St. Patick's Day Dinner Party |
[Down to Last] |  |

In celebration of Saint Patrick's Day, I normally have a dinner party with all the local vacuum cleaner collectors. This year is no exception.
This will be a continuing thread as the week progresses. Have to dust off the vintage vacs that everyone will be enjoying. And do the grocery shopping. Corned Beef and cabbage, potatoes, veggies, Irish Soda Bread, and moist Coconut cake with green coconut to celebrate the season. First, to do the grocery shopping. I never go to the grocery store hungry. I made lunch for myself and my husband before we went to the store. Turkey Bacon Cheeseburgers with sauteed onions imprisoned under the melted cheese on top of the burner. The secret is to use a cast iron skillet to get those crispy edges to the burner.

Grocery shopping all done. All carried in the house and put away.
Stomach growling, so we both decided to have Mexican food at Frida's Cantina and Grill. We ate from the lunch menu, and it was just enough. I had the Fajitas Taco Salad, and Donnie had the chicken burrito with Ranchero sauce and rice. Such good food, and the waiter is the best. | ||

Watching Dolly hand out the ACM country music awards, I made a little something for dinner. Starting the prep work on the St. Patrick's Dinner on Saturday, I also decided to whip up some dinner for Donnie.
I made a pork chop breaded in Panko with Parm and Garlic, then chicken fried it. A creamy gravy of onions and mushrooms smothered the chop and the yellow smashed potatoes with skin on. Steamed Broccoli and homemade Parker House rolls with real butter filled out the dish. Can't wait until Saturday for the dinner party. 12 local collectors, and 1 new one to introduce to everyone.

Tom at Publix here in Florida that would have been almost $35 or more. For some reason corned beef is very expensive here. I have not gone to the store this week, hopefully they may be cheaper. How do you cook yours? I have been using my Instant Pot, with onions and the spice packet, then when its done cook the cabbage for a few minutes. Or everything in the crock pot all day. I make mashed potatoes with mine, family prefers them.

You can’t have St. Patrick’s Day corned beef and cabbage without the cabbage.

I’m not a big fan of cooked cabbage either. I like it once a year with the corned beef and cabbage, and of course I love it in coleslaw. I have a wonderful recipe for South Carolina coleslaw, which is red. It’s called “barbecued coleslaw“, except there is no barbecue sauce in it at all. I’ve had it at a number of different barbecue restaurants in South Carolina, and my good friend Hans Craig gave me the recipe for it.
I love cooking the carrots and the small potatoes with the corned beef in the oven. I have to work until 2 o’clock the day of the dinner party, so the oven is going to be my friend.

Adam came to help with the cooking. While I was baking, he decided to run the Kirby. It is a model 519 restored into the colors of a tradition. It is beautiful.

Of course, he also had to bring the Legend 2. Look at that gorgeous shine. No blue gloves required.

The more the merrier
Adam came over to help with the cooking. Our wonderful Irish day begins on Saturday. I’m feeling this season. We decided to have some dinner, a break from all the cooking prep, and made some “lunch lady“ pizza, just like you got in high school. With spicy Italian sausage and Imo’s pizza sauce along with provel cheese. Provel cheese is only found on St. Louis style pizza, I don’t think it’s used anywhere else in the world. It was better than high school. No ghosts in this house.

Kyle trying out a Clean Obsessed canister. That was the machine that won the cleaning contest at the vacuum cleaner collectors convention in September of last year.

I agree. And this one, in tradition blue, is just stunning. Adam does such good work.
