SSBBWGAL, it is very easy! I have a six quart crock pot or slow cooker (same thing) I cut up about half a head of cabbage, put some in the bottom, put in the corned beef with all the juices from the package and the seasonings that come with them and then put more cabbage on top. Then I put in enough water to just about cover the meat. It is best if you can cook it about 8 or so hours on low but it also works if you cook it about 4 hours on high. either way it comes out nice and tender and yummy!
Psst Bubs ... try the Pataks curry pastes ... I made a fab veggie madras with one of them.
I've been baking all day - a birthday tradition at work and I'll be aging later this week. (Taking a day off to get the wrinkles put in and a few more grey hairs painted on, lol) How come everyone else gets away with a cheap bag of doughnuts?!
Tonight I am having another go at curry.
It always tastes so good at a resturant, I just cant understand why I cant get it right at home, so I have a traditional Indian cookbook...and I will let ya all know if it turns out ok
Tonight we are going out for a pasta /pizza meal for my son's 15th birthday. I know where I want to dine tomorrow night.......I've lost a bit of interest in cooking lately...maybe after I've moved house (Friday) and settle down...
