St. Patrick's Day Recipes

By Catie Hayes of WomanLinks.com
Try these traditional Irish Recipes on St. Patrick's Day this year!

SODA BREAD

4 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. sugar (optional)
2 cups buttermilk or sour milk
1 cup raisins (optional)

Sieve the dry ingredients into a large bowl. Scoop up handfuls and allow to drop back into the bowl to aerate the mixture. Add enough buttermilk to make a soft dough. Now working quickly (the buttermilk and soda react very quickly), knead the dough lightly (too much will toughen it) Form a round loaf about as thick as your fist. Place it on a floured cookie sheet and cut a cross on the top with a floured knife. Bake as close to the top of the oven as possible in a preheated oven (450) for 30-45 minutes. When the loaf is cooked through, it will sound hollow when you rap it with your knuckles.

COLCANNON

butter
1/2 lb. cabbage
3 lb. potatoes
small onion
salt & pepper

Boil the potatoes, drain and mash well. Chop up the cooked cabbage and mix in with the potatoes. Chop the onion and cook in butter until soft. Mix in with potatoes and cabbage.

Growing and Using Garlic Chives
Garlic chives, Allium tuberosum, is a hardy perennial (Zones 3-9) that will grow to about 12 inches high. The stems are skinnier and flat, instead of hollow as are regular chives, with greenish white blooms that are about an inch wide and not as rounded. They bloom in the summer rather than spring. The bloom stalks grow much taller than the leaves, sometimes up to 30 inches.

The stems and blooms are both edible and have a mild garlic onion taste. I've noticed many writers will list this as primarily as an Asian herb, as they are also known as Chinese chives, Chinese leeks, ku chai (China) or Nira (Japan), but it has many other uses as well!

The Perfect Porch Swing
Perhaps it is the soothing rhythm or the reassuring creak of the porch swing that attracts us. Perhaps it is the companionable silence or quiet conversation. Or maybe swings simply remind us of more genteel times.

Although porch swings can be purchased in a wide range of materials, the most common are wicker and wood. You can also make your own porch swing from one of the myriad of woodworking patterns available at garden centers, hardware stores, or on the Internet.
