St Patrick's Day

We're going to have a boiled dinner in celebration of St. Patrick's day today. Also known as corned beef and cabbage.

Although I do not like cabbage at all (bleck!) I do love me a good corned beef dinner. We generally only eat it once a year so as to save up the goodness.

Corned beef is traditionally supposed to be salted. By salted I mean kept from spoiling by burying it under a mountain of salt for months on end. The purpose for boiling the corned beef is sucking some of the salt into the water and thus making the beef itself edible.

I say to hell with that! If the corned beef isn't crunchy then it needs more salt!

Could you please pass the salt?
