158. My all-time fave...
Sat Jan 4, 2025, 10:09 PM
Jan 2025

… is Irish stew.

Mind you, I’ve spent the last three weeks moving—me with a bad knee in a brace and my son missing a leg—and we’re still living amidst boxes and bags as we try to sort out where everything will go. He had some wonderful friends help us move but they piled everything everywhere, ignoring the rooms marked on each box, so it’s slow going. We’ve been living on crap like granola and frozen burritos, and it’s getting OLD.

And now we’re having a cold snap in Sarasota and I’m dying for this stew—heavy on potatoes, carrots, celery, and a bottle of Guinness stout to make it insanely rich and satisfying.

I’ve found my Instant Pot, got the veg and the Guinness, and tomorrow’s the day. This cannot wait for St. Patty’s day.
