Happy St. Patrick's Day to you (yesterday)! This often overlooked holiday holds a special place in my heart. My dad and grandparents served an LDS mission to Ireland and have instilled in me a love of Irish music and culture. Seriously, does it get any better than Irish fiddle music? Ever since I can remember, we have had a big corned beef and cabbage meal on St. Patrick's Day. This year we decided to celebrate St. Patrick's Day the Sunday before, because Rachel was scheduled to have her baby on the 17th. My mom was under the weather so the responsibility fell on me to cook the St. Patrick's meal for 17 people. Talk about pressure. It actually was easier than I thought, and the meal turned out great. I guess it was good for me to finally learn how to put this meal together, because I plan on making it every year for my own family.
Cabbage. Corn. Asparagus.
Fruit tray.
Mashed red potatos with leeks, cream cheese, and butter.
The main event. Corned beef. Some people are kind of freaked out by the name corned beef--however, the corn refers to the fact that you cook the beef with peppercorns.
All dressed in green.
On the 17th, I made a green meal for dinner complete with mint chocolate chip ice cream for dessert.
Erin Go Braugh!!
