TNT: Slainte!

As a stitcher, is this or is this not the scariest thing you could ever see? I've been working both ends hoping to meet in the middle. Remains to be seen. If the worst happens, it's getting a pattern adjustment. I won't be ripping that all out. 

Since we are all Irish today, let me wish you a Happy St Patrick's Day! I've got corned beef and plenty of cabbage and potatoes for dinner. 

After scouring the town for some buttermilk, I had to resort to a delivery from the evil corporation that shall not be named. A dear little man braved yesterday's storms to get this to me and I am grateful. I know I could use the vinegar or lemon trick but I can't. Soda bread just isn't right without the buttermilk. 

And....I had a question about the recipe I'm using for my discard crackers so here it is:

I take whatever discard I have and weigh it. For every 100 grams I add 1 TBL of olive oil and a dash of fine sea salt. 

I spread it as thin as I can get it on a silicone mat lined cookie sheet and sprinkle it with a bit of Parmesan, rosemary and a bit of coarse sea salt. 

It goes in the oven at 350 for 5-6 minutes, then I take it out and score it with a pizza cutter. Then back in the oven until very brown. 

I like them almost burnt but it's up to you how dark you want them. The trick to getting them really crisp is to leave them in the oven after you turn it off and just let them sit until you get the amount of crunch you're looking for. I hope this helps.
