A Tad Early

This coming Saturday we're headed to the Cheesecake Factory to celebrate Bekah Lee's birthday (which is actually not till next week, but she'll be on tour when it happens). And since Saturday would be St. Paddy's day, we transferred the feast - to today!

Sadly, Bekah was at school; David at the university; but Dean and Lauren (both on Spring break) joined Cindi and me in a wonderful feast:

Irish soda bread (whole wheat with raisins, sliced thin and smothered with butter)
Fried cabbage
Mashed tatters
Gravy
Corned Beef

It was delicious - and the soda bread reminded us of Marianne. She always made the Irish soda bread - usually with white flour and with so many raisins that you were amazed the bread could hold together! Absolutely delicious. What we forgot? To serve hot tea with the meal. We always used to do that too.
