New England dinner... boiled dinner... corned beef and cabbage... is a particular seasonal favorite from my childhood...
Take a deep breath and throw caution to the wind... there will be no measuring... a few pinches and handfuls perhaps... but nothing more... it's cooking... it's an adventure ...it's not chemistry... the pot won't explode with one carrot too many...
Into a large, heavy pot with a lid, place a corned beef brisket and a large onion, peeled and coarsely chopped. Add enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer all afternoon until tender. Peel and cut in half several carrots. Core and cut a medium head of cabbage into wedges. Add these to the pot. Salt and pepper to taste. Cook until veggies are fork tender... slice the beef and serve with a side of boiled potatoes...
