St. Patricks Day, Corned Beef, & Brownies…Oh My!

I’m really into celebrating holidays so I decided I’d give the ol’ corned beef a try this year and if you are not aware I am no Food Network star meaning I can’t cook very well.  I got everything together at 5am, took me something like 40 minutes (had to make coffee too) and put it all in the crock pot on low.  Got home and as you can see my “plating” could use some work but I had forgotten how fatty corned beef is.  Long story short the potatoes were actually edible, the carrots a little over cooked, and the corned beef was just nasty because it was all fatty.  It was fun trying and I thought you all would get a good laugh at this one!  After my week’s worth of saturated fat in one meal I made 3 pans of brownies for a department pot luck.  I made 2 pans for the department and one pan for myself and others.  I am pleased to announce that people ate the brownies and there are no reported casualties at this time.
