Traditional Irish Dinner
Corned beef brisket served with a dab of horseradish sauce along with red potatoes, baby carrots and cabbage. We had this dinner last Sunday and today we had left over corned-beef sandwiches for lunch.

Super Sunday
Verna and I prepared our Superbowl Sunday meal yesterday - we decided on pulled pork sandwiches served with blue cheese broccoli slaw and a dill pickle, a traditional Memphis pit BBQ meal.
I started the picnic roast (pork shoulder) in the crockpot early yesterday morning, throwing in some pepper, fruit juices, chopped onion and garlic cloves. We let it cook all day. When I pulled the pork it was literally falling off of the bone. I used a couple of forks to shred the meat and separate the lean stuff away from the fat.
Verna came up with a wonderful home made barbecue sauce with that tart southern cooked taste. She placed a scoop of the shredded pork on a bun and topped it with the sauce. It was the best.
We chowed down during the pregame show and took our after dinner walk at halftime. It was a great meal, a good football game and an all around great day - really a Super Sunday.
New England Style Sunday Dinner
This is the special meal we enjoyed just before sitting down to watch the NFL Pro Bowl football game: corned beef, cabbage, boiled red potatoes and carrots. Tasty and nutritious. Click image for a close up.
