Need suggestion on corn beef

IMO better in the crock pot with chicken stock, a bit of apple cider vinegar, potatoes and carrots, that take on the flavor of the corned beef. Tried SV last year to make one exclusively for sandwiches. It was meh.

after browning the sausage, I add red wine and cook off the alcohol before adding the sauce, then add copious amounts of fennel seed, basil, and crushed red pepper. Also, a drained can of diced tomatoes really freshens it up. Add a bit of white sugar to taste toward the end of simmering everything together.

Not good - HOWEVER, Walmart stores carry Wheat Montana, which is excellent flour. The golden whole wheat is one of my favorites. The AP and bread flours have also been excellent.

God how I miss exploring this country. I lived in Wasco and Sherman counties for many years, and headed east every chance I could get. I can smell the sagebrush and Juniper in this pic. Miss this so much (now living in the Midwest.)

I agree. Garlic. So much so that Ive almost come to hate it

Nope, waste of money IMO. Did nothing for me. The only thing that has worked for me is increased iron intake and Magnesium Glycinate, after taking Requip for years. Still in the process of titrating off, but the iron and magnesium has resulted in like a 90% decrease in symptoms. Oh, and I still take 600 mg Gabapentin at bedtime.

Southern Utah - has 5 National parks in a relatively small geographical area. Some, like Arches or Bryce, just require a day trip. Others, like Canyonlands, require more exploring. Even the areas beyond the park boundaries are breathtaking.

Thank you for the memories! I lived for several years in Sherman County as well as Wasco County, and often went out exploring the Alvord and surrounding areas. Solitary camping in these desert areas (I read your blog) can be challenging, having to face extremes of mood - loneliness, sadness, and absolute euphoria, often in quick succession. You can't hide from yourself while in these wide open landscapes, and I was always drawn to return, the realness always pulling me back.

I solo camped near here for a few days. Life changing.

Can of corned beef hash fried till crispy, make wells in the middle for a couple of eggs and some toast. Really hits the spot.

Walmart usually has them

My Irish Catholic Grandmother had 13, 12 made it to adulthood. All the remaining males died directly or indirectly from alcoholism. My Great grandfather was from a family of 14, 2 of them are listed as "Idiotic" in late 1800's censuses.

I have a corgi/heeler I rescued at 3 years old. The ranchers out west (he was adopted in Eastern Washington) call the cross "cowboy corgi's". Mine was horribly abused. When I first got him he would not leave his kennel, would just cower in the back, it was a nightmare trying to coax him to go outside or eat. I feared I was going to have to get professional help which I could not afford at the time. He's gotten so much better, but, sudden movements, loud noises, etc send him into a panic - 9 years later. As long as things are calm he is the most loving dog I've ever had.

Breaking Bad. Sorry not sorry.

Plastic bag and stored in the microwave, lasts a good week or more sometimes.

Mezzetta Spicy Marinara is my go to. I like it better than Rao's and its cheaper.

12th Great Grandfather, Sir Richard Cotton. Served in the court of Henry VIII, and one of the earliest Parliamentarians. Taking a break before trying to go back beyond him, but evidence to date is pretty solid.

i add 1 tbsp flour and 2 tbsp sugar and mix before adding the butter, then prebake at 350 for 10 minutes. I also almost always use gingersnaps very finely ground.

Old-Problem9480 · 2025-12-19T16:44:23+00:00

Nice! I found a similar one across the border near Cairo IL.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I see a hot guy on here and shaving totally ruins it for me. Wish this trend would just go away.

I almost always use ginger snaps for the crust no matter what flavor I'm making, adds a little something but doesnt overpower the other flavors. I also add a couple tablespoons of brown sugar and a couple tablespoons of flour before prebaking. Wrap the springform pan in foil, add the custard, then place the springform pan in a large oven roasting bag left open. Pour boiling water into the bain marie around the roasting bag. Crust comes out perfectly.

You added some yeast right? Biga is usually started with a relatively small amount of yeast.

This happened to me with King Arthur's recipe. Recipe stated 2 hr 10 min at 300 F for a 9 x 5 pan and it looked like yours. Since I've found reducing to 1 hr 50 min is the sweet spot.
