COFFEE AT THE HILLS:  Andrea was alone at the table when we arrived. Joan (with Previous) came wheeling in soon after we arrived. A little later Fran arrived. I don’t really know what was discussed ’cause I was being that rude person that is more interested in his phone than the people around me. In my defense, I’m still trying to get the new phone set with all my old apps and passwords.

IRISH LUNCH: We were gifted with a small can of corned beef.  We had half a head of cabbage. That 13% Irish in my DNA took over. I just had to bring them together. I added large chunks of thin-skin potatoes and shredded a carrot into the mix. I also dissolved a half teaspoon of Better Than Bouillon beef soup starter into about a quarter cup of water for some extra flavor. Cooked under pressure in the Instapot for about twenty-five minutes. I left it on keep warm until the table was set and 2 were ready to eat. Dang good eatin’ with some buttered bread to soak up that wonderful potliquor. I’d pat myself on the back but I don’t want to throw my shoulder out of joint.

ELLA baked a peach cobbler for Over The Hill Gang tomorrow. However, somehow the oven was set at 450° instead of 350°. She admits to having turned the oven on in the dark. The kitchen wasn’t really in the dark. But it was in the DIM. The top looks a little browner than usual but not burnt. I think it will be okay
