You should contribute pics more often Sheldon! :-)

It all looks wonderful, but I'd like to see the corned beef meal plated?

Looks great! I like the BIG SS pot. Looks like Piazza.

Voluptuous PIAZZA, the best cookware on the planet... that's my 18
quart stockpot.

Yeah, I screwed up. I meant to photograph the finished product but I
had to deliver St. Paddy's dinner to the people across town and I was
rushing. When I returned home to have mine by then I forgot. And I
didn't make a lot this year, not too many stores up in NY's hillybilly
northland even sell corned beef, and what I did find were brands I
never heard of and were like twice the NYC prices. It turned out fine
so next year I'll make a larger quantity.

But my burgers are to die for... and notice how I shape them slightly
ovate, to more easily fit the pan, and the Portugese roll. I make them
fairly thick and pan fry them on medium heat so even though they get
crusty on the outside they have nice pink centers. And I season the
meat with a little salt and pepper before grinding. I have mine on a
toasted Portugese roll with a little ketchup and thin sliced onion. My
devils wolf theirs down au jus. I usually make six because they
re-warm well, wrap in waxed paper, nuke a minute on medium. Warm is
fine, don't try to get em hot.

They both look fabulous, especially the burgers. This month, we're
going to try to find roast or steaks that are less expensive per pound
than hamburger, so we can finally grind our own. I keep forgetting.

Thanks for the photos.

Peace,
Carol

Well, ya can't do that with stupidmarket mystery meat... these hit the
pan within 20 minutes of grinding. And I do weigh them on my trusty
kitchen scale... usually I try for 7-8 ounces but these were 10 ounces
because I ended up with a little extra but could only fit 6 burgers in
that pan, so just make each a few bites bigger. Notice how there's no
sticking, and that's just an ordinary stainless steel Farberware
skillet... I've tried mightily to get stuff to stick to stainless, I
can't do it. The trick is not to polish the inside, the more scratches
the less sticking... but notice how shiny the outside, and that pan has
seen steady heavy use through some 40 years. I just noticed that if
you look carefully at the reflection in the shiny outside of that pan
you can see that I'm frying in the nude.

Patroness Jilly I presume? ;-)

Burger gotta be pink in the middle!
Nice and thick is the key for sure.

Frying in the nude is generally a bad idea. ;-)
Worry about them grease splashes!

Heh.

serene, who used to always cook in the nude, and nowadays is on a
housekeeping program that encourages one to get dressed (with shoes!)
every day, so it doesn't happen as often

the house 🙂

I always wonder when someone brings up a point about Bush, and you
then bring up something that Clinton did, are you saying they are both
wrong? Because that's all it points out to me, places where they both
messed up. It doesn't negate the fact that Bush did wrong; was that
your intention?

That type of argument is like

"Bob shot someone"

"Yeah, but don't you remember when Don hit that guy with a bat?"

It's really helped me, but I have to ignore a lot of sappy and
ultrachristian stuff (not saying others should ignore it, just that
it's not my personal favorite thing).

What is up with that? I've heard it mentioned, what is it,
some kind of housekeeping club? I see something like
Control Journal and run.

There's this woman who found a way to organize her life, and started
sending email reminders to her friends. Now she's got more than
250,000 subscribers. The email reminders are saving my bacon. Most
people will remember to do all the little housework tasks without
anyone telling them to, but I'm not most people, and it's been a total
lifesaver for me.

http://www.flylady.net -- beware the nauseating pink-and-purple!

Certain of her terminologies make me want to puke (frex, "Home
Blessing Hour"😉, but somehow they work for me (the Home Blessing Hour
is just ten minutes each of some basic weekly tasks).

Of the most help to me have been her insistence on throwing out
perfectionism ("Just vacuum the middles for now!"😉 and the concept of
using a fifteen-minute timer and stopping when it's done.

It's based on a 20+ year old, out of print book called, "Sidetracked
Home Executives." Worked great for me way back when , when I was
actually following it. I recently bought a copy of the book on eBay.
Now I just have to get my colored recipe cards and I'll be in
business!

No Christian stuff in the book, to the best of my recollection.

Peace,
Carol
