Every year on March 17, we offer our twist on this Irish American tradition of corned beef and cabbage. But why do they call it corned beef? “Corn” refers to the corn-sized salt crystals that the beef was packed in. Along with some pickling spice, carrots, potatoes, and cabbage wedges, we simmer to perfection. Served warm, this meal is a hearty all-in-one dish. Just one bite of this succulent main dish and you’ll feel lucky.
(Have fun this St. Patrick’s Day and reserve your dish of luck!)
February makes our thoughts turn to our hearts (American Heart Month), our loves (Valentine’s Day), our friends (Black History Month), our tatas (Donna Marathon), and Gregory Paul’s 11th birthday (Feb. 24).
Wow… that’s a month of complete body and mind awareness. You got to “love” it! So let’s celebrate each other with simple acts of love by helping those who are weary and tired from the struggles of this past year. Perhaps, a smile or an extra helping hand from us to you; a meal for a friend or neighbor, or even an in-kind donation to a charity supporting today’s challenges (V for Victory, Breast Cancer Research, or The Mission House). And for yourself… for having such a kind and open heart.
