I AM COOKING CORNED BEEF CABBAGE AND SODA BREAD FOR SUPPER
The world's first St. Patrick's Day parade was held in Boston in 1761, organized by the Charitable Society. The first recorded parade[5] was New York City's celebration which began on 18 March1762 when Irish soldiers in the English military marched through the city with their music.[6] The New York parade is the largest, typically drawing two million spectators and 150,000 marchers.[7] The predominantly French-speaking Canadian city of Montreal, in the province of Québec has the longest continually running Saint Patrick's day parade in North America, since 1824;[8]shamrock, in one of its corners. Ireland's cities all hold their own parades and festivals, including Dublin, Cork, Belfast, Derry, Galway, Kilkenny, Limerick, and Waterford. Parades also take place in other Irish towns and villages. The St. Patrick's Day parade in Dublin, Ireland is part of a five-day festival; over 500,000 people attended the 2006 parade.
Real Irish Bread DOES NOT HAVE RAISINS!
"If your "soda bread" has raisins, it's not "soda bread! It's called "Spotted Dog" or "Railway Cake"! If it contains raisins, eggs, baking powder, sugar or shortening, it's called "cake", not "bread." All are tasty, but not traditional Irish Soda Bread!" http://www.sodabread.info/

White Soda Bread
4 cups (16 oz) of all purpose flour.
1 Teaspoon baking soda
1 Teaspoon salt
14 oz of buttermilk
Method:
Preheat the oven to 425 F. degrees. Lightly crease and flour a cake pan.
In a large bowl sieve and combine all the dry ingredients.
Add the buttermilk to form a sticky dough. Place on floured surface and lightly knead (too much allows the gas to escape)
Shape into a round flat shape in a round cake pan and cut a cross in the top of the dough.
Cover the pan with another pan and bake for 30 minutes (this simulates the bastible pot). Remove cover and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
The bottom of the bread will have a hollow sound when tapped so show it is done.
Cover the bread in a tea towel and lightly sprinkle water on the cloth to keep the bread moist.

Umi Pacific Grill Full Moon Party
Different People been after me for some time now to go to Some "Full Moon Party" at a Umi or Uni, turns out its Umi Pacific Grille And its cool! Has a very big city feel, the Dining room is vast, with floor to celing silk room deviders, so it give a private feel to each part of the room, our table was for 10,it was behind black silk, it felt like we had our own private room, The service was great, very well trained staff, I tried the Lobster wanton puff thingys, they were good, served with a 3 sauce set up nicely presented , then i tried the duck spring roll, it was a duck spring roll on watercress, had a good amount of duck in it, great flavor, the duck pieces were a bit large, i prefer mine more Peking style. The buffet, they offer only on Full Moon Party Nights, was nice spread, looked cruise shippish..... had a pork fried rice everyone at our table agreed was the winner, a sweet potato,"or for you Yankees a yam" and onion dish that was unusual and good. I plan to go back for dinner, they had a great wine selection, and the sushi list was to die for, the dinner menu looked like an
adventure so i look forward to going back.or the Full Moon Party they have fire eaters and a few DJ's , a calypso steel band, it was wild i got some video of the fire eaters
