The Quiet Man I saw this movie as a 14 year old kid while crossing the Atlantic on the Noordam II, which was built in 1938. It was a very impressive movie for a kid. Maureen O'Hara said it was her favorite role.
We scored three corned beef briskets at a good price, two for the freezer and one cooking as I write this, The meal is always great, but the sandwiches the next day are even better. I once described this tradition to a fellow employee at the post office who was Korean. I gave him the recipe and he and his family just loved it.
Irish Soda bread is easy to make; lots of recipes on line. But if you don’t have buttermilk (and who keeps that around?) you can substitute.
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 2 cups milk approximately
- 4 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
Are y’all having a special St. Patrick’s Day meal? If not, do you have another tradition? I saw recipes for colcannon today. Looks like fun for our next Irish/ New England Boiled dinner project.

Drop by to talk about music, your weather, your garden, or what you cooked for supper…. Newcomers may notice that many who post in this series already know one another to some degree, but we welcome guests at our kitchen table and hope to make some new friends as well.
