Murphy's (The Dog, Not the Beer) St. Patrick's Day Feast!
St. Patrick's Day is just around the corner! It was one of Murphy's favorite holidays. How does a dog have a favorite holiday? Well, between spending the afternoon in the kitchen by me and that the large, very tasty, brisket on the horizon, why wouldn't it be? So, for The Sous chef, St. Patrick's Day was up there on the holiday list. This brisket, which has nice crispy edges and so tender and juicy, is the is the perfect way to celebrate in Irish American style! And of course, you must wash it all down with a nice cold Murphy's - Murphy insists!
A St. Patrick's Day Feast
The Tradition Done Not So Traditionally
Every year either on, or at the very least near to St. Patrick's Day we have a get together with our neighbors and prepare our own takes on the traditional corned beef and cabbage.
I have to say, my take is also my personal favorite - I may be biased but Murphy says it's okay, I'm right. Instead of the usual slow-cooker approach you get crispy seared corned beef (think thick, juicy pastrami), creamy sweat and spicy cabbage slaw, and crunchy fried bread. Eat it with a knife and fork or make it a sandwich (I call it the O'Ruben - well, it's kind of the same, pastrami-ish meat, creamy/spicy cabbage, and toasted bread). The dipping sauce is the same as the sauce for the slaw, so just save a little out and you have yourself a great St. Patrick's Day meal. Oh, and it's great with a Guinness!

I say these are moderately difficult because you have to boil them and then bake them. Other than not overcooking them during the boiling process, these are actually insanely easy to make.

Toast is great, or so I used to think. Then I had fried bread. Seriously there's no going back now. Fried bread isn't like a doughnut. It's simply ...

Okay, I Use It A Lot, But That Might Be A Bit Overly Dramatic
This is a tangy, sweet, and somewhat spice slaw. Actually, you can make it VERY spice by upping the hot sauce, horseradish, and crazy hot mustard. ...
