And They Say the Irish Can’t Cook!

March 30, 2015April 2, 2015 Jeanne Charters Leave a comment Blog

The Irish are not known for their cuisine. But if you can beat this cake for making guests jovial, I’ll eat your yarmulke.   I credit Lulu O’Grady for it because she was an Irish tart in my hometown. When Lulu jumped in Buck Creek and killed herself, my mother thought it was over an […]
