Happy St. Patty's day everyone! 

We had our corned beef last week in the form of reuben sandwichs.

I cooked my corned beef in the oven for 9 hrs at 200 degrees.  When I sampled it, it was rather tasteless.  I don't know if it was my method or the fact that you can't buy a decent corned beef down south.  I put in a good dark beer with the liquid and added extra pickling spices.  Perhaps it will become more flavorful when I get hungry.  Next year I'll do lamb.

I am not wearing any green, nor drinking any, but I may go get some onions, and tomato plants for the garden.
They are green (in more than one way).
And I will probably drink some beer later.

[LizStreithorst]

Onions are good to plant now.  You have to wait until the soil warms up more to plant tomatos.    Beer is good any time.

Did you have it covered with water/liquid ??....they do need to simmer....

[LizStreithorst]

Yes totally covered with liquid.  Not everything I make turns out to my satisfaction.

No liquid on the Corned beef. You take the brisket and you seal it on all sides in the fry pan slightly.Not a hard seal just a bit of a browning to keep in the salts. Put in a half bottle of Harp Ale in the bottom and put on the cover. Cook til tender then let it sit until room temperature. You have to find the grain and cut across it just right to keep it from being chewy. I make a nice stew from lamb shoulder. Brisket is for the Yanks Grams would say.
