Do you cook corned beef?

We had corned beef at the track on NYE and although not as good as last year (mostly due to a poor waiter who didn't bring it out in a timely fashion), it was a food that really hit the spot. I have been thinking about having it again ever since, so when I stopped by the grocery yesterday after school, I picked up a packaged one and cooked it tonight. Those boogers take a long time to cook - 3.5 hours! In the liquid, I cooked some halved new potatoes and cut up cabbage.

Sadly, I didn't think it was that great. Didn't seem as seasoned as at the track and even after all that cooking, I would not describe it as "fork tender" as the label said it would be.

Any advice?
