17 March 2011 Drink to ol’ Jim Bridger

Income taxes completed and filed.

We intend to have corned beef with cabbage for dinner tonight. The crock pot, which worked wonderfully, or at least, acceptably Tuesday night and Wednesday morning to produce overnight oatmeal, refused to produce any heat to the ceramic bowl this morning. The dinner meal is now braising in a 5 quart sauté pan on the stovetop. I’ll add the cabbage about 1630.

There is a loaf of what could become soda bread in the oven now. I rarely bake so this will be whatever it chooses to be. Since newly baked bread with butter is highly addictive the small loaf will likely not survive past Friday breakfast.

Hamilton Beach, importers of the slow cooker not in use, will replace it. They did so about 4 months earlier when the previous HB slow cooker began overheating. This time we will have to pay $12.50 in shipping. They will also provide a different model in the same price range. We use the slow cooker frequently so we need to replace it The question becomes with which made-in-China, labeled-in-America product from what store. I’ll discuss this with Gloria when she gets home.

Today is the anniversary of Jim Bridger’s birth.

I think very highly of him, He deserved much more recognition and acclaim than he received in his life. Often the case.
