This was the first time I did our corned beef dinner in the crock pot. It turned out fork tender and probably the tastiest one we’ve ever had.

I will do it again.

Quiet day because The Curmudgeon had a bad day and spent most of it in bed. He woke up super weak and at one point couldn’t even pull himself upright enough to get back into his bed. I had to enlist the neighbor’s help. I can’t lift him at all anymore without making my back worse.

Therefore, Lucy and I had the downstairs all to ourselves for most of the day. I even had an extra cup of coffee to sip without interruption. I’ll take it where I can get it.

Now if I only had some birthday cake to go with the coffee….
