I hope it’s not bad luck or anything to eat this on other than St. Patrick’s Day , but I cooked corned beef and cabbage for tonight’s dinner! I didn’t want to wait, . I love corned beef.

I have to learn to shrink my portion sizes. I keep putting too much on my plate.

I asked DH if it was alright to put German honey on Irish soda bread (toast) this morning

I've never made corned beef hash and hope there's enough corned beef left on Tuesday to make hash the following day. Besides potatoes, onion, and green pepper, are there any other ingredients to consider? I like corned beef hash with poached eggs, so we'll probably have breakfast for dinner on Wednesday.

I'm married to Patricio, his mother was Irish, Deirdre from Sligo! She and husband fled from Europe, first to the States and then settled in Colombia. They fled because they were helping people escape the Nazi regime.

Anyway, Deirdre and Franz went on to have 9 children. Now reduced to six siblings, 2 still live in Colombia, the rest in Europe.

Patricio takes St Patrick's day very seriously! Dresses all in green, even has a green hat, underpants and socks!

He likes me to make Shepherd's Pie for him, followed by a fruit crumble and, of course, a bottle of Jameson's...

My dad made corned beef hash with potatoes and onions, in a large skillet. Then when it finished cooking, he spread it evenly in the skillet and made several wells on top by pressing the back of a large serving spoon into the hash. Then he carefully cracked an egg into each well. He put the lid on the skillet and continued cooking until the eggs were poached.

I like to serve with flat leaf parsley on top.

Sounds like a plan! I will do the prep, and DH will cook the hash and eggs.

Tonight kept it simple, steamed asparagus, topped with slices of hard boiled eggs, vinaigrette with potato slices steamed then fried for a moment in a little oil with onion and a dash of cream, lots of pepper, bit of lemon.

Salmon again for dinner. I know it doesn’t look pretty, but hey, I’m no food stylist—that’s for sure! The salmon skin got scrunched up, and the salmon wasn’t sliced up into portions before cooking, so it was hard to cut nicely.

I was brave and used the mandolin for shredding cabbage (shudder! I had a bad experience before, if you can guess what I mean).
Also steamed some broccoli.
Made some dressing for the cabbage, kind of a peanut butter-sesame one. (Just made it up, without any recipe, lol)
Brown rice.

Poached eggs on hash, supreme yummm...

I have had it served with poached eggs on top served at restaurants too. You can’t go wrong serving poached eggs.

Food of the gods! I allow myself to indulge in corned beef hash with poached eggs and biscuits with sausage gravy a few times a year. For me, this type of breakfast is totally indulgent as I usually stick to yogurt with fresh fruit and nuts, a bagel with cream cheese (and sometimes, with lox), an occasional croissant or Danish. I'm not a major breakfast fan these days but do enjoy having breakfast/brunch in restaurants. Eggs Benedict or a spinach/mushroom/feta omelet are my usual breakfast orders.

Love corned beef hash. Love poached eggs. Afraid to poach. Making the wells in the hash and adding the eggs sounds happily doable. Thank you!

Our dad taught us the “making wells” method of cooking for several things. The first was making wells in our individual servings of mashed potatoes so we could fill them up with mom’s excellent homemade gravy.

Talking about eggs and making wells reminded me of a simple egg breakfast that was fun. We called it toad-in-the-hole, but heard it also called egg-in-the-hole.

You cut out a hole in the bread with a biscuit cutter, to crack the egg into to cook. Anyone else eat it this way?

Toad in the Hole was another recipe our dad taught us. I still make it sometimes but I shred some cheese over it while it is cooking.

My exciting acorn squash I had today. Brushed with olive oil, sprinkled with Trader Joe’s Green Goddess seasoning and a bit of Kosher Salt. Baked them upside down at 350 deg for about 30 min.

I ate 1/2 for lunch with my Premier Protein Cafe Latte drink diluted with a 1/2 cup of whole milk.

Sugar snap peas are almost ready to climb. The sunflowers are coming up and the watermelon radishes are really taking off. 4 Persian cucumber plants are almost ready for a trellis. The tiny broccoli seeds underneath are sprouting.

I’m not seeing much in the tomato & eggplant bed. There were some random sunflower seeds that sprouted. I pulled them all and hoping that chemical they put out, hasn’t discouraged my veggies and the marigold seeds.

Oh my gosh, they're so good on salads, too, poached eggs. Love, love, love poached eggs. Even plain on toast. You know what's very strange, though, if someone gave me like "just" a poached egg on a plate, I wouldn't know what to do, it's like you need to mop it up with something, lol.
