Eliza Jane and Hannah wish you a very happy St. Patrick’s Day! This morning, to celebrate, Hannah baked Irish Soda Bread for breakfast, which made all her sisters quite happy indeed ❤
Getting ready… covered cast iron casserole pots are just right for baking crusty soda bread…
Stirring in the buttermilk…
Ready to go into the oven.
The doll’s loaves, fragrant and piping hot!
Golden brown crust…
mmmmmmmmm…
Cat proof cooling!
Irish Soda Bread with raisins.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Hannah’s favorite recipe comes from The Society for the Preservation of Irish Soda Bread. She prefers the recipe for White Soda Bread. She did stray from tradition and add raisins, which would actually make her bread “spotted dog”. Hannah is quite fond of both raisins and dogs… ❤

Happy St. Patricks Day to the girls back. We enjoyed a delicious Irish Dinner at HOWARD’S Restaurant. Tons of people, but we had a reservation and got right in. My Corn Beef and Cabbage dinner was so good. We brought home enough meat for a sandwich later today. Their Irish Soda Bread was with raisins and golden brown too. The HOWARDS opened their restaurant in 1955 and still have a full house of guests every night. And they are just down the road from us. Today will be the last doll show we can get to, Venice Florida. So HAPPY ST. PATRICKS DAY to all.
