• Oct. 14, 2007 - Irish Dinner

We started Ireland in our Children Around the World study this week.  We spend 2 weeks on a country and usually end with the celebration.  However, next weekend we are going to be very busy at church with a Missions conference.  So we decided to have our Irish dinner last night.  I made a quick list of what I was missing and ran out to Krogers.  Three hours later, we were eating. Mark loved the Irish stew.  Mei didn't care for it.  I used mostly lamb with some beef in the stew.  I meant to add carrots to our stew but in my hurry to get it in the oven I forgot them.  I loved the Irish soda bread.  Everyone liked the Irish potato cakes.  We also enjoyed the Irish Cinnamon Apple cake.  I don't know how authentic it is, but we ate our cake with vanilla ice cream.  It really didn't rise at all.  I don't know if that is right or not.  It tasted good! Mei helping to cut out the Irish potato cakes.  It turns out that both my grandma and my hubby's grandma used to serve us potato cakes just like these.  I never knew how my grandma made them.  Now I can make them for my kids. Potato cakes after they are cooked. Mark helped me make the soda bread and the cake.  He enjoyed using the Pampered Chef apple corer, slicer, peeler tool.  I was too busy supervising and mixing up other stuff to take pictures. Here is the Irish soda bread.  My other cross cut on the top didn't work. Our Irish stew. The Irish Cinnamon Apple Cake What Mark thought of our Irish dinner.
