Little Shamrocks News, Issue #7 --
Holiday Recipes and Gift Giving
Hello
Friends,
Well,
the leaves have turned and winter is just around
the corner. It's time to start thinking about
the holidays and making our lists for gift
giving.
Our distributor, Food Ireland, will have great
deals on food gifts such as Irish breakfast
ingredients and assorted cheeses; or you may
be interested
in giving that someone special some Irish pottery
or a cookbook. There is plenty of time now
for perusing.
In
October, we added several recipes including Chicken
with Apple-Cherry Chutney, Wild Rice & Barley
Stuffed Mushrooms, Potato & Leek Bake, Tangy
Shredded Beets and Pumpkin Cream Cheese Cake Roll.
We also added four new Irish pie recipes which are
Michaelmas Pie (Apple & Blackberries), Rhubarb & Raspberry
Pie, Irish Apple Tart and Dark Chocolate Irish
Cream Tart. I love making new recipes that
I have never
tried before. They all had excellent results.
I
have been making a list of several holiday fancy
treats that will be added this month.
There will
be cookies, brownies, bars, fudge, pudding
and snack mix. They will appear in two batches,
both
before
Thanksgiving. This will allow you bakers
out there to have plenty of time to look at all
the goodies.
We
received a nice long letter from Gerry Bohan
telling us all about everything that
is going
on in Mohill
and Co. Leitrim. Teresa and J.P. are both
doing fine, as well as Jim and Phil O'Brien.
Clarke's
new Spirit
Bar is open and doing very well. The restaurant
is in the process of being refurbished
at present. I
had a lovely e-mail from Noel and Maria
McCarter of the Rowan Family Cyclists. They wanted
to give me an update on the success of
their
fundraising
trek for Meningitis Research, which came
to a total
of 10,000 Pounds (approximately $15,000).
Fabulous!
We
have added many new affiliate links where you
can purchase Irish posters or
Irish music,
for example.
You can even book a trip to Ireland!
And, finally, we have added a page of Terry's
favorite Irish
books, including a brief review of each.
Please let us know
how you like the new additions to LittleShamrocks.com.
I would love to hear from you!
Slainte!
Tyna
