We’re just over a year into the COVID-19 pandemic.\u00a0 Most years past we would simply go to Meghan’s mother’s house, and she would put on a traditional dinner: boiled corned beef, boiled potatoes, and boiled cabbage.<\/p>\n

Last Year Was Different<\/h1>\n

Last year we ate a sad dinner on our own, as I had never made corned beef and cabbage before.\u00a0 I tried it in the slow cooker.\u00a0 It didn’t turn out very well.\u00a0 Lesson learned.<\/p>\n

This Year Is Different<\/h1>\n

Due to the wonders of science and concentrated efforts, the world has vaccines in record time and we see the light at the end of the figurative tunnel.\u00a0 My mother-in-law has been vaccinated and graciously agreed to come to our house.\u00a0 And I’m taking another stab at making traditional Irish-American dinner.<\/p>\n

Just finished assembling the raw ingredients for a traditional Irish-American dinner: corned beef, potatoes, cabbage, and onions<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Recipe<\/h2>\n

Taken from How To Make Corned Beef<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Stovetop method<\/strong>: For a 5 pound brined corned beef brisket. Place the corned beef in a Dutch oven. Sprinkle with one tablespoon of pickling spice blend and pour in 4 cups beef broth. Add potatoes, carrots, and cabbage. Bring to a boil on high heat. Reduce heat, cover and cook for about 3 1\/2 hours. Add water if necessary to keep brisket covered. Slice across the grain.<\/p>\n

The Aftermath<\/h1>\n

I don’t mind saying, it was delicious.\u00a0 But it might have been a side-effect of having company for the first time in a very, very long time.<\/p>\n

\"after<\/p>\n

We made two exceptions from tradition: I added garlic mashed potatoes, and we didn’t have Irish coffee after dinner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
