St. Patrick's Dinner Reviews - 2010 - cjs - 03-18-2010
What a fun delicious dinner!! I could have eaten a whole loaf of the soda bread with the Whiskey Butter!!!!
We started the night out right -

And ended up pigging out, that's for sure!

Interesting how the 'pink salt' reaction didn't make it all lthe way through the brisket, but it was wonderful, flavorwise. I'll do this again.
Bubble & Squeak (always so good)
Sweet & Sour Cabbage (Issue #62) - kept nibbling on this one - Yum.
Whiskey Glazed Corned Beef - (Issue #62) really tasty!!
And Cis mentioned in another thread that the cabbage with lemon is really good too - anxious to make it!

We also had the Whiskey Glazed Corned Beef with Sweet & Sour Cabbage. I love both of those recipes. This year, I tried using my slow cooker for the corned beef, and I will say that I probably won't do that again. I definitely prefer the flavor and texture of the beef when it's done on the stove, but it is certainly possible that my inexperience with the slow cooker contribute to the textural problems. The glaze, as always, was perfect, as was the cabbage. I served it with Garlic Mashed Potatoes. This is my favorite St. Paddy's Day dinner!

We did the whiskey glazed corned beef - OMG - why haven't I made this before. The glaze was so wonderful
I didn't have cabbage - but tossed some brussels sprouts and pearl onions in some butter, stone ground dijon, balsamic vinegar, and maple syrup. Perfect.
We did the mashed potatoes and parsnips. My, oh my, I could eat those every night.
All in all this was a great dinner.

He cooked the briskets overnight in a slow oven in beer, stock and spices. The nest day he strained off the juice, defatted it, and cooked the cabbage in it. It was delicious.

I was searching for the recipe for whiskey butter and found I didn't make Attie's corned beef last year, I made C@H!!! And, it was good.

But, where's the recipe for my whiskey butter????
Re: St. Patrick's Dinner Reviews - DFen911 - 03-17-2011
I'm going to do Attie's in May, but for St. Paddys day I keep it very traditional. Brined corned beef, steamed cabbage, and butter potatoes and lots of mustard.
I was not thrilled with beef, I think next year I buy a big ol brisket and brine my own so I can make sure it has that flavor punch.

Bill, I bet you guys are ready to get back to simple food! You guys have just come back from a MAJOR foodie week...LOL! But it was fun, though, wasn't it? I'd love to hear your overall feelings about your trip. What did you think of Charleston? And would you go back?
