For those of you who have never been to the Napa Valley, you have missed a truly wonderful spot. All that wine in bottles & casks and a bunch more still locked in the grapes; not to mention nature at its best. Read more Back in the day, I spent some quality time with a wonderful young lady who lived in the Napa Valley. Not easy, as I lived in Hawaii at the time. Ah well, the size of your adventures depends on how fast you run and how high you jump. What has this got to do with anything? Well, the San Andria’s fault runs through the Napa Valley; in fact, it ran right through Allie’s back yard. In my mind, the Napa is inexorably entwined with Allie and the San Andria’s fault. This dish could have been Pisupo & Napa cabbage, but where’s the fun in that. Pisupo is what the people of the South Pacific call Tinned Corned Beef. So, we have tinned corned beef and Napa Cabbage, with stuff. I usually make my Corned Beef & Cabbage using homemade corned brisket but now and then there’s is a hankering and not enough time. After all, there are one or two things worth doing, besides cooking. See less
