    Thanks...Reubens are one of my favourites. I hadn't brined my own corned beef for a few years. Had switched to buying pre-corned, then smoking it myself. But you get to pick your ideal brisket if you do it yourself. I like the point...

    Homemade pastrami rocks. I haven't done one myself in quite a while.
    It is not even close in taste and texture when compared what you buy in the store , just so much better

    That looks great !!
