Irish Steak.

We enjoyed a typical Sunday evening meal of steak and potatoes. With cottage cheese, strawberries & raspberries, bread, brussel sprouts and a little red sprouts are one of the many vegetables that the Irish eat in addition to potatoes which is the "sour cream" of Russia or the "Paprika" of Hungary.

Delicious comfort meal on a Sunday where five of us sat down and enjoyed food and each other. LOVE Sunday night meals with my people.

We had a surprise knock on our Irish door after bath time. My sissy Deb and her husband Scott and son TJ showed up to say "hello". What a spontaneously fun Sunday night. Much better than TV! We yapped for an hour or so and they were off.

This daylight savings time has all of us off schedule. Monday is going to be dreadful.
