the corned beef i used, was bought at COSTCO and is a vienna beef
product. i cooked in the crock pot on low for about 6hours. at the
very end, i added a cabbage that was cut in quarters. (served when the
cabbage turned a bright spring green)
it was great!

THANKS for the suggestion of IRISH SODA BREAD.
i did bake it with all whole wheat/grain flour and it was great. (and
aritifical sweetener drops)
i baked it in the oven in a "pam sprayed" iron skillet. it was great!

you folks inspire me!

thanks,
rosie
