I’m sure you’ve heard this question many times while watching TV shows. Until recently I’ve been unable to say yes, but now our family has one. Our granddaughter Sarah received her Doctorate from the University of Connecticut for her accepted thesis on Macular Degeneration. As a published researcher on the subject she has recently accepted a position at Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland. Our family is so very proud of her achievements and wish her the very best in the move. Sarah is already in Ireland and will be celebrating Saint Patricks’ day in Dublin. We miss her already and hope you join me in sending her this little Irish blessing.
May the dreams you hold dearest,
Be those which come true,
The kindness you spread,
Keep returning to you.
In keeping in the mood, I give you the following recipe:
Slow-Cooker Corned Beef and Cabbage
4 large carrots, peeled and cut into matchstick pieces
10 baby red potatoes, quartered
1 onion, peeled and cut into bite-sized pieces
4 cups water
1 (4 pound) corned beef brisket with spice packet
6 ounces beer
1/2 head cabbage, coarsely chopped
Place the carrots, potatoes, and onion into the bottom of a slow cooker, pour in the water, and place the brisket on top of the vegetables. Pour the beer over the brisket. Sprinkle on the spices from the packet, cover, and set the cooker on High.
Cook the brisket for about 8 hours. An hour before serving, stir in the cabbage and cook for 1 more hour.
