Is it St. Paddy or St. Patty? Anyway, is anyone else cooking anything for it like the traditional cabbage and corn beef? I use to like corn beef, but seems like it has too much sodium nitrite solution or whatever stuff that should be in antifreeze instead. So I was planning to bake pork ribs and sauerkraut with potatoes. I decided to use baby back ribs instead of spare ribs. It's suppose to be warm and Sunny enough tomorrow to grill out but I think I'll just go with baking the ribs and sauerkraut.

I took a 3 pound slab of corned beef and placed whole pepper in the bottom of a iron crock pot. With some olive oil mixed on the bottom, I placed the slab fat down. Cooked it for two hours on low. Added potatoes, cooked another hour, placed carrots and cabbage in and 45 minutes later....the corn beef flaked off the fork, the potatoes were just right and the cabbage and carrots just right....where is that green beer?
We always do corned beef and cabbage. It can be tough, but my mom's family recipe is to slow simmer it in a pot of water all day and then add the cabbage, potatoes, carrots, and onion about an hour before dinner. It sometimes makes it too tender and it falls apart, but it's awesome! One of my favorite meals of the year.
I cook the corned beef very slow and about an hour before it is done I add the cabbage, carrots, onions and whole potatoes. I also make Irish soda bread but I do not put raisins in mine. My family expects me to make enough for Rubens later. For dessert my family likes either mandarin orange cake or angel food cake with strawberries, blue berries, black berries and raspberries and whipped cream.
Ours will be at:
Boxing Donkey Irish Pub, Roseville, CA
Menu
Corn Beef & Cabbage, Shepherd's Pie,
Caesar and Cranberry Walnut Salads
+Beverages.
Did I mention that it's an Irish Pub.

Our St. Patrick's Day party is tomorrow night. My pure Irish wife (born & raised in Kilkenny) buys thick or "second" cut corned beef (21 lbs) and boils, drains, boils, drains, and then boils for three hours. This removes much of the salts and gives a very tender meat. I made the shepards pie yesterday, with lamb of course.

St. Patty's Day? It's either St. Patrick's Day or Paddy's Day. No Irish says "St. Paddy's Day." Patty is a girl.
I think you meant to say it's St Paddy's. That's what I usually use but I see St. Patty used a lot maybe because Patrick has no "d" in it"?

No, I meant to write "Paddy's Day." When they use the diminutive, the Irish skip the "Saint." The diminutive of Patrick is Paddy, not Patty.
