3384. thoughtful - 12/1/2005 7:47:11 PM Made corned beef and cabbage in the crockpot yesterday. I never tried that before and it was very easy and came out good, though different somehow. Though I used all the same stuff as usual, it had a different flavor. Don't know if it was the corned beef or the process. But the meat was tender and juicy but didn't fall apart. The veggies were not under done or over done.
Carrots and celery on the bottom of the pot
corned beef on top
add 2 c water with bay leaf, pepper corns, cloves, rosemary, garlic, green pepper and onion. Cook for 1/2 the time (6 hrs on low, 3 hrs on high) add wedges from 1/2 a cabbage and finish cooking.
If you want to boil potatoes and the rest of the cabbage, you can do it separately on the stove top. 3385. ronski - 12/1/2005 11:29:26 PM Nice pictures Pelle. I am quite the snow-lover. We had snow last week. I'll post pix later. 3386. Ronski - 12/2/2005 2:49:38 AM 
The deck. Those pots held coleus in the front, tomatoes in the back.

The view from the deck.

Some winterberry down the road apiece.

Cold kitty.

Cold kitty two.

Struggling viola.

All he has now is his memories of a glorious hallowe'en.

The Indian Corn was protected under the eaves.

Inside, the Christmas cactus bloomed early.

Hunter Mountain ski area, last Friday, near closing time. The run on the left wasn't open yet (and it's a steep mother); the cuts on the rights are lift lines. I like the sky, with sun through snowmaking.

Saugerties, New York, last Friday afternoon.
3398. thoughtful - 12/2/2005 3:46:02 PM Nice shots ronski. 3399. judithathome - 12/2/2005 11:32:33 PM Very nice shots, I agree! 3400. PelleNilsson - 12/6/2005 2:50:46 PM Yes, nice Ronski.
The hoped-for skiing during the weekend failed to materialize. The weather turned mild, the promised snow turned into rain. It is raining now, too. A cold, thoroughly unpleasant drizzle. Be glad you are not here. 3401. thoughtful - 12/8/2005 6:19:11 PM Haven't nailed down the details yet, but this year's xmas table will be winter-inspired. Ice blue table cloth, all white china, clear crystal glassware, white candles, silver flatware and candlesticks. I have a dinner party planned in january as well so it will do double duty. 3402. judithathome - 12/8/2005 9:35:47 PM Sounds wonderful, Thoughtful!
I just baked a French Vanilla cake and the layers have raspberry preserves between them and I'm waiting to frost it with dark chocolate icing. It's a surprise for Keoni for the anniversary of the day we met. Pearl Harbor day! The surprise is because that was yesterday.... 3403.
