    Loved seeing your da in the parade 🥰 He’s so sweet and I always hope he’s keeping well. And it’s so endearing hearing the parade MC say “Please god, we’ll all be back next year.” Reminds me of my granddad - whenever I’d hug him goodnight and say “See ya in the morning”, he’d always respond “Please god.” I don’t know why that made me tear up 🥹
    From what I’ve seen, the local parades are the one to go to! Dublin seems like a big US marching band parade. I love the local bit of humour these smaller parades add. Def would be on my bucket list to attend some day 😄

    Great honour for your dad and colleagues to have been honoured for all their work. It is big news here in Montréal when the Grand Marshall is announced for our St Patrick’s Day parade and we all hope it won’t snow that day! Craved salt and vinegar potato chips when I was pregnant so I share your concern for the lack of vinegar 😊

    that is cool to see your dad and his group get a nod from the town for the job they've done over the years. small towns, or village as you call it, are amazing. when my grandparents passed away in their small village of 100 people, everything shut down for the service of each of them, and it shows the community spirit that larger places often lack. i hope everything is going well for you and Alex, take care.

    If you start carrying around a bottle of vinegar, would that make you a vinegar hipster? Like all those pretentious people packing portions of Sriracha salsa? Actually, now I think on it, if you wash out a tabasco salsa bottle (with the removable plastic bit) and remove the label, then you could refill it with vinegar, so you have your own small vinegar bottle. (Heck, if you have a printer, and if you're a label nerd like me, you can get avery compatible labels and print your own label for your personal vinegar bottle.)
    From what little I can see of it, I think I LOVE your father's little village there.
    If you visit the U.S. again, check out Shakey's Pizza and order some Mojo Potatoes. They don't have vinegar, as it's not really an American tradition, so you'll have to bring your own. But, they're much the same, except for portion-size.
    Bon apetit.
