I guess this is obvious in hindsight, but if you :

- pour a bottle of Smithwicks into a slow cooker...

- leave it alone with a corned beef brisket for 7 hours, adding carrots, onions and cabbage along the way...

- remove and plate the corned beef + veggies, then drop some kind of pot roast (what kind ? the kind that was on sale ;))) into the crock pot liquid for another 6 hours, along with more onions & carrots and some celery...

- remove the beef, then boil the remaining liquid for an hour or so until reduced by half to make gravy for the beef...

...you end up with all kinds of yummy.

The cabbage was good enough to make a meal on its own (sans beef etc..), and the gravy was exceptionally good.
