Smokin' Pete made some super delicious looking corned beef he just posted: http://www.letstalkbbq.com/index.php?topic=18833.0;topicseen
What a coincidence!! We too were craving a nice low key comfort food of corned beef and cabbage just this very weekend! Great minds, eh?
Weeeellllll...... Last week when we went grocery shopping, I didn't supervise James when I asked him to grab a few things for the cart.
So when the time came to get the corned beef set up for the crock pot, I realized he'd gotten PURPLE cabbage instead of the usual green. D'oh!
Well, I'd be darned if I was going to go back to the store for just one thing, so I said bugger it, we'll just do it with the purple. How bad can it be?
Several hours later came up from working in the barn to this: ??? ??? ???

This had to be by far the ugliest meal I have ever cooked!!

Sounds like what happens when the wife picks up a few things for me....
-
It would taste great anyway - and I am certain that if Ray Charles or Stevie Wonder were judging it..they would declare it beautiful! ;D

:D Funny story! :D
Sometimes you just gotta do things yourself! :D
And I agree with Tim!
-
Funny Kat but I did the same thing a while back, had blue cabbage!!! Forgot you need to cook it with some acid! My remedy is only cook green cabbage! :) Don

This could only be more fun if you'd put some of those blue potatoes in it!

After thinking about it ( yes...it is one of my "strengths" that I think AFTER I comment.... :D :D :D ) I think it would make a great Irish Halloween dish! You could use the color in your favor that way...A new recipe! Seasonal favorite!
Gotta know how to spin it! ;) :D :D :D
-
Now that's funny. The first thing I saw was Tms comment, then I scrolled up and saw the picture.... "What the heck????" Then I read your post.... Too funny
I think Tims on to something with the halloween theme though....

Looks like you could dye a shirt in that pot :P
Well at least he brought home a "cabbage" :D

Some folks would call that borscht ;D

LOL you all are the best!! I'll have to work on my 'spin' next time I mangle a meal! :) hehehe
I can see it now:
James: What in the name of all things holy is this?
Me: It's for Halloween. Try some.
James: But what... It looks like...
Me: No, really, it's a special holiday recipe, you'll like it.
James: ..............
Me: IT'S FESTIVE, DANGIT!!! QUIT THE YAPPING AND EAT YOUR HALLOWEEN IRISH BORSCHT!!! There are starving boys and ghouls that would be thankful for it!!! snicker snicker snicker

I have a mystery meal every once in a while, with mystery meat..he's always scared, just sayin .☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི♥ྀ.
