Ooooh, doing my own pastrami is on my list of things to do. It's hideously expensive over here, but eating it with dill pickled small cucumbers is too addictive.

Are you smoking it ?

I don't have a smoker, but I've found directions on the web for soaking charcoal briquettes in water to create smoke.  I also found an article that has you slow simmer the meat and spices, with very little water, so it's cooked, then you can smoke it a bit.  

If you find a way to do it without a smoker that works, I'd love to know! I think Craig Claibourn had a recipe in his New York Times cookbook, but my copy is still packed.  I'm sure he didn't use a smoker.  

Drew, I'm just simmering the corn beef for a couple of hours, then adding the vegies.  Himself exaggerates!  LOL

I'm looking for a really good dessert to pacify his complaints though.  And those complaints coming from someone who would eat lutefisk!!!  geesh.....

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
