Good 46º cloudy morning.
Yesterday the sun came out and then it went away again. Dang. By noon we
were only at 57º. The 78º on Thursday was AWESOME!
I put the corned beef under the running water and washed it off real well
and then soaked it in a bowl of water to get rid of the salty and spices that
are added to it.
I cut up the leeks and carrots, added to bottom of Crock*Pot, then the
beef, topped with brown sugar, and the Guinness went into the pot...
Two hours before the end of the cooking time I cut up some cabbage and
added that into the pot.
I cooked and mashed 3 potatoes. Mashing them with butter, buttermilk, salt,
pepper, and roasted garlic seasoning. Then I stirred in cooked cabbage to make
colcannon.
I topped the corned beef with some sour cream horseradish. OMGOOOOOOOD!!!
Corned beef was PERFECT! Didn't want to stop eating it!!!

This bit of information from friend Hilome.....
When NASA started sending astronauts into space, they
quickly discovered that ball-point pens would not work in zero gravity. To
combat this problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and $12 billion developing a
pen that writes in zero gravity, upside-down, on almost any surface including
glass and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to over 300
C.
The Russians used a
pencil.
Your taxes are due again - enjoy paying
them.
