Irish Corned Beef

OMG. I dont like corned beef.. but this was SERIOUSLY GOOD!!  My hub scoured the internet for the perfect recipe & this is what he got courtesy of "foodtrampdiaries.com". (thank you food tramp.. wish we could meet!!  xoxo) My husband loves to throw parties and his motto is "go big or go home".. this accompanied a giant turkey, stuffing, scalloped potatoes, sauteed green beans ect ect ect.. but my favorite part of the day were the Cheesecake Factory Cakes.. his pick was Oreo (which was really good despite my incessent bragging over my choice) which was.... (are you ready for this?) White chocolate, rasberry truffle cheesecake with oreo crust..holy hell..I think I ate the whole thing.. in the same voice that says "I dont understand why I am gaining all this weight"!
