And....the RC arrived in the sewing room doorway to show me this...
Because you might like to make this goodie for yourself, here's the recipe...
IRISH SODA BREAD
3 c. flour
2/3 c. sugar
3 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1 c. raisins
2 large eggs, beaten
1 1/2 c. buttermilk
1 T. veg. oil
Combine dry ingredients and stir in raisins. Set aside 1 T. beaten egg. Combine
buttermilk, oil and remaining egg. Stir into flour mixture just until moistened. Transfer into greased 9" round baking pan (a dutch oven works a treat!) and brush top with reserved egg. Bake at 350 for 45-50 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 mins and remove from pan.
- THIS made me smile and think of spring.
- Most of you know I love denim, so of course THIS caught my eye.
- Scrolling through THESE made me smile (and sometimes laugh).
- Have you ever wondered why there are coloured bands on sewing machine needles? I'm sure you have (haven't you?). Well, wonder no more. Go HERE.

In early February, spring seems a long way off. But it does eventually arrive..
ReplyDeleteFebruary is the worst month for me - good thing it's a short month.
DeleteThat bread looks so tasty! I went through a period of making soda bread every few days, using the lid of a cast iron skillet for a baking pan. Got to where the whole process took under an hour, start to finish. Been thinking a lot about baking sandwich bread again, because it's so hard to find really good storebought, and sandwiches have been a big part of my diet this winter.
ReplyDeleteThe RC is in the midst of baking some sourdough bread as we speak. He wants to do a test to see how his new dutch oven handles it. It certainly worked well for the soda bread.
DeleteLovely start to your fabric landscape;))) It's nice to work with Spring colors to fight off that "white-out" syndrome in place now,
ReplyDeleteI think!!
The Irish Soda Bread sounds so good. We are in the midst of Paczki season and now will be thinking of moving forward to Soda Bread and Hot Cross Bun seasons--["Food, food, glorious food>>>!!!] hahaha enjoy;))))
hugs, Julierose
Yes, a spring theme seemed to be what I want to do right now, so I went with it. And yes, that soda bread is delish - so much so that the RC is talking about making it again.
