Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Let’s get the party started. I want everything green – hair, clothes, and food! Everything ;) Well… maybe we don’t have to color the food green. The Irish have so many delicious bakes that work well without additional green food color… Irish Soda Bread, for example. Who would have guessed, right?! Just kidding ;)
When I lived in the U.S. and worked in Florida for the mouse, it was a big deal to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. Every restaurant and bar suddenly found its Irish roots, at the parks the parades and everything else suddenly turned green – Americans really like to decorate everything for their holidays.
In Chicago they even color a river green ;) Everything from decorations to food and drinks was suddenly available in green… and I have to say I liked it! I also like the Incredible Hulk – maybe there is a connection. This has nothing to do with this Irish Apple Cake, but hey… ;)
I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake - for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers - and it seems they like it most of the time ;)
