"Erin Go Bragh."


UGGGGG!!!!!!!! My second flub.

SUCCESS
Dear Friends,

They say when things come, they usually come in sets of three. I heard three pieces of news this past week. The good, the bad, and the ugly. The good news is that the maple sap is running like a broken faucet left on high and we should produce lots of maple syrup. The bad news is that my daughter and grandson are moving 2000 miles away from me and I will miss them very much. And the ugly news, well I tried making Irish Soda Bread, one of the easiest recipes in my half Irish world, and it failed each time. That is until I tried this recipe. I recalled seeing it in the Fine Cooking magazine months ago and remember the article saying something like, " the no fail Irish Soda Bread". It was right. This bread came out tasty, light, and cooked to a goldenness that tempted me to eat half the warm loaf smothered in butter before it even touched the dinner table. I enhanced the bread by adding 2 TBS caraway seeds and a handful of golden raisins. Give it a try and have a Happy St Patrick's Day.

PS    Take my advise and make two loafs. One for you and one for the rest of the family.
