oh, one more thing
We're having 2-3 friends over next weekend for a small St. Patty's Day event and I did a little shopping. I wanted to serve the traditional corned beef and cabbage, but sadly acceptable corned beef is nowhere to be found around here. I need advice as to what I should serve with all this:

I'm surprised Jim hasn't posted a comment yet. You'll need whipping cream and a little sugar... Oh..you wanted advice about a meal.??? You can do a lot with potatoes. Love,MPM
I made a Guinness stew last night that was pretty good, so I think I'll serve that with some mashed potatoes. Maybe Guinness-battered onion rings too.
Don't know what to do about greens, but then again they are "the silent killer."
....you can always bring those recipes back to Portland with you! Love, MPM
You can do a pretty good job of getting the flavor of corned beef from a spice mixture. Here is a simple recipe:
1 tsp dried ginger
1 T mustard seeds
2 tsp allspice
2 T whole black peppercorns
1 tsp whole cloves
1 tsp dill seeds
2 T coriander seeds
2 t mace
8 bay leaves
Use what you have on hand or can easily find. Nothing is crucial except for the coriander seeds and the peppercorns. Don't overdo the cloves or the dill.
