Happy St. Patrick's Day!

So, for the last week we've had a flank steak in brine for our corned beef. I know, brisket is the normal meat, but the flank steak has much less fat. Well, we've rinsed it and put it in the crock pot to cook for dinner! And I, the non-cook, has done most of the work with this. I went out and got everything we needed, put together the brine and turned it over about half the time, the roomie did it the other half. (It had to be turned every day, even though we did a good job of getting the air out of the bag.) Tonight we'll boil a potato, or a handful of those "baby" potatoes, and a cabbage. About 2 weeks ago I suggested we boil our potatoes when we ate them, in the water we were steaming the other vegetables over. If they have their skins on, they don't pick up the flavor.
