Of Chicks and Men...
"The best laid schemes of mice and men, often go awry." - John Steinbeck
And so it seems my carefully laid out plans for our poultry flock have been tossed out the window. But, I am not upset. It might be for the best.

When life gives you corned beef make Reubens!
I LOVE corned beef. It's so easy to make and it's delicious in so many ways. This year for St. Patrick's day I made 7.5 lbs worth of the stuff.
I had plenty of leftovers which was my intent. I wasn't feeling up to going to the store yesterday so I made Reuben tacos with homemade Thousand Island dressing.
For the corned beef I buy the premade stuff. I get the square cut and not the triangle if I can help it. The squares are less fatty and easier to slice.
The tacos and Thousand Island were borne of necessity and/or laziness. Whatever you want to call it. I didn't want to go to the store so I found a recipe that would incorporate what I have on hand.
