As you can see below, every round baking pan in the house was pressed into service (including my cast-iron frying pan--which did not cook long enough). I know I could bake them in regular rectangular loaf pans, but that just would not look right to me--it's not how my Nana made them. The picture does not include the one I made for us as a test batch, because that one is already half gone.
The recipe for her Irish soda bread might have been lost forever if not for my younger brother's wife, who measured out the ingredients while helping Nana to make it one day (Thanks, J!). Nana didn't use a recipe, nor did she measure. She just put the flour, etc. in a bowl until it "looked right" and baked it up.
HAPPY St. Patrick's Day!
May you always have
Walls for the wind,
A roof for the rain,
Tea beside the fire,
Laughter to cheer you,
Those you love near you,
And all your heart might desire!

Oh, the things we end up doing once tradition starts. Soon enough, you'll be making an even dozen!
