Saint Patrick's Day

I always thought corned beef was a mysterious meat created in back rooms with special ingredients. Or maybe it came from some unknown beast. I also wondered why it didn't taste more like corn. You'd think a farm girl like myself would have had a better understanding of what corned beef was, but I didn't. A couple years ago I found out how to make it and was astonished at the simplicity of it. And how utterly delicious homemade corned beef is! How come more people don't make it if its that easy and good I asked myself? Beats me. Here is the recipe I use to make corned beef, I adapted it from one by David Liebovitz.
