Yes, I know...l think that last year I wrote about St. Patricks life and background, this year I tried to just make the post more fun, but I guess I should have mentioned that he was Italian, thanks maybe I will go in and add that info. I understand what you mean, I have been so busy myself. Spent the weekend at my parents as my dad was not feeling too well. We always try to split ourselves into too many pieces. I love your doughnuts...you should post them again. I haven't been to your new post myself. I am thrilled you enjoyed this post, and thanks for the words, I try to stay on top of the Saints holidays. Thanks for stopping over...<br />Dottie :) Dottiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12088546024012627842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8034365797555822466.post-22444954064427424082015-03-23T01:33:45.776-04:002015-03-23T01:33:45.776-04:00Dear Catherine,

Or should I say Roman parents? <br /><br />It's nice to celebrate traditions such as these two saints, but I've been so rushed and busy, that I completely forgot it was St. Josephs's Day until the day after! I didn't even share my St. Joseph's Day doughnuts on FB! I'm such a twit! You're much more on top of things, I can see!

So you know what it takes to write and look up research. I enjoyed writing this one as it is always nice to write about fun things like St. Patrick's Day. "Sesame Beer Bread" is a nice addition to any yummy meal! I saw this drink and thought of you first. You always have such interesting drinks to share.

I agree with you dear friend, the Irish and the Italians have much in common especially in religion.Remember St. Patrick was really from Italy. I love this bread, especially with the sesame seeds on top. Adds to the flavor..we always use this with soups and salads, or even with a big steak and some veggies. Kind of goes with everything, and not that hard to create. So glad that you enjoyed this post and recipes. Yes, Cin Cin with that Shamrock Shimmy Drink...You as well, have a wonderful week and enjoy your St. Joseph's Day...Enjoy! <br />Dottie :)Dottiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12088546024012627842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8034365797555822466.post-88709335690708107512015-03-17T23:03:40.701-04:002015-03-17T23:03:40.701-04:00Good Evening Nee,

Yes, St. Joesph's Day is Thursday...that should be a fun day as well. Also a day with blessings. Yes, this bread is kind of tradition between, both days. The beer in the bread and the bread for St. Joseph's. I agree I should have one of these Shamrock Shimmy's for sure.

They have a really deep faith even more than the Italians have. <br />I like this bread with baking soda. It is very easy to find it over here and it is really really good! Also this gin drink seems really nice!<br />Have a good week xxx<br />Alidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02852806349180621183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8034365797555822466.post-37320679278029564072015-03-17T00:01:54.568-04:002015-03-17T00:01:54.568-04:00Your blog is amazing!! :)) You are a great writer ...Your blog is amazing!! :)) You are a great writer who obviously has a passion for what they are writing about!
