(Old) Springing into cleaning in the MMP

Good morning, everyone.

It’s 43F and mostly clear outside. The morning sunshine is expected to convert to afternoon cloudiness, with a daytime high of 68F.

FCM, it seems you and FCD provide the family SiL craves. I think it’s a compliment to you, but sad that he doesn’t experience that with his own family.

Metal Mouse, it sounds as though you enjoyed yourself, and it was worth the trip.

A couple of weeks ago, I purchased a corned beef pack at Costco from Snake River Farms. Snake River Farms is the company I use when I send Waygu meat to the kids. I haven’t ever tried their products, but the kids love the steaks and brisket I’ve sent them. At any rate, yesterday I prepared the corned beef by slow-braising it in an oven in a Dutch oven with the usual suspects, using Guinness and beef broth for the liquid. I also put in a cinnamon stick. My goodness! It was delicious! It wasn’t a very big hunk of meat, barely three pounds, and my husband pretty much destroyed most of it last night, which is fine.

I’m not sure what today’s plans are. Maybe some yard work, maybe not. We might see 70F tomorrow, but that’ll be the warmest day of the week.

I suppose I should get my day fully started. You all take care.
