Ok, unimpressed with our corned beef and cabbage meal. First problem, DH bought New England gray corned beef instead of the red (my mother definitely rolled over in her grave over this). Second problem, in order to cook the cabbage, the corned beef had to come out, so I felt like the meat was dry and the cabbage was over cooked. Potatoes were fine. DH started taking notes on what to do for next year and I said maybe I should just do it on the stove.
