1) corned beef brisket - buy the packaged corned beef kit. Get O'Gallagher brand. Put the beef in crockpot and rub spices into meat. Pour ½ cup water in. Cook on low setting all day. During the last hour of cooking, prepare the rest of the meal. The corned beef can also be baked in the oven, following package directions.
2) potatoes - quarter red potatoes into a 9 x 12 baking dish. Coat potatoes with vegetable oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. If desired, add chopped onions. Bake at 400°F until done.
3) cabbage - cut cabbage into large chunks. Steam-cook in large pot with small amount of water. When cooked (but not soggy!), drain water out. Add generous amount of butter. Season with salt and pepper.
4) soda bread - buy this from the bakery dept. Slice and butter, then oven-toast.

Irish Blessing...
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
May the wind always be at your back.
