Keeping Travel Documentation?
Let me clarify. How long should one keep documentation from personal travel? I know from experience that it is not smart to toss documentation from business travel, especially if one expects to be reimbursed for it.
Corned Beef and Cabbage Using Canned Beef?
By far the best results Ive had in cooking this dish is to use packaged corned beef (in vacuum pack plastic), NOT IN THE CAN. After using corned beef from the meat department at Aldis, I would NEVER go back to using canned. Yeah, I know my mom always used canned...
