We are having company over at 1:00 PM.  We love having company come join in on celebrations.  I always wanted a lot of friends and I now have my wish! We have been cooking since early in the morning as we have seven pounds of corned beef.   Since I am watching what I eat, I decided eight ounces is all I get at a setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2019\/03\/CornedBeef.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"861\" height=\"557\" src=\"http:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2019\/03\/CornedBeef.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-36400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2019\/03\/CornedBeef.jpg 861w, https:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2019\/03\/CornedBeef-150x97.jpg 150w, https:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2019\/03\/CornedBeef-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2019\/03\/CornedBeef-768x497.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2019\/03\/CornedBeef-450x291.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 861px) 100vw, 861px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Sliced corned beef with cabbage on a cutting board<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Corned beef isn&#8217;t exactly a healthy choice for dinner. Let&#8217;s just say you should save it for St. Patrick&#8217;s Day only. And even then you might want to balance it with a healthy dose of Guinness. Although it contains good amounts of vitamin B12 and zinc, corned beef is high in cholesterol, saturated fat, and sodium.  Maybe that&#8217;s why I like it so much!  With A-1 sauce and spicy German mustard&#8230;wonderful!  My bride is the greatest cook ever!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While cooking with my bride, we tele-called Jon, Colleen, Lisa, Amy and Robin!  We are the only ones doing corned beef?  While listening to soft Irish music, the radio interrupted with a historical announcement! History in the making&#8230;AOC introduced a bill into Congress!  I shall treasure this!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"558\" height=\"395\" src=\"http:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2019\/03\/image010.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-36385\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2019\/03\/image010.jpg 558w, https:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2019\/03\/image010-150x106.jpg 150w, https:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2019\/03\/image010-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2019\/03\/image010-450x319.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 558px) 100vw, 558px\" \/><figcaption>Did better than I would have thought!
