14. The mashed potatoes sound luscious...

I have never thought of using scallions in them...cooking those in butter until soft sounds just about perfect! I will try it when next I want some mashed taters.

I am one of those very fortunate people whose systems digests cholesterol rather than letting it collect in the arteries. I love the fat on the corned beef...(when I order steaks from the butcher, I ask them not to trim the fat!) I no longer eat every bit of it but I want it available! Disgusting to some, I know.

I live alone now, and decided not to make a corned beef today. The next time I do...I don't wait for this holiday, but make it several times a year, (4 - 6) I may try making cabbage your way. Someone else recently told me they steam their cabbage by making the CB in a slow cooker and placing the cabbage on top. That sounds like a possibility as well.

Thanks for the potatoes with scallions!

You have a great day as well!
