OK, raise your hands, who else is having corned beef and cabbage tonight?

23. I bought a corned beef brisket, but I'm not going to use it that way

On Monday I have a whole day with nothing scheduled, so I'm going to put it in my Traeger and make a pastrami out of it.

I'm going to try something a bit unusual here...you have to soak a corned beef for a while to get the salt out of it, so I'm going to soak it in a relatively inexpensive red wine. One of two things will happen: it'll turn out absolutely awesome, or it will take one bottle of low-end wine out of the hands of today's impressionable youth.
