There is luck in sharing a thing.
-Irish Proverb

*Irish Stew* *Ingredients:*
3	pounds of Lamb Chops, trimmed & deboned
2	pounds of Potatoes
1	pound of Onions
1/2	tablespoon of chopped Parsley
1/2	tablespoon of fresh Thyme
2	cups of Water
	Salt & Pepper to taste
*Directions:* Cut meat into pieces. Peel and slice potatoes and onions. Layer half of the potatoes in saucepan, then half of the meat and herbs, and finally half of the onions. Season each layer to taste and repeat the process. Pour water over, cover with a sheet of foil and well as the lid, and simmer gently for about 2 hours, occasionally shaking the pan to prevent sticking. Add liquid if it seems too dry, but a good Irish stew should be thick and not like a soup. Makes 4 servings.

A kind word never broke anyone's mouth.
-Irish Proverb

*Brown Soda Bread* *Ingredients:*
8	cups of Wholemeal Flour mixed with white flour (proportions may vary according to taste)
2	teaspoons Salt
2	teaspoons Baking Soda
3	cups Buttermilk
*Directions:* Mix all dry ingredients together. Make a well in the center and pour in half the buttermilk. Carefully mix in the dry ingredients, adding enough buttermilk to make a soft dough. (You may need more or less than three cups) Gently and quickly combine the bread. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Divide into two loaves and quickly shape each loaf into a circle. Place each loaf into a 7-inch greased pie plate, and cut a deep cross on the top with a knife. Bake at 450F degrees for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 400 and bake for an additional 25 minutes, or until the bread is done. The bread should be lightly browned and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom. Turn out onto a rack when cool. Variations: For white soda bread the directions are the same, but use white flour only. For Spotted Dick use the same ingredients, but add sultanas and currants. For Soda Bread With Bacon you may place several slices of bacon in a criss-cross pattern on top of the bread before putting in the oven. Makes 2 loaves.
