Case in point. I was coming home from lunch with my girlfriend yesterday and I wanted to stop at the Publix on Pleasant Hill Rd to pick up a nice corned beef for New Year.
But the traffic was starting to get really bad at 3:30pm so finally I gave up and took a shortcut to the Ghetto Kroger and picked up a corned beef there. 5 minutes ago I took the corned beef out of the package to put it in the slow cooker and its just horrible. Mostly fat. $20 down the drain. There’s likely about enough meat on it for one meal for the two of us. Never again.
That’s a shame. A good cut of corned beef is so wonderful! I meant to look for one near the New Year, but we have some frigid temps, and I already had ham. So forgot I wanted to look for a good corned beef. If I get a good cut, I can make 3 amazing meals from that one. Tomorrow I will venture out! Maybe there will be a few of them left!
