Happy St. David's Day!! is anybody here Welsh??

[King Dorado]

so its St. David's Day today, in celebration of the patron saint of Wales, and all things Welsh.

my grandfather always said our namesake ancestor immigrated from Wales to the USA centuries ago. he mighta been English, mighta been Welsh. dunno for sure. but its fun to celebrate St. David's Day, and to make some Welsh rarebit, pots of steaming hot caul, and potato leek soup, and to grab a shot of Welsh single malt whiskey. (oo- checkout my celebratory giveaway on the TBT Market board)

anybody here Welsh??

eh you'll have to make your own, all your ghosties got out of the garage and are crowding my kitchen. (when i said i like spirits, i meant booze!). here's my recipe:

POTATO LEEK SOUP RECIPE

--melt 1 oz butter in soup pot; lightly fry 2 Cups of diced potato in the butter.
--then, add into the soup pot and bring to boil:
2 and 1/2 Cups vegetable or chicken stock; 1 and 1/4 Cups milk; 3 chopped leeks (just the white stalks); pinch of cumin (my americas touch); salt, pepper, celery salt to taste.
--after boil, simmer on low up to 30 minutes, until broth is thick.
--garnish servings with cheese, sour cream, and chives or chopped green leek leaves.

Dydd Gwyl Dewi Sant!

Sounds amazing, I've only have canned potato leek soup and the dry stuff you add hot water too. I'll have to make it during our little cold front coming in during my vacation because it sounds great! For St.Patrick's last year I made potato and carrot cheddar ale soup and it was AMAZING!

I'm not Welsh but very much enjoyed cycling there. The land is beautiful and the people friendly, here's a toast to Wales.

One half of my family are from Wales normally we would go to Borth (in Wales) for the day but we haven't done that for a couple of years now, life gets in the way unfortunately I'll be working today and so will my cousins.
A couple of years ago though we went and took the kids, spent the day walking the dogs on the beach (in the rain and wind, yay) and and ate chips outside this lovely little cafe on the Main Street
I miss those times

 

[King Dorado]

I wish i had a full Welsh breakfast right now! well except for the steamed cockles. and the laverbread cakes. ha ha, i guess it's the generic British full breakfast I be wantin then, but I'd sing like Tom Jones, and wax poetic like Dylan Thomas whilst having it! (I probably will have to settle for an egg mcmuffin...)

 

[mogyay]

i'm not welsh but i love welsh ppl they are cuties, i've only been once but it was very pretty and i hope to go again

 

[ZetaFunction]

I'm part Welsh on my mother's side (it's actually a mix of Welsh/Irish/Scottish/English. we could never figure out for certain which one(s) it is since no one in our family will give us a straight answer)

I've never heard of this holiday though! o: I guess you learn something new everyday.
Happy belated Saint David's Day!

 

[GalacticGhost]

i don't really know if any of my family actually are welsh, but i guess my brother, my sisters and i are technically welsh as we were all born in wales.

i've lived in wales my entire life, though none of my family really does anything for st david's day. .-.

Happy St David's Day

I'm not Welsh, but I've been to Wales a few times, and my parents used to live there before I was born. It's a lovely place.

oh i'm coming to Wales one day, and i'm gonna love it. I'm going to visit Tintern Abbey and imagine I was there in the time of Wordsworth's famous visit. I'm going to check out the Dylan Thomas Centre. I'm gonna tour the Penderyn distillery. I'm gonna eat a full Welsh breakfast (well maybe not that). I'm going to hike and climb. I'm going to breathe the sea salt air at the coast.
