📷 Today we're sharing a deep fried #tripe #recipe from a Maura Laverty #cookbook called 'Full and Plenty', published in 1960 by the Irish Flour Miller’s Association:

Cut cooked tripe into squares or strips. Sprinkle with salt and paprika. Dip in batter and fry in deep fat. Serve with tartare sauce

Jaysus! It's not often that I gasp aloud!

You should do a TED talk.

I like these typographical thingies in the book I'm reading. This edition was printed in 1947. First printed in 1929. The book contains no details on the font/typeset etc., so would be happy to be enlightened about them.

All the creases! 😀

Okay, this is one for any writers or illustrators in Ireland doing children's events. In case you haven't already heard, it looks like Garda Vetting rules are changing, so that you will have to appear in person to show your ID documents for any organization that looks for vetting. 1/5

Would anyone have access to the journal Clio for 2005? Vol 34.4?

GNR [i.e. Great Northern Railway] Station, Belfast For such an important city on the island this station looks somewhat modest and unassuming, not quite what one might expect for so fine a city as Belfast. There is certainly plenty of activity there ...

Is this it?

Yep, that's the one! I use religiously.

A sign on a fence that reads: ‘Run like you left the immersion on.’

At an athletics competition with my daughter today in Tullamore, and they have the most Irish of inspirational quotes.

In Ringsend, the historical society is building an archive of photos and more First, they’re working on putting the materials online. But later, maybe a place where people can drop in to look at some of them.

This is a terrible move.

People emailing me as editor of Dublin Inquirer to say we should do more stories about how (they say) immigrants are ruining Ireland.

Home - Northern Ireland Screen | Digital Film Archive Over 128 years of moving images from Northern Ireland, featuring amateur and professional films from 1897 to 2025, brought to you by Northern Ireland Screen.

Our team does a brilliant job all over Northern Ireland but the authorities see film archive as nothing but nice nostalgia to play in the background and not worth investing in.

I get so much from your TED talks.
