That sounds like a good plan. No cooking, no mess to clean up!
Local is ALWAYS the best...
If we celebrate every battle the French lost we’d be happy all year long.
A bottle of Jameson should do the trick. I don’t want to make a big meal and have a bunch of leftovers.
It seem my local Wal*Mart has corned beef on sale for less than $5.
It's about 2.57 pounds on sale for $5.
Corned beef normally here is $20 or higher.
I do believe I will have to get me several for future meals.
That's kinda hard to pass up.
Lord have mercy I will have to make room in my chest freezer again.
Cherry pie filling to can up is in my future.

While corned beef can be higher priced other times of the year, like most things, the sales the week before are usually great. Isn't it the same with turkeys at Thanksgiving and ham at Christmas and Easter?
Had my rubin from a deli yesterday. Then last night a daughter and granddaughter i have not seen in six years came for the weekend with corned beef bag of potatoes and cabbage. She has it cooking now. Looks like other 3 kidos are grandkids are coming for dinner .Big surprise.

I couldn't find a video of him making a Rueben but this is from Pioneer Woman's site. I did buy a loaf of rye bread, some Swiss cheese, and all the other ingredients for making Rueben sandwiches a couple months ago. I need to find some rye bread to make sandwiches next week.The short video says the 4 leaf clover represents the holy trinity and rebirth.... I guess that was an important part of the combination at that time...
It has been about 10(?) years since I've had a good proper corned beef dinner.. Looking forward to it..
Weedy... Alton makes one impressive sandwich...
I was going to post the Pioneer Woman's recipe but the formatting is difficult to copy and paste. I'll do one that has better formatting.

The Reuben sandwich is a diner classic: It's a glorious medley of corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and Russian dressing on rye bread—the whole is truly greater than the sum of its parts! A good Reuben sandwich with a side of pickles and potato chips is the ultimate comfort food, plus it's a great way to use up leftover corned beef from a meal of traditional Irish foods on St. Patrick's Day.
So where did this bit of culinary perfection originate? The history has actually been debated for years! While many believe this delicious sandwich has Irish or German roots, its origin lies a little closer to home. Most signs point to a poker game at the Blackstone Hotel in the 1920s in Omaha, Nebraska, where a man by the name of Bernard Schimmel, who oversaw the kitchen, is believed to have assembled this hot-pressed sandwich—corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut and Russian dressing on rye—for a player by the name of Reuben Kulakofsky, who loved it. Kulakofsky's family maintains that Schimmel merely brought down a deli platter to the game, before Reuben himself assembled the beloved sandwich, but Schimmel's family has cleverly raised the question of why a panini maker would be present at that fabled poker game. The rest, as they say, is hotly contested history.
What's on a classic Reuben sandwich?
It's a pretty simple formula: You just build a sandwich on rye bread with corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and Russian dressing, then cook it in a skillet or on a griddle like a grilled cheese sandwich.
Is a Reuben sandwich made with pastrami or corned beef?
A classic Reuben sandwich is made with corned beef—not to be confused with pastrami. So, pastrami vs. corned beef: what's difference? Both kinds of meat are cured, but pastrami is then coated with a flavorful spice rub and smoked.
Why is my Reuben sandwich soggy?
The culprit is most likely the sauerkraut. Be sure to drain off as much liquid as possible from the sauerkraut before piling it onto your Reuben sandwich to prevent any sogginess. It's also best to serve Reubens soon after griddling to keep the toasted bread nice and crisp.
What can I use instead of Swiss cheese on a Reuben sandwich?
Swiss is classic, but if you're not a fan or just want to use what's already in your refrigerator, mild, melty cheeses like provolone or mozzarella are tasty swaps.

From what I have seen, the corned beef is typically sliced fairly thin for sandwiches.

Reuben Sandwich
A Reuben sandwich is one of my family's fix-it-quick favorites. They are really delicious and easy to make. I like to serve them with big bowls of steaming vegetable soup and dill pickles on the side.

Most Wal*Mart's start marking down Turkeys a day after Thanksgiving.
Same with hams after Christmas.
I had purchased 2 hams after Christmas for less than $15 together.
But before Christmas that would have been the cost of 1.
Yesterday, they had brought hams to fill the empty bunkers.
But still had empty gaps in the bunkers.
Hope to pick up several more hams after Easter.
Lamb will be popular for Easter too.
Well, I spent 4 hours in the kitchen this morning! Was sipping a little Baileys while cooking ...
The Shepherds Pie is completely assembled and in the baking dish - ready to bake, and my cupcakes are cooked and frosted - never made them before - but they have Baileys in the frosting!!). I cheated a bit with the veggies in the Shepherds Pie - used mixed veggies, which included green beans - hope it's not a sacrilege!! There's 21 freakin ingredients in it!!!
Also washed, dried, and put away all the pots, pans, and dishes I used along the way. Now I'm exhausted.
It had better taste amazing!!

We're having baby back pork ribs in the crockpot. But I'll make coleslaw, and that's cabbage. No Irish in me at all.

Today I’ll be making corned beef and colcannon.

When the kids were here I usually made corned beef and cabbage or potatoes or both. Today hubs will make mac and cheese (homemade). We have gone pretty simple since the kids left. Empty nest can be difficult to adjust to, but it's also simply nice if your mate is your best friend.
I'll just cut and paste the recipe for Shepherd's Pie. Enjoy!!
