pickRead these to Jace just in time for #foodandlit and St. Patrick‘s Day. The tagged book was really funny, and the one about St. Patrick himself was very informative for a children‘s book. Thanks for the recommendations @TheBookHippie ! 🤗

Happy St Paddy's Day! ☘️☘️☘️
I started my day with a couple stories from the tagged while drinking tea my parents brought back from their last trip to Ireland 🇮🇪 before jumping into the kitchen to bake soda bread to go with tonight's dinner. Next, on to Dublin Coddle while the music plays! If you're looking for a playlist today, I love this one: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0GpyyMiGai1OHwfmkSEG6c?si=P7_wQtDjQ_mvsSdrPqua...

? Through Irish Eyes: A Visual Companion to Angela McCourt"s Ireland by David Pritchard, forward by Malachy McCourt
Got up early to make Irish breakfast tea and scones from the tagged cookbook. So good, but with 3 sticks of butter most of these will be going in the freezer to be eaten slowly. #FoodAndLit #Ireland
pickAnother book read for #FoodandLit Ireland. This was an audiobook, told in the first person almost Luke a bibliography by a 10 year old.It was funny, and boy, could I relate to this era of growing up with no video games and being free to play outside.A little bit crude.Then it took a little turn, and it also made me cry.If you listen to this book, you have to make sure to remember the decade it was.I totally got it as it was my decade to grow up in

📖 A Colder Eye: The Modern Irish Writers by Hugh Kenner
pickThis is a hilarious but informative take on all things Irish, both the Republic (south) and Northern Ireland. A few sections require some knowledge about Ireland so I didn‘t understand them but they were quite short. In fact, the book is very short, less than 100 pages. I can‘t believe I haven‘t found this series before! I love it! #Ireland #foodandlit @Catsandbooks

Sadly I just finished this extremely fun book. Review to come. Here‘s one last fun tidbit.
