Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in an oven-proof skillet over medium heat; stir in corn and tarragon and cook, stirring occasionally, until corn begins to brown, about 5 minutes.
• Place skillet with corn in the preheated oven; roast, stirring every 5 minutes, until lightly browned but not dry, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• 1. Shuck the corn and use a paring knife to strip the kernels into a bowl. Put the cobs in a pot with 4 cups water; bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes.
• 2. Meanwhile, put the butter or oil in a saucepan and turn the heat to medium-high. When the butter melts or the oil is hot, add the onion and potatoes, along with a sprinkling of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens, about 5 minutes; add the tomatoes if you're using them and cook, stirring, for another minute or two.
• 3. After the corn cobs have cooked for at least 10 minutes, strain the liquid into the onion-potato mixture. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat down so the mixture simmers. When the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes, add the corn kernels and milk and heat through. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, garnish with the parsley, and serve.
• Keys To Success
• STRIP THE KERNELS from the cob with a sharp knife, and make sure to catch any liquid that seeps out during the process.
• TO MINIMIZE COOKING TIME, chop the potatoes into 1/4-inch pieces. Leave them larger if you're not in a hurry.
• AS LONG AS your corn is young and tender, the kind you can just about eat raw, the kernels should be held out of the mix until the chowder is just about ready, so they don't overcook. But the new supersweet hybrids, which retain much of their flavor in the refrigerator for a few days, are not as tender, and their kernels should be cooked for a few minutes at least. Just keep tasting and stop cooking when the texture seems right.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, saute the celery, onion and jalapeno in butter until vegetables are tender. Stir in flour until blended; gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10 minutes or until heated through.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine baking mix, sugar, baking powder and cornmeal. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk and melted butter until creamy. Stir in flour mixture until blended. Fold in frozen corn if using. Pour batter into prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean. Serve warm.

Steps:

• ------------Selecting the corned beef brisket------------.
• Go to the store several days ahead of time or you will have to pick out the best of what has been picked over again and again. The best will disappear first.
• Do not freeze.
• Pick out a nice thick slab checking the sides to make sure it isn't a very gristly one.
• Feel it because some butchers fold it over hiding the gristle if there is a lot of it.
• There will always be some gristle and it runs the length of the slab in the center.
• The thicker the slab the better. If you are lucky, you may see some chunk style at a higher price per pound.
• If there isn't a spice bag in with the brisket, you will need to get some whole peppercorns (white and black) and bay leaves.
• ------------Selecting the Cabbage-------------------.
• The heavier and more solid it is, the better it is.
• Smell it to make sure it isn't too bitter.
• You may have to go to another store if the whole batch has a very strong bitter smell. I have had to visit several stores to find a decent batch.
• Keep in mind that the outer leaves will be discarded even if the store has already removed the natural outer leaves to make them look better and fresher.
• --------------Selecting the Potatoes----------------.
• Watch out for the red dyed ones.
• Pick out a bag of medium to small sized ones.
• The smaller the better.
• If you are lucky enough to find the ones as small as salad tomatoes, they are the best.
• -------------Selecting the Carrots----------.
• Get the smallest bag they have unless you like carrots, because you will only use one per pot of cabbage to take any bitterness out of the cabbage.
• Serving a bowl of carrots is a big no no on Saint Patrick's Day.
• Preparing and cooking the meal-----------------------.
• (It's going to take 3 hours with you there).
• Use a large Dutch oven or stock pot that will hold everything all at once.
• Place the brisket (best side up) in the bottom of the pot.
• There's no need to rinse it because nothing bad will survive what you are about to do to it and you will remove the outer marinate.
• Add the spice packet or a teaspoonful of peppercorns and two bay leaves.
• Cover the brisket generously with water and a bottle of beer (optional - adds flavor and is a tenderizer).
• Bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 2 hours.
• During the 2 hours------------------------.
• Scrub and rinse the new red potatoes.
• Remove any eyes and bad spots.
• Leave as much of the peel as you can.
• Quarter them (halve or whole if tiny).
• Cover with water until ready for them.
• Remove the outer leaves from the cabbage until the leaves are entirely light green, rinse and cut it into quarters through the spine so they stay together. Set aside.
• Peel one carrot and cut it into quarters. Set aside.
• Peel the onion and cut it into eighths. Set aside.
• Rinse the bunch of fresh parsley and chop up just the tops into very tiny pieces.
• I find that kitchen scissors do just fine.
• After the 2 hours----------------------.
• Add the potatoes on top of the brisket.
• Add water to cover everything.
• Bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Add the cabbage on top of the potatoes and add onion and carrot on top of the cabbage.
• Add water to cover everything.
• Bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
• Check the cabbage to see if it is tender.
• If not, simmer another 5 minutes. You shouldn't undercook it and it's hard to overcook it.
• When done-----------------------.
• In a large serving bowl where you can stir the potatoes, crush the garlic clove and rub the inside of the bowl with it.
• Place the potatoes in the bowl while still piping hot and add (at least) a quarter pound of butter and add a handful (more is better than less) of chopped fresh parsley.
• Gently stir until butter is melted, it coats all the potato pieces and the parsley is evenly distributed.
• Put the rest of the parsley into a tiny serving bowl for those who want to add more to their potatoes.
• As I said, more is better.
• Slice the brisket cross grain.
• Hope there is leftovers for breakfast.
• See my March 18th Breakfast! It's a family tradition. We make sure we make enough to ensure leftovers for breakfast the next morning. Finely chopped fried corned beef and cabbage (the entire meal) and coffee is divine. We throw in any leftover parsley.
