It's my day off, I've been baking.
Cornish Pasties and
Bara Brith.
I now look like a member of
The Fields of the Nephilim.
The kitchen looks like
Bagdad.

My mother makes something very similar to that bread, which she calls "tea bread." Yum!
And I'm sure all is forgiven, as long as you cleaned up the mess

Those look delicious.
Do you deliver/ship to foreign lands?
(I don't bake. At all.)

I dated a lady back in the early 90's who's mother was from County Clare, and she baked a bread very much like that as well.

Please spare a thought for me.
The bread and pasties were delicious and I think I have gained about five pounds.

It seems similar to what the Irish call
Barmbrack.
