Blasket Islands, County Kerry, Ireland
Happy (early) St. Patrick’s Day to you! Ireland is my most favorite place in the world, but St. Patrick’s Day is far from my favorite holiday. In New York City, we’re invaded by tourists and everyone drinks to excess and it’s just not pretty. So if you’re like me, and will be holing up in your apartment this Sunday with a nice Smithwick’s and a slice of brown bread with Kerrygold butter whilst listening to The Pogues, here are a few recipes you might make while you’re at it.

the scones sound delicious
Oh, yeah…Irish brown bread was one of my favorite memories of Ireland! I will bake some up soon…I just saw some wheat germ in my freezer!
PS…my Easter egg cookies are chewy! Kind of like tollhouse, but even better! You’ll love them~
Fantastic! Thanks so much, can’t wait to make them this weekend.
