Key West - Jazz at the Green Parrot and an Irish dinner

 

Once again the Cantina Band was playing - great musicians

Our favorite jazz band was at the Green Parrot Sunday afternoon so we took advantage of that for an afternoon listening to their music. There is no cover charge but everyone buys drinks, we had a beer. 

It seems that there’s a group of fans that return every Sunday to listen to the band so we met them again today. It turns out they are from Bar Harbor, Maine so Ann had a lot in common to talk about since she attended the University of Maine for four years. 

A great once a year Irish dinner

It was time to cook our traditional Irish meal, our once a year venture into Irish culinary country. Naturally, it was corned beef with potatoes, carrots, and cabbage. This year, Ann used the Instant Pot and it only took 85 minutes for a tender meal. I think we’ll have enough leftovers for the next few days, it was a large cut of corned beeF. 

Our crew made it back to Connecticut in the early morning hours (3 am!) after numerous delays along the way. With that , all is well up north. Everyone had a wonderful time - great to get together with family when you can, especially in warm weather like Key West!
