Roasting them in the oven with chopped garlic and EVOO is great too. Mixed with a bit of red wine or balsamic vinegar and spread on crostini, makes for a delicious roasted cherry tomato bruschetta, as well.

Boo... We went to our local pub for dinner and they'd just run out of corned beef and cabbage :(

They call themselves a pub! That shouldn't happen. I am sure that you were looking forward to it all day, too.

Trader Joe’s chicken enchiladas
nachos
Nopalito tortilla chips ($5.99/bag but oh so great!)
guacamole

probably Girl Scout cookies for dessert - I received an order of 6 boxes today!

Lemon pepper grilled halibut, butter lettuce salad, orange slices, baked potato, soda bread.

how’d you do the soda bread? Happy 3/17!! :-)

Both look great!
I planned on cooking Corned Beef today for my parents as they wanted it two Sundays ago. They changed their mind three days later as both baby backs and STL cut ribs went on sale unbeknownst to them, so I'll post picks this weekend, but (again) their changes affect my weekly shopping.

We did our corned beef and cabbage dinner several days ago, along with the required corned beef sandwich leftovers.
Tonight we went out to a local pub for the first time in many weeks. Had a couple of good beers, and hot dogs which they serve to satisfy the requirement that a bar must serve food to have indoor seating. A good evening.

How was your corned beef? Or are you cooking it Thursday? Slow cooker?
you are such a good baby and I hope your parents recognize how great you are. Care giving can be extremely mentally exhausting.

did you use rye like corky for the leftover sandwiches?
I loved the corned beef and my spouse isn’t interested in more - I’m pretty sure that neither of us actually had corned beef in 2020, and I can’t recall having it in 2019; at jewish deli my spouse prefers lox plates and I’m not sure when an actual pastrami or corned beef sandwich was actually consumed at a deli. I’ve often chosen pastrami instead of corned beef as a sandwich choice. So it’s hard for me to buy rye when it’ll only be for me as a sandwich when I could instead just cook corned beef hash without needing to buy rye. My personal favorite bread is tartine country loaf which I eschewed on Wednesday and could consider buying on Thursday.

Same here...no way we were having real corned beef yesterday because of my wife. However I had an alternate plan to satisfy whatever percentage of Irish is in me (somewhere between 1%-43% if you believe the DNA test my brother had done - they group a region and we suspect England is much more prevalent in our heritage). I had found Reuben sausages at Mariano's last week. I asked the meat counter guy and he said they were made with corned beef and sauerkraut (made with cabbage!). They were approved by my wife and we got 2 of those and 2 giardiniera sausages - both went in the freezer. When we took the thawed package out of the refrigerator last night, we discovered that we had accidentally grabbed the giardiniera instead. :(

What the heck is wrong with your wives? :D
Corned beef and especially pastrami are two of my absolute favorite foods. Luckily my wife at least likes them.
We make a corned beef dinner about 4 times a year.

A friend is cooking me corned beef and cabbage tonight. I will stop and pick up a bottle of Jameson's to enjoy with it. We were originally going to do it last night, but the weather forecast was very dodgy and she knew that if storms did come, my cats would prefer me at home with them.

Trust me, that's just the tip of the iceberg. She's not really picky but has some weird dislikes. In this case, she likes pastrami, and will order a pastrami Reuben (sometimes called a Rachel) at one of our local delis. What I will say is, despite her dislikes, she's not one of those people who has an issue with me having those foods in the house, eating them with or without her there, etc. She would have been fine with me making a hunk of corned beef while she ate a steak :).

On the other hand, I can't think of a food she likes that I definitely won't eat. Although there are certain combos that I won't touch, such as cottage cheese and fruit -- which I know many here will think is crazy. I like them separately but not together.

Tonight's scheduled dinner:
Pan Fried Steaks,
Steamed Corn,
White Rice

My wife went out to dinner last night with her sister. She told me to buy something for myself on the way home from work. I knew I had some things in the freezer, so I decided to just cook something at home. While rifeling through my freezer, I found some thin cut steaks I froze from January, so I took them out to thaw in the refrigerator and decided to have them tonight.

I don't like cottage cheese. It's the texture that turns me off to it.
