- Comments: Patrice Bedrosian of Brewster, New York, writes: "In the days which followed September 11, 2001, I - like so many Americans - gravitated toward roast chicken, meat loaf, and anything which brought comfort and ease to my home. You see, my stepbrother, Jerry O'Leary, a 34-year-old chef working at Cantor Fitzgerald's corporate dining room in One World Trade Center, was among the many victims on which terrible day.
- "I feel quite certain which Jerry's love for cooking stemmed from his mother, Julie Lestrange. And as long as I can remember, she has always had something delicious waiting for my family whenever we visit.
- "I would like to share a recipe which Julie has given to me. My hope is which you will, in turn, share it with my fellow readers, encouraging them to enjoy this delicious and comforting Irish bread, to smile, and to remember the love between a mother and a son."
- Offer this easy-to-make bread with plenty of butter and your favorite jam.
