    Considered that, but it's a lot of time to make.

    OTOH, if I just nuke it, it might be acceptable on a sammich.

            Hey! I sent you this recipe a few months ago! Read ya mail!!!

            Not for nuttin, next time skip all that seasoning stuff and sprinkle dried oregano on top. Faster and IMO will taste better.

              It’s pretty good. Very moist. I think maybe more Parmesan next time and maybe some Italian seasoning.

                Excellent mayo-based Caesar dressing. For quite a while I've been trying to replicate Bravo! Caesar dressing. This is exceptionally close.

                I did replace half the mayo with EV olive oil.

                  Corned beef and cabbage. Why wait for St Patrick’s Day?

                  Never made it before, but we will have leftovers so I bought supplies for Reuben sandwiches.

                        Looks delicious, Mik! That's one of the few things I learned how to cook. You might try putting it under the broiler for a few minutes at the end. But either way is just as good.
                        Mistakes I've made: not cooking (simmering) long enough, was too salty to eat, chucked it. Cooked it approximately an hour longer than indicated, result was the spices were diluted, ended up too bland.
                        I sure miss being able to eat corned beef. The salt content is too high, damn.

                              The trick to low salt is to start with salt-free ingredients, and only season at table. The amount of salt you use on cooked food is miniscule.

                              I know it is said that using salt while you are cooking makes everything taste better, but I have not found that to be the case. I never salt pasta water or anything like that.

                                      Yes, thanks, I've got some Mrs. Dash. I will need to give it more of an honest try. Maybe it's an acquired taste, so not too bad after awhile.

                                        You don't like the Mrs Dash, or you miss real salt?

                                        You could try mixing the Mrs D half and half with real salt, and gradually wean away from the salt. Fool your brain, which when it comes to food, is a CREEP.

                                          Dieticians have gotten angry with me because of my techniques for reducing salt. Strong Cheeses are a great way to build flavor without a lot of salt. You have to eat things that taste good or you won’t stick with it. Salads with fruit, blue cheese and nuts are great. Grilled stuff that is only seasoned at table will keep your sodium way down.
