Yep. I celebrate my Irish-American heritage with corned beef & cabbage. The best way to do it is to start it in the morning in a crock pot with apple cider. Let it cook all day, then remove it from the liquid and stick it in a roasting pan and bake it at 375 degrees Farenheit for 30 minutes or so. Ok, now I'm hungry.
