I thought for sure that I would be able to use the last week to catch up on some reading. For those who may not be regulars here, I had my wisdom teeth pulled, and was kind of looking forward to a few days ‘vacation’ from normal duties. But now I feel like I owe everyone a huge apology. A blogging friend of mine asked how I manage my time the other day.
Between cooking and getting the posts up (not to mention the dishes) food blogging can take up a large chunk of time. She asked how I returned every comment or commented on
I comment when I can, and I thought this weekend would be an awesome time to sit back and read hundreds of beautiful food posts… it just didn’t happen.
I didn’t even make time to read my comics from last Wednesday for this

Part of all good
A recent post I read and am guilty of not saving a link to, broke down why comments shouldn’t be the only thing we bloggers crave, and I have to agree. I am guilty of not leaving comments on every post, but I do check almost every single one that comes through my reader or on Foodbuzz. I am working on a little time management to sneak some comment leaving love in.
So today, I am sorry this post contains no alcohol, I’ll make up for it tomorrow as we continue on our Irish themed celebration this week, and I am working on leaving comments. Promise, though the alcohol one is guaranteed… for tomorrow. Seriously.

Corned Beef and Cabbage
Ingredients
- 6 lbs corned beef, with packet
- 2 lbs small red potatoes
- 1 lbs carrots, peeled and cut in half
- 1 onion, peeled
- 1 head cabbage, divided into 6 wedges
Instructions
- Fill a large stock pot with enough water to cover corned beef. Place beef, and contents of seasoning packet if included with purchase, in stock pot and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2 to 3 hours, until a toothpick or wooden skewer can be inserted easily into the meet.
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Remove beef from water and place in roasting pan with a ladle of cooking liquid. Place in oven to keep warm.
- Meanwhile, place potatoes, carrots, and onion in the stock pot and bring to a boil, cooking for 10 minutes. Add cabbage and boil an additional 10 minutes.
- Remove beef from oven and slice against the grain. Serve with drained vegetables.

Found you recipe looking for new takes on corned beef and cabbage. I'm only commenting because you apologized for not having alcohol in this recipe. No fear my friend. Substitute some nice Irish beer for the water and you'll have your wish. Beer is a great stock base for corned beef and cabbage. Happy St Patty's to you. Beautiful pictures BTW.
