The rest needs to be on hand the day before

whole milk

cumin

saffron

a soft cheese of your choice (shredded)

oatmeal

honey

a stout ( like Guiness)

I'm thinking the ingredient list is almost as long as the title!

Cool! My own personal blog title - I'm officially a rockstar :D

I've made corned beef all my life, and *always* been interested in making the "corned" part instead of just cooking it. My son is half Irish so this always a fun Holiday dinner to make for him. Even though he lives at his own place with his very nice girlfriend, I still plan on making the ol' corned beef dinner :) This time I get to make it for real!
Thank you :) :)

Sounds like there is a little soda bread in your future [or beer?] - this is my ALL time favorite meal - they are serving it at my funeral [we've made arrangements ;D] I LOVE CB&C with pumpernickel bread.

Can't wait. Can't make it from scratch this year, but SUPER appreciate the recipe [when you post it] because you can't buy CB all year long [the butcher says it is "seasonal" - bite me Mr. Butcher, it is brisket. Dang.]

So, now when my birthday rolls around in the fall Pooldad will know what to do :)

Hugs and enjoy.
