I hated St. Patrick's day as a kid because I didn't like the color green in my clothes so I never had anything green to wear. I spent the day avoiding other kids that were trying to pinch me because I didn't have any green on. I still don't like green nor do I have clothes with green on them, but at least I don't have to avoid others trying to pinch me.

Three of my wife's grandparents were off the boat from Ireland. The fourth, whose parents were off the boat, was called "The American". My wife has a soda bread recipe from her non-American grandmother, who was a cook in a household in Boston before she married. It has no egg-wash and no food processor, but is cooked in a cast-iron skillet. It also has caraway seeds AND raisins.
