I do my boring food prep while I talk to my dad on the phone most weeks. It's afternoon for me/mid-morning for him... I steamed zucchini and broccoli, boiled and smashed plantains for frying later, baked a bunch of chicken breasts, browned ground turkey and ground beef, made a pot of rice, washed herbs. Very unsexy cooking and very useful.
Bodkin! Have you watched the whole thing? I loved the premise, but thought the story pacing was off a little bit. I have notes! But generally, it was entertaining, and I loved the setting. I also think Siobhán Cullen is great! Have you seen the series Obituary? Also Irish, also dark comedy, also starring Siobhán in a prickly role.
Hi Mel! ◡̈ This reminds me that I should also prep while on the phone with my mom (she's always cooking something amazing!)
I haven't watched the whole Bodkin yet, but feel you on the pacing even a few episodes in – and thank you for the rec! I haven't and will absolutely add to my list! (This is the vibe I enjoy!)
Mid-week baseball! I love this.

If you want to go all in on Ireland vibes, the short story collection 'That Old Country Music' by Kevin Barry is fantastic. https://strongsenseofplace.com/books/that_old_country_music_barry/
