I only had 2 dogs and the phone only rang for appointments tomorrow and Sat.  So I made an early getaway and put my corned beef on ;D  In the past my supermarket has only carried the flat cut corned beef brisket.  This time they had the point cut as well.  I didn't know the difference until I did a bit of research and found out that the flat cut contains little fat.  I bet that's why I've found my corned beef tough and flavorless in the past.  This time I'm using the point cut.  I'm a skinny little thing.  To me fat is not the embodiment of evil, it is a good thing ;D

I'm making it with beer rather than water and cooking it low and slow in the oven rather than simmering it on the stove top.  I found this recipe.  It had better be good because it will be between 4 and 6  hrs before it's ready.  I'll be on the verge of starvation!

5 more minutes before I flip it in the pot and put it back to cook for another 2 to 4 hrs ???  I have fish room work to do.  When I work I don't think about food.  I am strong.  I can survive another several hours without food.

A local saloon is having corned beef with the fixings for $7.95. All you can eat. I don't drink, but I do eat. I still need to pack a bunch of food for the swap, but I'm allowed a lunch break. . .

I started with the reubens for last night's dinner and had another one for lunch today.  Got my corned beef at the local IGA sliced thin.  It's Kretschmar brand, melts in your mouth.....

Well, well, well...I have finally figured out how to cook a corned beef to perfection.  I hoped but I didn't know until I tasted.  Even the veggies were perfect.  The cabbage wasn't a soggy mess.  It tasted fresh and delicious.
