Apologies to everyone I have not caught up with lately, but I will get around to each of you eventually! It has been so long since I posted anything here I have about forgotten how, so here is a picture from my dinner. I love corned beef! I made this last night in the 3 quart Instant Pot on pressure for 90 minutes, then placed in a stainless steel meat press which makes it easy to slice cold and then reheat. Portion control and all that, too.
It is tender and delicious. I got the dish at a yard sale this morning for $1 and consider it a lucky find as a deep dish pie plate like this could easily cost forty or fifty times that much. It is almost 3″ deep and 12″ in diameter.
Do you like to go to yard sales? Have you gotten any great bargains lately?
Do you like corned beef?
Gosh, I love corned beef! And seeing this picture just made me salivate!
Hi Muobo, I was away for some months, you salivating over corned beef makes us kindred spirits! Happy Holidays!
this makes me jones for corned beef, which is seasonal around here…
I would like to have some right now!
I could type the same thing and it would be accurate no matter when you read it
Day or night, any day of the week, etc. Right now!
corned beef on demand? that’s what I call streaming…
Good one, Alex, I would take streaming corned beef over Netflix any day. Speaking of food, I am making a corn casserole.
Bon appitie, mon cher…
Merci beaucoup, Alex, it was very good. I ate more tonight.
leftovers- the gift that keeps on giving
I love them both, now I am hungry, and want to go to yard sales lol.
Shopping always makes me hungry, LaJenna!
Yes, I like corned beef. It is easy to prepare and to cook.
Finally, here is something we have in common.
Wow! that is great. Since I was a kid, corned beef was my favorite. Now I am already a senior citizen.
That too we have in common, although I do not feel “old” and hope you do not feel “old” either.
Unfortunately in our country we do not have a sale in the backyard
Oddly, we do not have yard sales near my summer home, vidocka, but down here 40 or 50 homeowners set up tables in their driveways every spring and every fall. They even have a charity that collects money by driving around in a golf cart selling cold drinks and hot dogs.
I love yard sales but I have not been to one in years. However, I do go to thrift stores a lot in see bargains there.
I like them both! The main difference is there is haggling at the yard sales and most things are a lot cheaper. Also it is easier to find things at thift stores.
Easier bargain too at yard sales. And besides, at yard sales you may not run into the issue of getting something dirty or torn compared to second hand thrift stores. I have purchased things from thrift stores that were borderline unusable
I love corned beef since I was a kid. After I got married, I am the only corned beef eater at home.
The recipe that I like most is frying it with butter, chili, garlic, and onion.
That sounds good. I even like it cold.
It looks very good and tasty – I have not tried these dishes yet
I am sure you would like it. I like it all year round, but here it is most popular on St. Patrick’s Day, served with cabbage.
Oh, I believe then is this a solid dishes?
It is solid when sliced and served like a luncheon meat, but softens up when heated. Either way I make mine very tender.
Ann, I believe you make it great – I’ll invite you to try it haha
I’ve never liked corned beef but I do go to what we call “Garage Sales” I think the same as your “Yard Sales”
I guess its the way its cooked.
Hi Pamela, this dish I actually got at a Lot Sale in a manufactured home park, but I thought most people would not know what that is. They just have carports instead of garages and it is like a garage sale except that there are hundreds of them all on the same day, and they print up a map that shows which homeowners are participating. They are really fun.
It looks delicious indeed! I wish we had such sales here too.
Thank you ellie925, where I stay in the summer we don’t have this kind of sale, but in the spring and fall I live in an area that has lots and lots of them. I really enjoy going to them and almost always buy things.
I have never made it in the oven Carol, how long do you cook yours?
I am a fool for corned beef and cabbage! Whenever my mum asks what I want for dinner, that’s the first answer I give…
I love it too, Alex and make it often. I like it fork tender so I cook mine for 90 minutes in the Instant Pot. Easy Peasy! I normally cook the cabbage separately, in chicken broth.
it’s so easy, even I can make it
I suspect that you are adept at making complicated food, too, when you want to be.
Yes I love it with cabbage. I always bake it in the oven.
