Nope, no corned beef & cabbage for Saint Patrick's Day.

I mentioned cooking lamb chops a few days ago. I didn't say I was going
to cook them immediately. Heh.

I cooked these bone-in shoulder chops on the stovetop tonight on my
grill pan. I brushed them with olive oil, sprinkled with S&P and a
little bit of dried crushed rosemary. Also a little bit of garlic powder.

Cooked to medium rare. The meat is so very tender it's amazing.

The crushed dried rosemary sprinkled on did not overwhelm the taste of
the lamb. Used sparingly, rosemary can be nice.

I've got lots of frozen vegetables. Baby peas, green beans, yellow
squash, lima beans, cauliflower florets, broccoli florets, spinach.

I'm not sure what veggie or legumes I'll cook to eat with the tasty
tender lamb chops. Delicious!

Looks good. We didn't do the Irish thing either. My wife, who is the
braising queen, did beer braised ox tails. They were incredible.

Since St. Patrick was from Wales, perhaps laverbread would have been
more appropriate:-)

and we could listen to mellifluous Welsh choirs instead of effing
banshee music played by dancing fiddle players.

It's a silly American tradition for people to cook corned beef brisket.
Cabbage, maybe but I love cabbage. Don't know much about the actual guy
who was called Saint Patrick.

We went traditional. Its the only day we feel we can afford corned beef.
I would have had more cabbage than what was in the fridge, but the stores
didnt have any yesterday. Is this corned beef and cabbage or a boiled
New England dinner?
Oh, yeah. Thats a serving plate, not a dinner plate

Looks like you got some all-natural, no nitrates, kind of thing going there.. I like my corned beef with extra nitrates. We're having corned beef too but it's the corned beef for the modern age. It's not a brisket but a corned bottom round. My guess is that it's going to be rather sub-standard. Had I actually read the package in the store, I would have passed. It's in the slow cooker at the moment but I may glaze it and toss it in the toaster oven..

It looks technically edible.

Technically edible is my favorite kind of food. I've been a big fan for quite a while. My guess is that people in the future will mostly be eating food that is technically edible.

I think that in the future, they'll make plant based steaks, briskets,
buttholes, sirloins and whatever animal parts meat eaters like to
consume, that are so good that the carnivores will be salivating at
the mere sight of them.

He supposedly banished all the snakes in Ireland, I know that much.
However it would seem unlikely they had much of a problem.

That's just one of the St. Patrick myths.

What he mainly did was convert people to Christianity.

No doubt, those were tasty. I love lamb.

Wrong address for hostpic.
You used the first one, "Link for viewing the photo"
That shows a lot of unnecessary stuff.

Use the 2nd one, "Link directly to your photo" instead.

Oh, so sorry! My first time using hostpic. I did also post a link from
postimages.org. The only reason I was trying hostpic is sometimes
postimages displays ads for "hot babes" that AdBlock can't seem to knock
out.

You were able to see the lamb chops via the hostpic link, right? I
didn't choose direct link because it seemed that would give them access
to my hard drive where the photo (and other things) reside.

One moment they were upstanding citizens and the next moment they were
Christians!
