Well, St. Patrick's Day is upon us! We have been working hard to meet the demand of sewing Shamrock gift items for some Lucky Irish families. Now, we need to get ourselves ready.
I wrote my grocery list last night and need to get that done today. The meal is the simple part, it's the decorating that I love! I plan to set my table with a white table cloth, green shamrock table decorations, candles, and my fine china. My daughter plans to make rainbow cupcakes, and I plan to make Irish Soda Bread as a gift to my guests.
The Soda Bread recipe I have makes one huge loaf. But, on these occasions I like to split that into four small loaves. After the bread has cooled, I wrap each one in brown paper and tie it with cord. Then I make a paper shamrock as a tag. Very simple, very cute, appropriate and always appreciated!
While we're not your typical Irish family, we do enjoy a good St. Pat's dinner.
Slainte!
