Tip-sy Tuesday: A Recent Comment...

Today's 'Tip-sy Tuesday' post isn't a tip, it's more of a funny story post that I want to share and hopefully you'll also get a kick out of this!

I received an anonymous comment the other day on a post I wrote about 'how to reheat corned beef'. Here is the entire post for reference: 

Instead of cooking corned beef the day we're eating it, I make it ahead of time and reheat before serving.

Last year I made 3 corned beef roasts in my crockpot(s) the day before St. Patrick's Day - I like to cook them ahead of time so they can chill in the fridge, the fat hardens and I can skim off a lot of it. I always get comments about how lean my corned beef is, everyone loves it and really it doesn't take much to remove most of the fat. Normally to reheat it before serving I put it in my Dutch oven in some broth and warm it back up on low heat on the stove top, remove the meat from the juice, and slice to serve. This time I Googled other ways, possibly better ways, to reheat it and found many different versions all proclaiming the best way. I picked this one because it seemed like it should work and let me tell you - it was great! I'll go so far as to say the best hahah. 

I read that it's easier to slice corned beef cold, so that's what I did before reheating it. Cut into about 1/2" slices, put in a baking dish, add a few tablespoons of water and cover the dish with foil. Warm the corned beef in a 275' oven for 45 minutes. 

So good!!

The comment is "Can’t I just get how to reheat corn beef without all the history and hoopla."

I'm very sorry to say this made me laugh out loud. Literally. Is it a joke - someone I know teasing me? Or an actual disgruntled blog post reader? Hahahahha - do they get that it's actually quite a short post for me - I know I usually blab on and on but it's my blog and I can do that LOL. 

Right or wrong I responded: hahahah - am I being teased by one of my friends? This has Cathy written all over it! I do tend to ramble, it's true. But to your question - yes, you absolutely could have gotten instructions faster than reading my post by Googling it and AI will tell you just the facts :) I definitely could keep my blogs hoopla-less but I'd bore myself not telling stories and not sure my peeps would bother reading LOL. Hope you read other posts at "Make My Day Camp" and are more entertained!
