tommorow I'm going to cook corned beef in a crock-pot, today I was told to boil it for 1 hour first, then put it in the crock. Does ANYONE know how to cook a flat cut corned beef brisket in a crock-pot? Please advise A.S.A.P. its Friday 3-14, and this 3lb hunk of meat has to be in the crock by 10am Sat 3-15, tomorrow. Thank you in advance for any advise!!!

I haven't made spaghetti for a long time and have a hankering for it. Have several boxes in there. It LOOKS like new. Any thoughts? Without starting a new thread........ Is it okay to eat celery stalks and fresh carrots that have been in there for 2 months or so? They are soggy where you can bend them without snapping them, but otherwise look good in my really cold refrigerator. I would be boiling the carrots. But the celery I'd rinse and cut up and throw in my cold tuna fish for sandwiches. What about Miracle Whip that looks fine, but had a 2006 date I wrote on it when I opened it up? What about beer that has been in there for many years? Any terrible diseases you can get from eating/drinking what I talked about? I hate throwing stuff away simply out of unfounded fear. I have a feeling people throw perfectly good food away all the time, for that reason.
