St. Patrick's Day

osprey_archerUnder the circumstances it seems not quite right to say “Happy St. Patrick’s Day!”, but despite everything we are observing it in a small way. We will be having potato cakes and Guinness stew, as is my St. Patrick’s Day tradition (also traditional: I didn’t salt it enough the first go round, so I added a bit more salt to the remaining stew after dinner last night, so it should be perfect tonight), and perhaps also lime curd, which may not be particularly Irish but does at any rate come out of my Irish cookbook. And it’s green! So there.
We’re also watching Derry Girls, which of course I’ve seen, but Julie hadn’t and of course I had to spread the love. “What’s it about?” she asked.
“It’s a comedy about ordinary people just trying to live their lives during an ongoing crisis,” I said.
She looked at me wearily. “Well, that’s on point.”
(She has a work-from-home laptop now, so we’ll both be at home for the next few weeks. This is a weight off my mind.)
We watched the first two episodes yesterday, and we are in agreement that Sister Michael is the very very best, although honestly I love all the characters so much that it pains me slightly to display even this little bit of favoritism. Julie has not yet warmed to Michelle (to be fair, Michelle is probably the roughest around the edges. And quite mean to her cousin James, I feel bad for him) but perhaps that will come over time.
