Irish Soda Bread recipe best eaten baked warm

Irish Soda Bread Recipe

It is best eaten freshly baked and warm or toasted.

Irish Bread with Raisins

ingredients
4 cups flour
2 Tbsp sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
4 Tbsp butter
1 cup raisins
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 cups buttermilk
1 Preheat oven to 425°.
Sift together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda into a large mixing bowl.
2 Using a pastry cutter or two knives, work butter into flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal, then stir in raisins.
3 Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Add beaten egg and buttermilk to well and mix in with a wooden spoon until dough is too stiff to stir.
Dust hands with a little flour, then gently knead dough in the bowl just long enough to form a rough ball. If the dough is too sticky to work with, sprinkle in a little more flour.
Do not over knead!
Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and shape into a round loaf.
4 Transfer dough to a large, lightly greased cast-iron skillet or a baking sheet. Using a serrated knife, score top of dough about 1/2'' deep in an "X" shape. Transfer to oven and bake until bread is golden and bottom sounds hollow when tapped with a knife, about 35-45 minutes. Check for doneness also by inserting a long, thin skewer into the center. If it comes out clean, it's done.
Hint 1: If the top is getting too dark while baking, tent the bread with some aluminum foil.
Hint 2: If you use a cast iron skillet to cook the bread in the oven, be very careful when you take the pan out. It's easy to forget that the handle is extremely hot. Cool the handle with an ice cube, or put a pot holder over it.
Transfer bread to a rack to let cool briefly. Serve bread warm, at room temperature, or sliced and toasted.

Stuffed Green Bell Peppers with Rice

STUFF GREEN BELL PEPPER
8 large firm bell peppers (green or red)
3 cups cooked rice
1 egg, well beaten
1/4 lb ground lean pork or beef
3 cloves garlic, pressed
1 large onion, finely chopped or grated
1/2 cup cracker or bread crumbs
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
dash of cayenne pepper
dash of Tabasco (optional)
1 pint tomato puree
4 slices bacon
Mix rice, egg, ground meat, crumbs, garlic which has been put through a garlic press or pureed, salt, pepper and cayenne.
Wash the peppers. Using a paring knife, cut out the top stem in a circle so that the pepper can be filled from the top. Scrape out the core and seeds and discard.
Fill the peppers with the meat mixture and place in a buttered casserole dish with a tiny dash of Tabasco sauce on top, if desired.
Using a kitchen scissors, cut each slice of bacon into 2 long strips, then cut each strip into half (you will have 16 bacon pieces). Drape 2 cut bacon strips over each pepper.
Pour the tomato puree around the bottom of the peppers.
Bake, covered loosely with aluminum foil for 15 minutes at 400°F. Remove the foil and reduce heat to 325°F; continue to bake until peppers are tender and browned (about 1 hour).
Serve peppers with a few spoons of tomato puree over the top and a few spoonfuls around the base.
Makes 8 peppers. Serve some right away and save the rest for the next day (even better reheated!)

Sicilian Cannoli Filled with Ricotta Cheese

Sicilian Cannoli Filled with Ricotta Cheese you will need a food processor and a pasta machine,and a metal tubes or cane or 1.5 inch by 12 inch round empty tin can.
.In food processor fitted with a metal blade, or by hand in a bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, chocolate powder, salt, butter, and enough Marsala wine to obtain a firm and sticky dough. Makes about 26for the cannoli.
ingredients
2 cups (280 gr) flour
1 oz (30 gr) sugar
1 teaspoon chocolate powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 oz (30 gr) butter,
melted 1 cup
(230 cc) dry Marsala wine
1 oz (30 gr) butter,
for brushing
1 egg white
frying oil
for the filling 1 - 1/2 lbs (700 gr) ricotta cheese, drained 1 teaspoon vanilla powder
1/2 lb (225 gr) powdered sugar
4 oz (115 gr) candied fruit, finely diced
2 oz (60 gr) bittersweet chocolate, diced
2 oz (60 gr) powdered sugar, for dusting
To make cannoli you need the metal tubes sold for this purpose. Pieces of cane can also be used, approximately 3/4 inch in diameter and 6 inches long 2 cm in diameter, 15 cm long.Preparing the cannoli shells using a pastry bag or a small spoon, fill the cannoli with the cheese mixture, and garnish the ends with pieces of candied fruit.
Transfer to a lightly floured work surface . . . .
. . . . and knead the dough lightly, adding some flour, a little at the time, until obtaining a smooth dough. Shape the dough as a ball, place on a dish, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside for about 1 hour. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and knead again for few minutes. Place the dough back on the plate, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside for 1 more hour.Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface again, and cut into 3 pieces.
Pass each piece through the pasta machine, starting with the widest number. Repeat the step until number 5 on the dial is reached and thin smooth pasta sheets are obtained. Keep the pasta dough and sheets covered with plastic wrap at all times while working to prevent the dough from drying out too much.
Cut the dough into squares 4 x 4 inch (10 x 10 cm).
Lightly butter the metal tubes.
Wrap the squares around the tubes or cane diagonally. Don't press the dough against the tubes too much; otherwise it will be difficult to remove them afterward.
Wet the overlapping part with the egg white and press on the edges to stick them together
In a saucepan, bring the oil to frying temperature.
Fry the cannoli until golden brown a few at a time.Remove from the pan and transfer on paper towels on a large plate to drain the excess oil briefly.Remove the cannoli shells from the tubes while they are still warm.Repeat the step of forming the cannoli and frying until all the dough is used.
Filling the cannoli, in a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, vanilla, and powdered sugar. Reserve 2 pieces of candied fruit per each cannoli for decoration. Combine the candied fruit and chocolate dice with the cheese filling. Sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.
*** NOTE***It is best to fill the cannoli shortly before serving. If the cannoli are filled too long in advance, the ricotta filling could wet the shells and the cannoli could become soft and soggy. One way to avoid this problem is to brush the inside of the cannoli with chocolate. Once the chocolate is solidified it will insulate the shells from the filling.
Cannoli derive their name from canna=cane because of their tubular shape, and because in the past, before the introduction of the metal tubes, they were shaped around a cane section. They represent the Sicilian dessert par excellence. Typically part of the festivities for carnival mardi gras , in the past cannoli were sent by the dozen as a present to friends. They are now available all year round in pastry shop all around Italy and wherever Sicilians have settled. Cannoli are among the most magnificent Sicilian pastries. The fried wafers are traditionally filled with ricotta cheese sweetened with powdered sugar and added of candied fruit, pistachios, and mint chips.

Stuffed Artichokes with breaded bread crumbs recipe

Stuffed Artichokes with breaded bread crumbs. Italian yes I guess so we use to serve this food for most holiday meals however I did remember that the stuffed artichokes did taste better the day they were cooked they tend to become soggy if refrigerated.
Stuff artichokes are definitely very tasty and can be a fabulous appetizer that could compliment most any meal. One note do include an extra dish to your place setting for guests so that they may use it for discarding artichoke leaves after eating. Also it would be a good idea to include extra napkins or a warm cloth too for each of your guests hands because this side dish could become some what a little messy.
Ingredient.
4 artichokes
75g anchovy fillets
crushed garlic
150g fresh breadcrumbs
50g olives oil
vinegar
parsley
salt and pepper
Directions.
1. Chop the anchovy stem , garlic, olives and parsley and mix with the breadcrumbs.
Add the oil and vinegar and work into a dry paste Season.
2. Wash the whole artichokes and fill between the leaves with this mixture.
3. Place the artichokes upright in a small saucepan.
Half cover them with water and add some oil.
Cover with a lid bring to boil and simmer for 1 hour. Serve hot.

If you are like me, you also heard many "wedding words" through years of attending family and friends weddings, or watching movies and TV dream weddings, and those society at large. So if you're a traditional couple, look at some of these traditional wedding vows.

VOWS
Example Wedding Vow Wording When writing your wedding vows, consider whether you want them to be classic and traditional, such as these:
Do you name, take name to be your lawful wedded wife,husband? each responds, I do. Will you love, respect and honor her, him throughout your years together? each responds, I will.
Or if you want to personalize your wedding vows to reflect your relationship.
These are good examples, although you could certainly get more personal.
REFLECT YOUR UNION

Marriage Vows that reflect your union,or relationship

Wedding Receptions Fabulous Creative Tradional

Wedding receptions aren't just creative or old tradional events planning for the event different receptions for a happy couple.

Torii Gate The gate can be made of plywood, concrete form tubes, 2x4s, cardboard, drywall screws. The gate is actually two parts, upper and lower. The lower part is a 4x8 sheet of plywood, with two tubes. The tubes are screwed in place with small blocks of 2x4. The upper part is two tubes, 2x4s. A small plywood piece on edge forms the ridge. The shingles are just cardboard, painted and stapled in place. The tubes are cut out to allow the cross piece to pass through. The upper and lower parts are screwed together with longer 2x4 blocks inside tube. Built and paint the gate at home. Then with it split into two parts, transported it to the reception site. There it can reassembled and touched up with paint early in the morning . After the wedding, donate or give it away in a newspaper classified
Another wedding plan and Details Making A Wedding Torii Gate
The gate is made of plywood, concrete form tubes, 2x4s, cardboard, drywall screws.
Concrete form tubes are large, round, hollow cylinders that are then filled with concrete to form solid pillars. The ones we used were made out of a very heavy cardboard or other paper based product. There were four of these tubes - two were attached to the plywood sheet to make the base of the gate. The other two were used with the crossbar and roof of the gate. We didn't pour concrete in them, just used the tubes themselves, since they are very sturdy.
The gate is actually two parts, upper and lower. The lower part is a 4x8 sheet of plywood, with two tubes. The tubes are screwed in place with small blocks of 2x4.
A 2x4 is a piece of wood or lumber that measures approximately 2 inches by 4 inches and can be a variety of lengths scrap pieces of 2x4 , as well as some 8 foot lengths
A 4x8 sheet of plywood is a four feet by eight feet, 1/2 inch thick, flat piece of wood product that is normally used in house construction.
Used little blocks of wood, just scrap pieces of 2x4, set in two circles on the plywood to match the inside measurements of the tubes. Then set the tubes over these blocks, after they had been attached to the plywood. Make sure all the pieces are firmly attached to each other to create the base of the gate. The tube walls are not thick enough by themselves,so attach them directly to the sheet of plywood. Use screws instead of nails because the gate would have to be moved several times. Nails tend to pull out much more easily than screws.
The upper part is two tubes, 2x4s. A small plywood piece on edge forms the ridge. The shingles are just cardboard, painted and stapled in place. The tubes are cut out to allow the cross piece to pass through.
For the upper part of the gate, cut vertical slits in those tubes that would allow a 2x4, about 8 feet long, to pass through both of them. The slits are located about one foot or so, down from the top of the tubes. The little vertical piece on the gate is a scrap of 2x4 attached to the middle of this cross piece. The roof of the gate is made of 3 of the 8 foot long 2x4s and some scrap blocks of 2x4.Placed several scrap blocks between two of the 2x4s, spacing them along the length. At least one block should line up with the little vertical piece in the middle of the cross piece. These scrap blocks would have measured almost the same length as the width of the tubes, so when the whole thing is set on top of the tubes, it would cover them and allow other scrap blocks to be used to attach the roof to the tubes in the same way that they were used to attach the other tubes to the sheet of plywood to form the base. The third 2x4 would have been set on top, in the middle of the scrap blocks and on edge ,so it stood 4 inches high. The shingles are just rectangles of cardboard (from packing boxes or shipping boxes), attached to the 2x4s with a electric stapler using heavy duty staples. They are overlapped just like you would see house roof shingles. This would create the angled roof that you see in the picture.
The upper and lower parts are screwed together with longer 2x4 blocks inside tube.
Around the inside of the tubes that are attached to the sheet of plywood, attached several, about one foot long, pieces of 2x4, leaving half of length of the 2x4s sticking up out of the top of the tubes. Then the top half of the gate could be placed over these 2x4s, matching the tubes to each other and sliding the top half down to match the bottom tubes, creating the complete gate.
Cardboard soaks up a lot of paint, so will required several coats.
Torii Gate design ,Shinto, a purely Japanese faith.
As for the red color, Used a red wagon color paint , along with a flat black or Finding a red that would work with the red brocade that is used for a ladies' kimonos, or flowers so they wouldn't clash. Some have suggested that Vermilion or China Red is probably the more authentic color.

Sample Wedding Ceremony and Order of Service

Many couples today are choosing to have a non religious wedding ceremony, or be married by a friend or family member. Yet an important role of the officiate is to give you guidance in crafting your wedding ceremony, often following a predetermined format. If you are going the DIY route, I want to give you advice on creating a memorable and personal wedding ceremony. Most wedding ceremonies contain most of these elements:

Wedding processional or entrance of the bride and groom, and wedding party if applicable
Music, literature, and poetry or wedding readings from the Bible
Attendants or witnesses to sign the wedding certificate or
Marriage License, Wedding Vows, Exchange of wedding rings or gifts
A blessing, benediction, community commitment to support the marriage, or officiates sanction of the marriage , A first kiss as a married couple

Two Aisle Wedding
A wedding processional using two aisles. People tackle the problem of two aisles in a variety of ways. You can choose to only use one aisle, but this means that many of your guests will feel far from the action. I often advise couples to do the processional up one aisle, and the recessional down the other. Another alternative is to have bridesmaids walk up one aisle, and groomsmen up the other. The bride and groom can then each choose an aisle to enter through. A wedding processional with a small bridal party If you only have a few people in your bridal party, it's a good idea to send them up one by one.

For example, if you had a best man, maid of honor, flower girl, and ring bearer this should be the orderGroom takes his place at the front Best man enters, Maid of Honor walks up aisle, Ring Bearer Flower Girl, Bride, with escort if she has one. With such a small wedding party, it's probably not formal enough to warrant a formal seating of the mothers and grandmothers. However, if you still want to do this, let the best man seat the grandmothers and the groom seat the mothers as part of their entrances.

For a non-denominational ceremony, a secular ceremony, or a non-traditional ceremony, you can either borrow liberally from one of these traditions, or make up your own rules. In all cases, the bride traditionally stands on the left, and the groom on the right. This dates back to medieval times when the groom might need to defend his bride in the middle of the ceremony, and wanted to leave his right hand, his sword hand, free. While few grooms even carry a sword anymore, the tradition has lasted.

Jewish wedding processional, the order goes something like this:The Rabbi and,or cantor grandparents of the bride, who are then seated in the first row Grand parents of the groom, who are then seated in the first row Groomsmen, walking in pairs Best man The groom, who is escorted by his parents. Brides maids Maid or Matron of Honor Ring bearer and,or flower girl The bride, escorted by her parents

Catholic wedding processional The priest, groom, and best man enter through a side door and wait at the altar. The grooms men and brides maids walk down in pairs, starting with the two who will stand farthest from the bride and groom, and ending with the best man and maid of honor. The ring bearer and or flower girl. The bride and her father, or other close family member. The bride walks on the left side. If the bride's escort is her father, he leads her to the front of the aisle, then takes his seat next to the bride's mother

Protestant wedding, this is the traditional order of a wedding processional:The mothers of the bride and groom are seated after all guests are seated, and immediately before the start of the processional music. They are usually escorted to their seats by a brother of the bride or groom, or by another usher. After they are seated, the officiates, groom and best man enter by a side door and wait at the altar. Groomsmen may also enter by a side door, or can escort the bridesmaids. Bridesmaids, Ring bearer and or flower girl ,Maid or Matron of Honor.The bride, escorted by her father or other close male family member or friend. At the front of the aisle, her escort can remain standing with her until the minister asks ,Who gives this woman in marriage? to which he responds I do or Her mother and I do. However, some people feel this tradition is old fashioned and sexist, and choose to forgo it. In such a case, her escort walks with the bride to the front of the aisle, and then takes his seat in the front row

Meaningful Unity Traditions to Include in Your Wedding Ceremony
Unity candle ceremony or similar tradition in your wedding? Gaining in popularity, some of these are recent innovations, while others are cultural traditions that go back hundreds and hundreds of years. The Unity Candle: one of the most common ceremonies. The bride and groom each take a lit candle and simultaneously light a third larger "unity candle." They may blow out their individual lights, or leave them lit, symbolizing that they have not lost their individuality in their unity. Stores are now selling elaborate unity candle setups, including a candelabra that holds the central unity candle higher than the others. You may also have your unity candle personalized with your names and the date, allowing it to be a keepsake from your wedding.

Creative Party plans and wedding event themes for a marriage ceremony
Variations: All guests are given a candle, and the first guest's is lit. Guests pass the flame until all are lit, and then the bride and groom together light their unity candle. This variation typically includes a proclamation that this ceremony represents the unity of friends and family supporting the couple in their marriage.

Rose Ceremony: A simple unity ceremony where the bride and groom exchange roses. Other variations: the families exchange roses, the bride and groom exchange roses with their families, the bride and groom exchange roses, then present their mothers with the roses.

Wine Ceremony: The bride and groom each take a carafe of wine and pour it into a single glass, which they both drink from.

Water Ceremony: The couple each pour a different colored water into a single glass, creating a third color.

Sand Ceremony: similar to the water ceremony, the bride and groom both pour different colored sand into a glass.

Salt Ceremony: Indian weddings often include a salt ceremony, where the bride passes a handful of salt to her groom without spilling any. He then passes it back to her and the exchange is repeated three times. She then performs the salt exchange with all the members of the groom's family, symbolizing her blending in with her new family.
Breaking Bread Ceremony: The bride and groom tear off pieces of bread, and then each eat a piece. Sometimes the bread is also shared with family and friends. It symbolizes their future as a family together.

Garland Ceremony or Lei Ceremony: The bride and groom exchange garlands of flowers. This is a common part of Indian weddings, where the ceremony is called varmala or jaimala, and represents a proposal by the bride and acceptance by the groom. It also represents their new unity, blessed by nature. In Hawaiian weddings, the bride and groom typically exchange leis. The families may also exchange leis with the couple. Leis represent the love and respect you have for the person you are giving it to, and the unity of the new family.

Circling: In Eastern European ceremonies, the bride and groom circle the altar three times, which are their first steps together as husband and wife. In Hindu ceremonies, couples circle the fire seven times, sealing their bond. The unbroken circle represents the unbroken commitment to each other.

Broom Jumping: An African-American tradition that has its roots in slavery times when slaves couldn't marry. Typically the family places the broom on the ground, and the bride and groom jump over it together. The broom can then decorate a place of honor in their home.

Lasso Ceremony: Lasso or rope is placed around the bride and groom's shoulders, usually by the officiate. Sometimes rosary beads, or orange flowers are used instead of rope. It can also be placed around the couple's necks, or wrists.

Torii Gate: The gate to a Shinto shrine (Jinja), the Torii designates holy ground. As Shinto is a religion of worship of nature spirits, or Kami, most Shinto shrines are located outdoors. The Gate marks the gateway between the physical and spiritual worlds, and is often the only indication that one is entering a shrine.
The Torii is traditionally made in three pieces, three being a sacred number of the Kami. When entering a shrine, a visitor will clap their hands three times, and bow three times to summon the spirits.

Tiger lilies represent future prosperity. Tulips are a symbol of love and passion. Violets are a symbol of faithfulness, loyalty and wisdom. Wisterias represent a sense of welcoming.
Why It May Be Important
Many people tend to base their decisions of which flowers that they wish to have in their weddings on what they represent. Majority of the time, however, the people who base their decisions off of this do it because it tends to run within their families as traditions which have been passed down over time. Whether you decide to choose a certain flower because of what it is known to symbolize, or if it is because you simply like the flower, just make sure that whatever flower or flowers that you pick is beautiful.

14 oz flour
Water
A pinch of salt
2 oz soft shortening
2 oz margarine

Filling:
14 oz ricotta
4 eggs
A pinch of salt
Pepper

Put the flour in a mixing bowl, add enough water to make a stiff dough.
Beat (in electric mixer) on medium speed until smooth. If the pastry is
at all sticky add more flour.
Roll the pastry out 1/8" thick on a floured board, spread the shortening
over the whole surface, using the hands. Roll up as for Swiss roll.
Now roll the pastry out again - spread it this time with margarine. When
ready for use roll it out for the third time.
Make the filling. Mash the ricotta with a fork, add the salt and the
unbeaten eggs.
The pastizzi may now be made into little tartlets in round tartlet cases
or they may be cut in the same way as ravioli.
Bake in a hot oven (400 degrees) for 20-25 minutes or until risen and
golden brown.
N.B. The most popular pastizzi are made with ricotta, but there are also two other varieties; one made with peas and onions and the other with anchovy.

Irish Soda Bread Recipe

Irish Soda Bread Recipe
It is best eaten freshly baked and warm or toasted.
4 cups flour,
2 Tbsp sugar
1 teaspoon salt,
1 teaspoon baking soda,
4 Tbsp butter,
1 cup raisins,
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 cups buttermilk

#1 -Preheat oven to 425°.
Sift together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda into a large mixing bowl.
#2 -Using a pastry cutter or two knives, work butter into flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal, then stir in raisins.
#3- Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Add beaten egg and buttermilk to well and mix in with a wooden spoon until dough is too stiff to stir.
Dust hands with a little flour, then gently knead dough in the bowl just long enough to form a rough ball. If the dough is too sticky to work with, sprinkle in a little more flour.
Do not over knead!
Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and shape into a round loaf.
#4- Transfer dough to a large, lightly greased cast-iron skillet or a baking sheet. Using a serrated knife, score top of dough about 1/2'' deep in an "X" shape. Transfer to oven and bake until bread is golden and bottom sounds hollow when tapped with a knife, about 35-45 minutes. Check for doneness also by inserting a long, thin skewer into the center. If it comes out clean, it's done.

Hint 1: If the top is getting too dark while baking, tent the bread with some aluminum foil.
Hint 2: If you use a cast iron skillet to cook the bread in the oven, be very careful when you take the pan out. It's easy to forget that the handle is extremely hot. Cool the handle with an ice cube, or put a pot holder over it.
Transfer bread to a rack to let cool briefly. Serve bread warm, at room temperature, or sliced and toasted.
