Chef 101 Humpday: Why don’t we eat Corned Beef every day?

I’ve avoided making Corned Beef so far in my one-year journey into cooking because St. Paddy’s Day hadn’t come up yet!  But now that it has how is it that I don’t remember it ever tasting this good (mom?) when I was a kid?

Was it the Orange juice that softened it?  The 12 hours in the crock pot?  The cabbage I boiled to perfection?  The spray butter on said cabbage?  Or the French’s mustard, the kind usually reserved for a kid’s sandwich or a hot dog, slathered all over the moisty meat?  Oh, and lest I forget, was it the TWO ROB ROYS I HAD AT THE SOCIAL BEFORE?  Dunno, but I’ll be making this one again:
