surf and turf

Nearly everything is packed up for moving so no pictures and everything was off paper plates. We had crab legs and asparagus baked in the oven, steak and corn on the grill, boiled new potatoes, fried hush puppies and melon wrapped in proscuito and mint leaf. Asparagus served with a sauce made with butter soy sauce and balsamic vinegar. We had french bread made into garlic bread too.

St. Patricks Day

We had the usual for the day: Corned beef, oven potatoes O'Brien- thanks Beth- carrots, cabbage and Soda Bread with Irish Whiskey Butter and Jillians Horseradish cream sauce.

No pictures. It was paper plates and eat between the packing on the table.

Irish Whiskey Butter

This is pretty much perfect with Irish whiskey soda bread. And Irish whiskey.

• 1 tbsp sugar

• 9 tbsp butter, softened

• 3 tbsp whiskey

1. Heat the whiskey and sugar in a pan until hot then stir in the butter until melted and fully combined. Allow to cool.

PS works better if you beat the liquid into soften butter rather than melting it.  Put on wax paper and roll it up then seal the ends.  Chill until solid

Horseradish cream sauce  2cups. can be halved

3/4 C. whipping cream whipped to soft peaks

1/2 C. Mayo

1/2 C. horseradish, drained

2 Tbsp Dijon mustard

pinch of sugar

Salt and Pepper

mix ingredients and fold into whipped cream.
