HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY
A good day for baking Irish soda bread - I did this one last year
so had better get moving in the kitchen before this day is over!
Where would I like to be right now?
Back in the Emerald Isle of course - we had such a wonderful trip there last year.
Instead we're donning our green something or other and heading to a local
Irish pub for a Guinness later.
Have fun if you plan to celebrate.

Here he is! Bob, my always smiling, amazing guy of Irish descent - and so proud of it - enjoying his
Guinness yesterday at the downtown Hibernian pub - and waiting for the fish and chips to arrive.
It was busy, crazy, we made new friends while waiting at the bar for a table, enjoyed the merriment of everyone 'wearing the green' (Bob wearing his Kitty O'Se's shirt from our lovely day last June in Kinsale, County Cork, Ireland), and all having a great time. We then came home, lit the fire, invited the neighbors over, popped the popcorn. . . . . . . . and watched that hilarious set in Ireland movie, WAKING NED DEVINE! All in all, a great St. Patrick's Day.

Yes, you had better get in that kitchen!! It wouldn't be St. Patty's day if you didn't have soda bread.
ReplyDeleteI would be happy enough Mary, to tear up that soda bread. Mmmmmm.
ReplyDeleteYum! When I saw that you published a post about soda bread, I was hoping to find a recipe. It looks delicious :)
ReplyDeleteI planned to bake a soda bread...didn't happen. Hope that yours did! (It makes such great toast.)
ReplyDeleteOh a lovely idea for today. Hope your day was so happy.
ReplyDeleteAnother movie to keep in mind! So, did you wear green too? :) I love that photo of dear Bob. he looks so in his elements. ALMOST makes me want to drink that Guinness with him except, reality is I can;t stand ales or beer! lol. Never have liked the taste but a cold one sounds good on a hot day..although of course, in Ireland and UK they are not cold even. hahahah. My sounds assure me it's better as such too.
