Everybody’s Irish on March 17, but still not everyone is Catholic. Remember your faith while adding charm and authenticity to your festivities with an Irish side dish, a classic novel about St. Patrick, the lorica, more recipes and a little gardening.
With St. Patrick’s Day on a Sunday, it’s the perfect time to serve up a festive post-Mass brunch to honor this great saint. Some say no Irish breakfast is complete without a side of authentic potato farls. Originally devised to use up leftover mashed potatoes, it is a simple dish, requiring only pantry staples, but it creates delicious breakfast or anytime fare. Try the “Authentic Irish Potato Farls” at www.BiggerBolderBaking.com, where you’ll also find recipes for Irish scones, soda bread and apple cake.
