Hi Everybody...
Did Y'all have a Kick Ass Week-End?
Yesterday I had to go to Walmarks to get a vacuum cleaner belt.
Now I usually do my grocery shopping at Kroger, but this is a Super Walmarks and I aimlessly wandered to the grocery section there. As I was perusing the meats, I noticed that corned beef briskets were 2.14 a pound. At Kroger they were 3.59 a pound marked down from 3.99!!
I thought about how good a Corned Beef/Swiss on Rye bread sandwich would taste for my lunch on Monday, and I bought TWO!
This seems like a lot of meat, but believe me they really shrink when they cook down. So I am cooking one brisket very slowly in the oven with a honey/mustard glaze. And I'm making a boiled dinner with the other one. After boiling the other brisket for about 3 hours, I added a cabbage head, about 10 nice sized carrots, and a Rutabaga! My grandmother never made vegetable soup without adding a "beggie" as she called them. If you have ever been fortunate enough to have a Michigan Upper Peninsula taste treat supreme known as a Pastie, the main underlying flavor of that little regional treasure is the rutabaga.
The smell permeating thru my house know is driving me CRAZY!!!
Sooo...?
Where in the WORLD is G-Man's Fu-Manchu?
Pretty clean-cut eh?
Next thing ya know I'll lose about 80 pounds and get Lyposuction!!
NAW........!!!
Have a Great Week....And Happy Martin Luther King Day.
It's no Holiday for me!
Peace...!!!

Did you go to cooking school? I can just imagine the taste and aroma now. I'm hungry. Your looking a might bit spiffy? There something going on you ain't telling us? LOL. Have a great weekend!
Between the cabbage and the beggie, it would be a fartfest at the Monkey Man residence after a meal like that. Wouldn't stop me though.
Ya got me on three out of three of the items in you post.
First the corned beef, wow, last night we went to a local deli (yes we finally got a somewhat authentic one here in south Tennessee) The sandwich is called The New York Yankee)and the shaved CB is piled so high I almost can't get my big mouth around it. Fantastic.
Second My wife and sister in law who lives down here are from Detroit. My sister in law used to make the Pastie and pedal them to the local factory workers in and out of Detroit. My wife and I met at Wayne State.
And third, the vacuum sweeper belt. As I was doing my share of the home chores my belt broke and I also had to replace it.It meant a trip to Ace and some other treat shopping.
Great to hear from someone from Michigan.

sounds wonderful, i would love to make some corned beef but there is too much sodium in it for our diets. never had a rutabaga though, wouldn't know what to do with one if i had it!!
Don't think I've ever cooked with a "beggie" before.
I have an award for you.
