Tonight’s dinner

I usually make corned beef around the time of St. Patrick’s Day. That’s when it’s at a big sale. I finally made it today. To go along with the corned beef I sautéed some cabbage and baked some sweet potatoes, which I diced. And for dessert I still have some Irish soda bread left over. Should be a yummy dinner. Can’t wait to dive in. There should be enough for two dinners so no cooking tomorrow. Yay!

That's sounds a great deal for any time, not just St Patrick's Day.

@porwest Can you get pickled pork there? We prefer it to corned beef.

@JudyEv I know I have seen it. I have never eaten it. From what I can recall of it, it never looks appealing.

I agree. Usually I make corned beef at least twice a year. Man, that's good eats.

That's one of my favorite. I can eat a lot of rice if there is a corned beef.

That sounds amazing! Corned beef, cabbage, and sweet potatoes make a great combo.

I wanted to make a corned beef as I do pretty much every year, but this year they were WAY too high in price, so I decided not to. I will look for a sale now that St. Patty's Day is behind us.

My supermarket had it on sale and there was also a digital coupon. It was $1.39/lb if I remember correctly.

@porwest I regret getting only one. Could’ve gotten more and just froze it. I don’t like to freeze meat but I’d make an exception. I do that when my mom buys too much meat from a butcher lol.

@lovebuglena $1.39 a pound would be a steal. I don't think I have ever seen it that cheap.

No way lol. I don't bake. Hubby bought it. Though not a huge fan of this one as it has caraway seeds in it. I don't mind them but not in Irish soda bread.
