Corned Beef Dinner for St. Patrick's Day
We make this St. Patrick's Day dinner every year with this family recipe that's been handed down through several generations. The mustard sauce is incredibly smooth and tasty — add a bit of horseradish to make it even better! If you already have a favorite corned beef recipe, you could make this sauce to serve with it.
Hot Irish Whiskey
My best friend, who just happens to be Irish, made this hot Irish whiskey drink for me one cold night in Chicago, and since then, I have been hooked! Warning: It is very potent. Just one of these will warm you up and basically make you good for nothing afterward — what a treat! It is super to drink at night if you have a sore throat. My friend said this is what the Irish drink if they don't feel good, but don't wait until you have a cold to try this recipe!
Pop's Molasses Popcorn Balls and Taffy
This recipe has been in our family for more than 100 years. My dad's mother would make and pull it on the taffy hook on her kitchen door jam. She would then sell it at the local mercantile in Alberta, Canada. As soon as fall came, my siblings and I would beg Pop to make them. We loved every minute of it, except the burnt hands from the hot syrup, that is. We knew company was coming when they heard Pop was making them. He always let me help when I got old enough. I still make these with my family. The flavor is somewhat like caramel candies. We always double this recipe so we have enough to make taffy and popcorn balls. My pop always made 2 double batches. Posting this recipe has brought back many wonderful and happy memories from my childhood. I do so in honor of my Pop (RIP 1917-1997).
