Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Hope you all enjoyed your St. Patrick's Day!  We did the whole corned beef/cabbage/potato thing here - well, technically, I made it all yesterday in the slow cooker.  I haven't decided if I'll do it that way again.  Corned beef is one of those things that tastes better the second day, but I still feel like something was missing.  Maybe next time I'll cook the potatoes and cabbage separately and see if they hold their flavor better.  I have a stockpile of corned beef in my freezer right now since it was so cheap this past week, so I'll have my recipe perfected by next year.  :)

At least I finally got my soda bread to taste right.  Normally I don't have a problem with baking, but for some reason I always have issues with scones and soda bread.  They always seem to cook too quickly on the outside and still be doughy on the inside, which completely grosses me out.  This year I switched to a really basic recipe and it came out fine.  Unfortunately, WeeBee didn't understand why he couldn't eat it right after it came out of the oven, and I had to hide it.  I'm doomed once he's tall enough to see all of the counter - that child has food radar...
