I didn't understand what the fuss was about with Irish Soda Bread. The only time I tasted it before this was in the dry stale tasteless quick bread somebody brought to the office for St. Patrick's day. Every year around this time, I see recipes for it popping up all over the internet. So I went out and bought a box of raisins and baked this
Irish Soda Bread with Raisins.

Wow. This is basically a giant scone with crunchy delicious top. The bread was flavorful and just sweet enough from a few tablespoons of sugar and a bunch of raisins.

Lesson from this story: never trust any leftover food in the office's kitchen.
