So I just spent the last 4 hours making the Corned Beef and Cabbage dinner I make exactly once a year.

I fucked it up.

I bought a beef brisket – not a corned beef brisket.  Significant difference in taste.

It’s not unedible, but it’s not corned beef.  It’s just boiled beef.  Bland, boring, and not at all what I spent the last 4 hours cooking for.

I’m putting it in the fridge and ordering chinese.

…

Believe it or not, this has got me in a serious funk.

Go figure.
