Ooh fun. Now that I know how to do it, corned beef will be coming back fiercely into my life. I’ll never buy corned beef at any deli ever again. Thankfully Max’s in highland park has tongue sandwich.

lucky - enjoy!!!

isn’t a Rachel made with Turkey substitute?

I hope that you can still get your corned beef & cabbage :-)

Ooh this is a favorite dish for me - steak with rice. And the corn, usually canned. I’ve not yet tried to make it - I’ve had leftover steak sautéed with bok choy or tofu etc but I’ve yet to cook a raw steak and have it with rice. One day... I’ll also have to buy the corn.
