I love Corned Beef or Pastrami any day of the year, not just on Saint Paddy’s Day.
Although Corned Beef by itself can be a bit overwhelming to some due to its strong taste, baked in a pie it becomes wonderful! The beef is well balanced in the pie with the inclusion of eggs, cheese, sauteed vegetables, gravy, a buttery spiced crust and a small inclusion of Sherry with the corned beef after cooking and shredding.
Laura and I enjoy each others company, which is the heart of maintaining any relationship… but it is not like we haven’t had ‘growth experiences.’ These are experiences which you are told will help you grow in maturity or intellect… but frankly, you really wanted to avoid.
January 10th, we attended a seminar along with a hoard of 350 other people at Cal Poly on the art and science of ‘tree pruning.’ I had thought this would be something that we both would enjoy and we did. However, the apple tree in question is beginning to blossom and some people ( who shall remain nameless) want to claim certain rights to certain fruit bearing branches. Hmmmmm … Apple Wars?
Well, the real issue is that I love to make and bake and enjoy apple pies ( store bought just doesn’t do it for me) and Laura loves her home made apple sauce which is also quite nice… and our recently planted 2nd tree won’t be ready for a few YEARS. You can see where the problem is… someone wants to make sauce outta my apples!!!!
I am sure we’ll work it out… but it is fun ‘discussing’ the situation.
