Irish Soda Bread ☘️
This bread is easy to make if you want something homemade without a ton of fuss. It’s feckin great.
Irish soda bread, so named because it gets its leavening from baking soda, is a traditional Irish bread that has as many variations as Ireland has shamrocks. I decided to try my hand at it for an office potluck to celebrate St Patrick’s Day, since I’m .1% Irish.*
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
Whisk together dry ingredients and stir in buttermilk only until mostly incorporated. Scrape into Dutch oven that has been liberally coated with oil OR lined with parchment, and smooth the top as best you can. Bake covered at 400⁰ 15 minutes; uncover and bake 30 minutes more. Allow to sit 10 minutes, then turn out onto cooling rack. Cool completely before slicing with serrated knife for best results. Serve with butter and/or jam, or fry slices for a traditional Irish ulster fry breakfast

Twitter In The Wild, Birds On A Wire
I imagine this is what wild bird Twitter is like. Lots of birds on a wire talking about all sorts of things. It’s pretty cool to see all of them just hanging out and doing real-life tweets. Hopefully, they get along better than humans.
