Ath
Bhliain Faoi Mhaise! (Happy New Year!)
I
hope you have all had a wonderful holiday! Now
that the holidays have passed, things are pretty
much back to normal at LittleShamrocks.com.
We
had some nice comments on the web site in December
and January, and thousands of people were searching
through our holiday recipes. Mary Lydon emailed
with raves about the web site and said that
she loved all the new Irish recipes.
Speaking
of recipes, I have chosen several recipes for
Valentine's
Day treats. There are
two choices
for breakfast: eggs benedict with boxtie hearts
and heart-shaped pancakes with blueberries
and cream. I have baked some heart-shaped cranberry
scones for your tea or coffee break and some
really cute valentine-decorated sugar cookies.
I have
also made a heart-shaped decorated Irish apple
cake. All of you bakers out there will have
fun
making these items for your sweethearts. I
have also made a new entree, which is a new recipe
for Irish cheddar, broccoli and mushroom
pie.
I will
have some new St.
Patrick's Day recipes for
you to try soon, including Fisherman's Chowder,
several
appetizers, a pot roast dinner and cookies.
We
have become affiliated with some additional companies
that sell Irish products: ShopIrish.com
for Irish gifts & iGourmet.com for some wonderful
new Irish food items & gift
baskets. We also
have added a few new products from FoodIreland,
which are
Nestle's
Aero Bubbles Mint Chocolate Bites and Boland's
Coconut Cream Cookies.
We
also now have
an RSS
feed which gives you the opportunity
to sign up for notification of any updates
relating
to your particular interests found on LittleShamrocks.com.
We hope you will take a look at these new
additions to our web site.
What is an RSS Feed?
We
received a nice note from Gerry Bohan. He is
in the process of preparing his January
report about County Leitrim, which will
be published
in
next month's newsletter. Gerry's elderly
parents,
Teresa and J.P., have been ill with the
flu, as well as Gerry himself. He said that he
rang in
the New Year at O'Brien's Tavern, which
is
something that Terry and I would like to
do one day.
Well,
that's the news for this month. I will be looking
forward to hearing
from
you about
the trip
or anything else that you would like
to share. Until next time
...
Slainte!
Tyna
