Yeah, I'm a dill fan as well. I think I have some on hand since I used it in chicken salad the other day!
What did I cook this weekend.....

I found a smallish beef tongue, which is now cooking souse vide… taco Tuesday tomorrow!
Sorry about the terrible picture. The beef tongue was easily to peel and it was tasty, tender and juicy. Served it up with blue corn chips, guacamole and salsa.
What no potatoes for keto. Potato is one of the healthiest tuber there is way more daily nutrients than some veggies. Sounds like a stupid diet.My lovely wife started keto about 2 weeks ago. Now that I understand it, I call it the cauliflower and bacon diet. I love bacon and meat in general but my brain just hates the taste of cauliflower. I love so many other veggies but cauliflower is almost at the bottom of the list just above beets. I miss potatoes
Not this weekend but for Paddys day I will be throwing the obligatory pint of homebrew Dry Irish Stout into the crock pot with a slab of corned brisket. The other half of the flat is currently drying off in the refrigerator and will be "pastramied", smoked to 160-170F, then into the steamer before refrigerating overnight.
Reviewing various recipes for corned beef: food network stated, "make sure you use Guinness draught, not stout as it will turn it bitter", I do not consider these being vastly different recipes. I'm using homebrew regardless, I just thought that statement was odd. Guinness does not list IBU or HBU on the website but comparisons on BA and other sites yield 40 IBU for both beers. Maybe someone is tasting the effects of nitrogen vs co2? That'll all be degassed in the cooking process, I've never had an overwhelming bitter in the stew. FWIW my stout comes in at a whopping 25 IBU
Anyways... it's going to be a good one. Fresh rye loaf and slaw for sammies on Friday!

A few years back my HBC was lucky enough to have reps from Guinness give us a talk and taste of various stouts. The IBUs of export and Antwerp were astonishingly high, but there was balance and the perception was it’s not so bitter tasting. Someone just looking at the numbers could think that way, and yes nitro sweetens the draught. Anyway, it all sounds delicious.
I reduce Guinness export Stout to a syrup when I do those chocolate chunk Guinness cookies that I have posted here many times, and have never noticed an offending bitterness at all. Those things are wonderful!
I follow Amazing Ribs corned beef and pastrami instructions for all of mine. The corned beef is great, and the pastrami is just out of this world!
but the slicing, ugh. I need a real slicer.
You’ve got a knife…
I’m not cooking the corned beef and cabbage until probably this weekend and will bake a loaf of soda bread then. So today, Irish scones to get the day started. Happy St. Paddy’s Day to ya! ☘
Happy St. Patrick's Day! We'll be having corned beef (cooked in the Instant Pot yesterday), mashed turnips with butter, and panfried cabbage with bacon. Not completely traditional but we like it better this way!
Out of bacon in the freezer so used some pancetta, fried up til browned, in the cabbage last night. it was very tasty! I think I still prefer bacon though. Now have 6 pounds of bacon to cook up in the oven and replenish the bacon fat jar and the bacon we keep frozen once cooked!

Surprised there was not a flood of...
This was from yesterday.
It's possible to have fun with it in your own way, perhaps with someone(s) you care about. That's what a lot (most) people do. Not meaningless, passe, or faux.
Made a pot of navy bean and ham soup this afternoon. Also added onions, carrots, celery, and barley....because, well barley makes everything taste better.
Chicken and cheese quesadilla with a few blue corn tortillas and guacamole.
Anybody else shocked that a brewer thinks barley tastes good?
Kids and a couple of their friends came over Friday night, so I grilled some rib eyes. Reverse sear at 220 on the Camp Chef Pellet Grill then about 2 minutes per side on the sear grill. This is a half sheet pan. And a good time was had by all (sorry no plated pictures, but they were all around 123-130 internal.)
(sorry no plated pictures, but they were all around 123-130 internal.)
That just looks fantastic. A favorite of mine for sure!
Thanks. I'm not a real fan of beans, but it's a texture thing not a taste thing. So I used an immersion blender to liquefy the beans, which also helped to thicken the soup, as did the barley. Came out more like a stew consistency, which is fine by me.

Anyone got a recipe for pain perdu?
(I didn't make this)
(I didn't make this)
Left work early yesterday to take care of a few things, and then caught up with a few work mates for dinner at a Vietnamese restaurant. I had Shaking Beef with garlic/butter rice and vegetables.
