To try new recipes weekly has been hard.
Some weeks I can do and others I cannot.
This week I tried two new recipes so that should make up for missed weeks, right?
SO, tonight I tried to make Corned Beef (in the spirit of St. Patrick's Day and my Irish roots somewhere) and Braised Red Cabbage (why do they call it red when it is really purple?).
The recipe for the corned beef was rather simple, I just followed the directions on the package. It took longer than the package said but my husband the Culinary Graduate said I did not have it on a TRUE simmer. Umm, okay.
The recipe for the Braised Red Cabbage came from Epicurious.
Everything was tasty. The Corned Beef a little salty but that is expected from that kind of meat, I guess.
