Now Im going to have to make jambalaya soon that looks so good!
The main reason I cook corned beef. Reubens. And pickles. And beer.
The cocktail was Highclere Castle gin on the rocks. (Yes it is the Downton Abby castle) As with any new gin I tried it on the rocks first. It is frighteningly smooth, but it is only 87 proof so throw caution to the wind. To me it has a slight minty taste, maybe the lime flower listed as a botanical?

We had a belated corned beef and cabbage and invited neighbors. Also included mini potatoes, rutabaga, onions, and carrots. Homebrewed stout. Disposables, because our dishwasher broke.

I really like this recipe but hadn’t made it in awhile…cheesy polenta topped with spinach, tomatoes, sausage and a poached egg, courtesy of The Kitchn. I used a green chile sausage for a lil’ extra kick and finally got my egg poaching to a consistent place using silicone egg poachers I got for Xmas. Yum!

Portobello mushroom risotto with a schmancy Italian barley and a velvety glass of Cab Franc.
(Does anyone remember Recipe Source? That’s where I found this recipe back in the early aughts; I just have some old printouts, I don’t think the site is around anymore but it’s a nice nostalgia trip whenever I dig through my tattered binder o’ recipes.)

Mrs. P made spicy Andouille sausage and shrimp empanadas, and guacamole and chips to start. She also added garlic crisps, sautéed red onions, and mushrooms. For entrees we were supposed to have some leftover penne with smoked salmon, that was made and frozen several weeks ago, but somehow the smoked salmon had a really fishy smell, and tasted off, so we had to toss it. What a shame. It was really good when she initially made it. She has made it several times in the past and the leftovers always reheated nicely. Anyway, we had to pivot to an improvised plan B. We had some frozen eggplant cutlets in the freezer, and heated them up and made a stacked eggplant tower with Rao’s tomato and basil sauce and fresh shaved parmigiana reggiano. We had an excellent cabernet to go with it.

Your meal looks grand!
And actually as I don’t eat red meat and the hubby shouldn’t, your side dish was our whole meal - we did cabbage and turkey bacon. (The nice Columbus turkey bacon from Costco.) Surprisingly tasty and satisfying, with big chunks of bacon, and my mom’s rolls on the side. No pictures as I didn’t think it would be that good. And then no pictures cuz we ate it all!

Ooh, yum.
Belated St Patrick’s Day corned beef, cabbage and parsley potatoes, prepared by the local farm, reheated by me with the addition of some horseradish cream. Delicious!

Woot! Remembered to take a pic of dinner again!
We had reimagined leftovers — pan-fried noodles with mixed vegetables and shrimp.
This was 3 different sets of chinese leftovers (asparagus with tofu, mixed greens, and the vegetables left from an old order of pan-fried noodles, all from our favorite chinese restaurant that we OD’d on while my nephews were visiting — after almost 2.5 years!) PLUS fresh shrimp and rehydrated black mushrooms — and of course fresh noodles.
Tasty for being a mish mosh!

I’m with you - fat is good! It must be a genetic thing. My father would regularly get into arguments with servers at delis in Berkeley about wanting fattier slices of corned beef and pastrami.
