I'm not one to get into all the little holiday's. But for some reason I felt it was important to celebrate St Patrick's Day this year. I told Rodney on Friday that I was going to make corn beef and cabbage Sunday for dinner. So Saturday I set out to buy all the ingredients necessary to prepare, said meal. I got to the main ingredient corn beef and I just couldn't do it. The back story to this is that my Mom would occasionally make this and lets just say I always thought it was gross. I have had it once since my childhood, when I was a nanny in Massachusetts and it was fabulous. However, as I was holding the meat in my hand I just looked at it and thought, huh maybe this isn't a good idea. So instead of corn beef we had steak instead. I must say it was a much better choice.
Next I had to make dessert, Landon and I made a Grasshopper Cake.
It turned out pretty good, a little too minty, but it was still tasty!
Good call on the corn beef. I've never had it, but I'd take steak any day of the week! You are much better than me, we didn't do anything for St Patrick's Day except wear green to church :)
