I love the random measurements! I always think handed down recipes are the best kind, they are little pieces of history. I have never made soda bread but the thought of it with butter and a little sugar..yum. Childhood comfort food.

The tines were all worn down to nubs! Dad told my daughter these were "magic" forks. love that ;) Enjoy your weekend Bee!
