Ok guys, did you turn my thread into a "food" thread to help distract me while I wait for my Infinity to arrive??? If so, THANKS!! By the way, I was thinking, IF my Infinity shipped out on Friday it would be here on Monday since the mail always moves faster over the weekend. hummmmm that would be nice since I only work a short day on Mondays! Hey, a girl can hope can't she???????
Now I need some help, in almost 28 yrs of marriage I've never cooked corn beef and cabbage. Always went out to eat it (I beleive in helping the economy! LOL) but since I "helped" the economy this year by buying an Infinity I'm cooking it at home myself BUT now that I've got my corn beef and head of cabbage what do I do??????

You need taters and carrots I know. Just google corned beef and cabbage recipes, that's what I do when I cook something I don't know. Lately it's been Stouffers, Banquet and Marie Calendars for me. I live off my microwave.
I forgot about the taters and carrots, OPPS ! Another trip to the grocery store tomorrow since I think we're out of both. You guys are disappointing me since I figured one of you would have a really good recipe in mind ! Off to google I go.........
If you own a pressure cooker, corned beef can be cooked to tender delisiousness very quickly. If not,barely cover it with water in a pot. Bring it to a boil and turn the heat down as low as you can, then cover it, or leave the lid cracked. If the water is bubbling at all, it's too hot. Slow and long, like 3.5 to 4 hours. I like to cook my cabbage with the CB, some don't like that and cook it seperately. I boil small red taters with carrots (put the whole carrots in an hour before the taters)
Serve with Irish soda bread or seeded rye. Yum.

Ya, That is how my ex cooked it, in a pressure cooker. Wait till these ladies come on. I'm sure Fran, Bovinia or one of the other girls know a recipe.
I'm having Lemon Garlic Shrimp for dinner compliments of Lean Cuisine.

Hubby always cooks our corned beef & cabbage, and pretty much the way NoM described...long, slow barely simmering. He cooks the cabbage with it, along with the taters and carrots. Neither of us cares much for the seasoning packet that usually comes with it so we just don't use it.
5C I have eaten possum, squirrel, ...., rabbit, loggerhead, rattlesnake...all those deep south poor folk meats, when I was a kid growing up on the farm. Can't say I care much for game meat. I don't even like venison. I don't cook a whole lot of high fat southern food anymore but I do still save my bacon fat for a pot of beans or greens. And I prefer purple hulled peas to black eyed peas

Thanks for the help guys. I think I'm gonna do a crockpot version of the corn beef and cabbage but the crockpots got to come to work with me cause I refuse to leave it on all day at home with no one here. wish me luck!!
Not a big game person here. Pheasant once in a while, wild turkey, rabbits not too bad but none of that possum squirrel stuff for me. Venison as hamburger is fine but leave the rest of to my hubby and son-in-law to eat. Love shrimp, scallops, calamari, not so much the fin fish. Never did learn to like grits. I do Maria Calandars !

OK, I now hate every single one of you. I'm ashamed to be part of this family.
I just had leftover dinner from last night, creatively crafted into spaghetti casserole, and I am now drooling. Well, except for the possum and squirrel/.... talk . . . although I hear beaver is some good eats . . . just see what Andrew Zimmern has to say about it:

It depends on where you get Venison. I had a deer hanging in the garage in Utah. I had it cut and wrapped and I'm telling you every piece I ate tasted like poop. I gave the whole thing to some people down there and they loved it. Now eastern WA. deer are excellent and so are the whitetail in Mont. but they feed in them big grain fields over there. It Utah they eat sage brush. The best meat I ever had. Well that and my brother had some sausage he gave me made out of bear, deer and elk mixed and it was wonderful.
Freaky at least you had leftovers. I live on frozen dinners. My body will have to be cremated because all the preservatives I eat it's not going to decay very fast.

I love Andrew's show No comment on the beaver tho! I admit to eating my share of Maria Calandars, but here is one of my biggest downfalls...I love home baked goodies!

I'm drooling Bovina !
If you like venison the venison around here is good by all accounts. The deer eat VERY well around here. I can vouch for some of their eating by how often I get upset when they invade my garden !!!

I think it's just the hot places like arizona utah etc. I'm sure the kind of deer comes into play too.
Bovinia I didn't miss his beaver comment but I already said I liked em but it was the Greek beaver tail I mentioned.

All the venison I've tried was from various parts of Arkansas. It's just too gamy tasting for me. But when I was a kid I ate what was put on my plate...or did without. I can still see my mama cut her eyes at me if I groaned about what was for dinner!
I've never tried any northern game like moose, elk or bear.

5C, ya gotta start doing some cooking at home! It's cheaper, healthier, and it really doesn't take much time. I can whip up a tastey meal in my wok in ten minutes. Serve it on a paper plate, just one vessel to clean! But I enjoy cooking as long as it will be for more than just myself.
I make an absolute killer split pea soup. Eats like a meal. Stuff lands in yer stomache like a lead baloon. I'd cook it more often, but I have to buy something like a spiral cut ham for the meat and the bone. can't do pea soup without some ham and a ham bone. Bacon too...hmmmm.... bacon...

Ya Nom, I know. I used too but I just got lazy I guess. The dishes washing never did bother me. I find it relaxing but I've just kinda lost interest in eating. I have the absolute worst digestive system there is anymore and so I have to nibble all day. No big meals and very little of my beloved beef. The Dr. wanted to put a pacemaker on my stomach to open it more often. But I'm not gonna take up valuable forum space whining.
