Today was a beach day! With a few layers of clothing and gloves. It was really pretty out though. This is Scusset Beach right near the Cape Cod Canal. Nice soft sand, sand dunes, no seaweed or rocks to deal with while walking. The water is cold though, even in the summer. However, I think we will spend some time there this coming summer.
That beach is beautiful. I don't blame you for wanting to be on it.
Tomorrow being St Pat's, I'll be making good old fashioned new england boiled dinner and bringing my mom over for a meal.
I pride myself on being a good cook. I am also fairly honest and will admit to failure.
I guess without realizing it I had always bought red over gray cured brisket.
Red i scured with spices, grey is effectively pickled in brine.
New England boiled dinner had cured brisket was the meat would keep longer because it was packed in the brine along with the other root cellar winter crops, potatoes carrots, turnips, cabbages.
If however you're cooking gray it is advisable to change the water after 20-30 minutes when the salt has boiled out.
I failed to do this and it was really salty. Boo-hiss shame on me, but I learned something I don't suspect I'll forget.
