No cooking last night. One of Dane's golf friends from Toledo stopped by. His mother and her husband live two communities over from us and he's been down a couple weeks to help her out as her husband had to be in the hospital for a few days.....medicine mix-up. Dave is just now starting to do his research on assisted living/memory care facilities in Florida. He has POA and is Trustee on their trust (apparently he was the best choice even though her husband has 4 children....who would love to have an inheritance.....) So, we gave him some ideas of where to start and what to look for. Right now he's pretty overwhelmed but the medical emergency is over and his mom and her husband are fine to take care of one another again.
So, since we were visiting (and I didn't feel like cooking), we decided to go out for supper. We ended up at Metro Diner. Dave had a turkey plate, looked like a Thanksgiving dinner on a plate, Dane had Country Fried Steak and mashed potatoes. He said it was really good. I ended up with shrimp and grits and was very pleased.
I had simmered my corned beef most of the afternoon and now it's been drained and is stashed in the garage refrigerator in the strained cooking liquid. Today I'll take any excess fat off the broth, slice the brisket into thin slices before reheating and use most of the broth to cook the vegetables. I invited Ana, our Brazilian neighbor, over for the meal. She said she never had Corned Beef until she came to the US but it's her all-time favorite.
Tomorrow we're suppose to drive to Disney Springs for a little day of shopping with Lyn's sister, Sandi. Me? I just go for the food! LOL
