I am one of those who makes corned beef once a year. Since I forgot to buy rye bread I decided to try baking one. It proves I am NOT a baker. One Guinness for simmering, one for sipping.
We celebrated with a New England Boiled Dinner DW put together. 4.5 pound brisket courtesy of Aldi’s. It sliced like “buttah” and was fork tender. Very pleasing cured taste.
Carrots, baby potatoes were roasted; cabbage added to the corned beef. Homemade Americanized Irish Soda Bread, all delicious. (I made the bread) ! Finally have the energy - yay!!
First day sheltering in place - worked from home and got shit done. Marinated pork chops in yogurt, ginger, garlic, paprika, etc. then rubbed them with a spice blend i made months ago and saved. We split one chop, saved the other. Also, roasted cauli tossed in olive oil, parm, granulated garlic & onion, smoked paprika, and TJs’ Everything But the Elote seasoning. I made an obligatory salad too. meh.
Dessert was these delightfully juicy, tiny mandarins i got at TJs on Saturday. Can’t stop eating them - have already gone thru 3/4 of a 5 lb. box.
Made a very brown dinner last night. Tasted better than it looks. Lentils (added to onion, carrot, celery, tomato, zucchini) with feta spinach chicken sausages. Parsley, because green!
Popped into Chinatown on Saturday for what will be my last meal out for a while. Picked up a block of Japanese curry sauce mix at one of the Chinese supermarkets. No chicken at the supermarket today but glad there was breaded chicken. So chicken katsu curry with brown rice and broccoli.
