Samuel UCC St. Patrick's Corned Beef Dinner returns March 4, 2023

After a three year absence, we are happy to announce the Samuel United Church of Christ St. Patrick's corned beef dinner is back for 2023. We will be having our dinner this year on Saturday, March 4, from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm.



The menu will consist of premium corned beef from Kern Meat Company, along with assorted side dishes (typically in the past it has been cabbage, potatoes, carrots and Irish soda bread.) The meal also includes beverages and our homemade dessert bar of treats created by friend and members of Samuel UCC. 

Neither Samuel UCC or Kern Meat will keep any of the donations, 100% will go to the local St. Louis chapter of Habitat for Humanity to provide affordable homes for local families. Samuel is donating the space, beverages, desserts and labor and Kern Meat is providing the food for the meal and their guidance in preparing the meal to their restaurant level standards.

Here is an interesting article from St. Louis Magazine in 2019 about corned beef in St. Louis featuring Matt Sherman from Kern Meat. It includes a recipe to make corned beef, but it is a lot easier just coming to our dinner!

The church is located at 320 North Forsyth Blvd in Clayton (between Maryland and Delmar) with plenty of street parking available. You can dine in our fellowship hall in the lower level, or take your meals and desserts with you to enjoy at home. Payment can be made online in advance, or by cash, check or credit card at the door. For more information your can visit our website or you can call us at (314) 727-9540.


UPDATE: We ended up feeding over 200 meals and made over $10,000 to send to Habitat. With the help up of over 60 people we made a difference to the lives of many area families who otherwise would not have safe, affordable housing.


Location: 320 N Forsyth Blvd, Clayton, MO 63105, USA

Trying out the L'Ecole Culinaire Presentation Room restaurant

Image
We had been seeing the ads for the restaurant at L'Ecole Culinaire and since we live so close by we thought we would try it out. We had always enjoyed dining out at cooking or hotel schools like the CHIC in Chicago and the Statler at Cornell where we went to college. Since we still love to go out and eat here in St. Louis , we ventured over to their restaurant on the first day they were open for lunch. The first thing we noticed is that they do not have much parking! They really need to let patrons know where they are supposed to park. The restaurant itself is small but very well attended. There was one fellow who kept straightening all the centerpieces and place settings on the tables, and we always saw one or two student workers milling about. The lunch menu was small and the choices did not appear overly "gourmet". The special of the day was a bison burger stuffed with cheese, and other choices picked by my group included a club sandwich, a "margherita" pi...

BMI & BMR Calculator (Body Mass Index and Basal Metabolic Rate)

Image
My wife has been researching type 2 diabetes and recently checked a book out of the library which included a body mass index (BMI) chart much like the one pictured here. Whereas it is fairly easy to follow, I, of course, think it must be converted to an online calculator! However, when I checked the Internet, there were already a billion of them so I had to make one that was different. So my lovely BMI BMR calculator accepts either inches or centimeters for your height and pounds or kilograms for your weight and calculates not only your BMI, but also your BMR (basal metabolic rate) which determines how many calories you should consume! So I made a spiffy "all in one" healthy body indicator calculator which not only determines how underweight or overweight you are, but also tells you how many calories you should consume to maintain or improve your ideal weight.

Not all Frosted Window Films are the same!

Image
We live in an older home with a lot of issues and one of them concerns our back door to our patio from our sunroom. The door has double paned glass on it, but unfortunately the seal has broken so you can see moisture collect inside of it. We decided the easiest way to "remedy" the problem was to cover the window with some "frosted" film so we did not have to see the moisture condensing between the panes. But the question was, what film? There are a bunch of them available so we had to select something to try on the door. The first place we tried was our nearby Lowe's store which had a bunch of Gila brand film. We selected what seemed like the typical adhesive based door sized  film that cost about $25 after tax. We thought it could not be that hard to put up and look nice on our door. So one day my wife ran out and purchased it at Lowe's and we commenced to install it on our door window. We made our own soapy water solution and followed the directions...
