Taking a Deep Dive into St. Patrick’s Day

Over the summer, I would have the boys try to learn a little about the world. We would choose a country and then look at:

• Where in the world is this country?
• What does their flag look like?
• What is the capital?
• What are their favorite foods to buy and foods to make?
• What bands and musicians have come out of that country?
• What is a brief history of that country?

We did this for England, Australia, Croatia, and Malaysia. I would let them use their computers or ipads and Alexa obliged us with great musical samples.

And so, with our new COVID normal, we are going to work on Ireland today. We are starting off the day with herb scones for breakfast. We will see if I can make another dish later today – the challenge will be working with what I have in the pantry and, guess what, there are no POTATOES, so this might be a tricky one – ha ha!

On a side note, we are still dabbling in the world of plant-based eating, so I substituted coconut milk, CHAO cheese (COSTCO), and plant based butter for the scones – SUCCESS!
