National Chip and Dip Day

Did you make corned beef this week?  This one from Costco was delicious, just the right amount of roasted, melted fat on top. I cooked it slowly in the oven for about five hours.

Not exactly healthy, but hey, St. Paddy's only comes once a year.  Fortunately, the temptation to nibble is gone now, although I stashed a small piece in the freezer to make corned beef hash and eggs for a special weekend breakfast.

Today is National Chip and Dip Day.  Chips and dips first became popular in the 50's, and every hostess-with-the-mostest had one of these sets hogging space in the cupboard.

That reminds me of a hilarious cooking blog called Mid-Century Menu.  The lady cooks these crazy vintage recipes she finds in old cookbooks, and then makes her long-suffering husband critique them.

In honor of Chip and Dip Day, here's a Corned Beef Spread Recipe (made with canned corned beef, of course) and the hub's reaction.
