Thought I'd promote an Irish food dish. Little did I realize this was not true! Hear in Boston, MA, St. Patrick's Day parade was cancelled.

So, I thought my recipe of corned beef & cabbage would be a nice treat . . . CIAO, AP

Hi, mas24, and Welcome! I am told my recipe, corned beef & cabbage is not a common Irish recipe, how about that, I never knew that!

But, I know corned beef & cabbage, and this dish is very tasty indeed! AP

Welcome, shadows creation! Hear in Boston, MA - St. Patrick's Holiday is celebrated BIG time. This year St. Patrick's Day Parade was canceled. Sad indeed! No heavy laughter, no green beer, no fun and happiness!

But! I made corned beef & cabbage American style, so the whole day was not wasted! The taste was very pleasing . . . AP

Yesterday's dinner - St. Pattie's Day - "Corned Beef & Cabbage". I was able to buy a small Corned Beef in my food store for a good deal! The dinner above was tasty as can be . . .

I added 1/3c more of Pickling spices to the water in my 8L pressure cooker, not electric! Started cooking on high then lowering the temp low, total cooking time about two hours in my pressure cooker! Meat did not shrink that munch!

After cooling down, I removed the meat and placed it in a dish on the side. The water was very flavorful from the added pickling spices. The veggies were then added to the water except the cabbage. Two very large carrots, two medium potatoes, three celery stocks, chopped about two inches then added to the pot.

Once the water started to boil, I covered the pot and cooked for ten minutes. Next I cut the cabbage in half then in half again. After ten minutes I released the pressure and the cover and placed the cabbage on top of the veggies and cooked for fifteen more minutes . . . DONE ! Very, very, tasty! CIAO, AP

Welcome, chase4! This is another simple dish to fix, and it is tasty indeed. If we slow down on the food we eat, we will live longer and in good health, and save money in the long run! CIAO, AP

Cooking swordfish is quick and easy as can be. Steady watching while cooking is needed so it's not over cooked. Looks like Chicken as you can see, but it's Swordfish Steak!

Cooked on med-high to high in the beginning, brown bottom of fish as shone and turn with lowing the heat and partially cover in small frying pan, about 2-3 minutes that's it, NO-LONGER for this about one inch piece.

I use frozen veggies these days it's faster! Big selection in the food store to choose from, I never knew it till I looked! Cooked frozen with one 14.5 can of chicken stock on med-high. Seasoned after after cooking is done about 7-8 minutes!

I added two tabs of butter and sprinkled: Oregano, Sweet Basle, Black Cracked Pepper, and cracked Dill all over veggies . . .

I do save on my fish. I BUY only on sale. This Swordfish was a small whole pice, but large to cut in half! Once again, this is a Fast and easy recipe to try. Not to much to do and buy! I mix my frozen . . . CIAO, AP

Welcome, poprock48! Thank You for your positive comment. If one makes a fine photo, does that mean he can pass judgement on other photos? No of course not, he can state his opinion. All photographs have to tell a story, have something to say and show!

As you know, at times, people say the wrong things! They speak too fast in their response. CIAO, AP

Welcome, Wingpilot! You cannot beat chicken. Many people would rather eat chicken breast. But, the darker meat is more taster. HOW'S THAT! AP

Jp, this simple dish was indeed tasty as can be, and, simple to make. Please try it! AP

I have to say, Waltnetto, I've been asked that question in the past! My answer was, there's a waiting list! AP

Welcome, Blair Shaw Jr! Thank You, you wrote a lot of kind words! I have to say, this was a very tasty dish. Pulling the skin off the chicken when I started made big difference. With olive oil & butter in the pan, of the well seasoned chicken browned perfect!

I did not mention, I also added a 1/2 glass of white wine when sautéing! Please try this dish, it's simple, fast, and not expensive at all! CIAO, AP
