My meal planning was slightly off, so an Irish-adjacent dinner occurred this year the day after St. Patrick's Day, on Monday night. A hearty beef stew, albeit from a more French tradition, was the centerpiece. I stripped it down a bit to fit my agenda on a weekday, but it seemed a good night to also try my hand at an Irish soda bread. I'd love for that loaf to have been amazing, given that it can come together pretty quickly, but it was more in the meh zone. Still: slathered with butter and/or dipped into that luscious red wine sauce, its thick slices did not lead to the management receiving a ton of complaints.
