Asparagus

eggs. Add a little grated cheddar or American cheese. Proceed as for
an omelet.

shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes and sour cream.
Coffee

Corned Beef
— Slice thinly with Swiss cheese and layer corned beef on rye bread
with a spreading of good mustard. Top with another slice of rye, brush
the bread with melted butter and pan-fry or griddle until the bread
is lightly toasted on both sides and the cheese melts.
— Make an open-face Reuben sandwich. Spread Russian salad dressing onto
a slice of rye bread. Layer on thinly sliced corned beef, a generous
spoonful of drained sauerkraut and a slice of Swiss cheese. Place this
under the broiler and cook until the cheese melts.
— Dice the corned beef, add to sauteed onion and potato, add chicken
broth to cover and let this reduce on top of the stove until the potato
is tender. Mash half of the potato to thicken the sauce and spoon the
sauce over toast or a poached egg on toast.
— Dice the corned beef and add to finely chopped celery, onion and red
bell pepper. Moisten this with mayonnaise, season with salt and pepper
and use as a sandwich filling or spoon into the center of a warm baked
potato.
— Sauté onions in olive oil in an oven-proof skillet. Add diced corned
beef and stir to warm through. Pour over three to four eggs that have
been beaten with a little water. Cook, lifting the omelet from the sides
with a wooden spoon or heat-proof spatula, until the omelet has cooked
halfway through. Add a handful of shredded cheese, if desired, fold
the omelet in half in the pan, flip it once, cook a minute, then slide
onto a plate and serve with your favorite salsa.
Corned beef broth
— Save the broth from a corned beef and cabbage dinner. Chop up leftover
beef, carrots, cabbage and potatoes and simmer them in the broth along
with any other vegetables you may want to use.
— Slice it very thin, then heat up in a skillet with sliced green bell
pepper, slivered onion and fajita seasoning. Serve in warmed flour tortillas
as fajitas.
