Every year, Alison and I torture TJ with endless blogs about corned beef, water weight, and the like during St. Patty's season. After all, we are ever true to our Irish roots, and we both LOVE a good corned beef dinner.
Last night, I could wait no longer, and Darcy made my first corned beef dinner of the season. Truly, it should probably be the only one I have, since it's SO high in fat and salt. I don't eat much, but even the bit I ate had me up 4 lbs of water weight today. I also ate dinner at 9PM, so I think that played a role in the gain as well.
I'd like to say the water weight will be gone tomorrow, but I have a feeling I'll have some more for dinner tonight, so we shall see what happens. I wish I didn't love this block of salty fat, but I just do.
I will have to make sure to freeze the rest of it that I don't finish by Thursday because I need to make sure the weight is gone by my weigh in on Tuesday!

I just threw up in my mouth.
I am not sure why you bother cooking that dinner. Couldn't you just get a salt lick and some watered down grass and pretend.
Cornbeef...even the name is gross
The name is delightful, what's better than corn and beef?
It's not like it's called brains or liver!
