Irish Soda Bread

St. Patrick's Day !

A nice warm loaf of Irish Soda Bread served with some Kerrygold Butter. Being that both Colleen and I have somewhat of an Irish heritage I thought it was only a propos.


Roasted Chicken


Roasted Chicken with heirloom carrots, button and shiitake mushrooms.

I picked up a wonderfully fresh chicken on my latest trip to the Dekalb Farmers Market.
I brined the bird for about 7 hours in a water, salt, brown sugar, peppercorn brine. It was roasted with the veg and basted with butter along the way.
