Charming Idea: Glass Pencils

This unique glass-writing pencil from French company L’Atelier du Vin writes on any glass surface, from fine crystal to wine bottles. The large surface area on the Appelation Decanter in particular allows for plenty of space to write information about the wine being served.  It can be easily removed when wiped with a damp cloth. – THE WIFE

Saint Patrick’s Day Dinner: Homestyle Corned Beef with Honey Mustard Glaze

I came across this recipe last year when my mom passed it along to me. I’ve  only known to make Corned Beef in a Crock Pot slow cooker. But with this recipe the meat is cooked in a dutch oven, then broiled and the honey mustard glaze makes it so much more delectable. It’s become a Saint Patty’s Day tradition in my home. Recipe Serves 6 people. – THE WIFE

Ingredients:

  • 1 (3 pound) boneless corned beef brisket
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place corned beef brisket and 2 cups water in Dutch oven and bring just to a simmer on the stovetop over medium-high heat; do not boil. Cover tightly and cook in oven 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 hours or until fork-tender.
  2. Remove brisket from water; trim fat. Place on rack in broiler pan so surface of beef is 3 to 4 inches from heat. Combine honey and 1 tablespoon mustard. Brush top of brisket with 1/2 of glaze; broil 3 minutes. Brush with remaining glaze; broil 2 minutes or until glazed.
  3. Carve brisket diagonally across the grain. Serve with cabbage and potatoes. -Safeway.Com
