Working or Worm Hunting??

Big Dog was busy one day extending out our draining system from the shed to the far end of the back yard-we had to move our washer & new dryer out there due to the over flowing pipe in our house....We wash to many batches of clothes in one day & the pipe was having no rest to drain properly...therefore it was over topping on to my dining/kitchen floors...flooding mess!!!!

Juicy was all to curious to what his daddy was doing out there. After watching for a hour he wanted to crawl in & see what was so cool about being in a 2 foot hole...LOL

And that is where the Worm Hunting came in.....




Humm I wonder what did Big Dog & Juicy find in that hole...??



"I don't know-but, it tastes kinda yummy, squishy, & it moves"


"Yep Mommy, It's a WORM"
Juicy managed to stick it in his mouth-didn't chew down
the worm managed to squirm free before it became a snack

St. Paddy Recipe

Beef Roast and Cabbage Dinner

Recipe called for Corned Beef but, here in Cajun Country that is a hard meet to find. I used a regular Beef Roast-Everyone was very happy with the results & enjoyed their meal very much!!!


Ingredients

  • 1 (4-pound) cured corned beef brisket, trimmed
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 cups chopped onion
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 3 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
  • Salt & Pepper rubbed on beef
  • 1 (2 1/2-pound) head green cabbage, cored and cut into 1-inch strips
  • 1 (14.9 fl oz) can Guinness Stout Beer
  • 4 pounds small red potatoes, quartered
  • 1 cup chopped carrot

Preparation

Season top of beef with salt, pepper, thyme, & oregano. Rub into meat throughly.

Place beef in a large Crock Pot set on high; add chopped onion, celery to sides of beef & cover whole pot with cabbage. Add in beer & water. Cover pot & allow food to cook for 4-6 hours.

Meat will be extra tender & juicy. After beef is tender & fully cooked remove from pot.

Leaving beef stock in pot add in chopped potatoes & carrots allowing to cook for 1 hour.

Once cooking in complete-drain out potatoes & carrots place them on a baking sheet for 20 mins in oven to give light crispy brown skin.

Place beef in center of large tray, adding cabbage to one side & potatoes & carrots to other side.


*I didn't use the celery except for cooking & flavoring the beef-The taste of them after wards was just plain yuck!! BUT, the celery did give the meat a great taste!!*
