An Irish Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to all my friends in the U.S.!

My good friend, Corey, from the IrishFireside.com compiled a fabulous list of Irish recipes you can use for your Thanksgiving feast (or your Christmas feast, too, if you like).

Here's a few of my favorites from his list:

Irish Fireside Recipes - Corey and Liam's proven recipes
Wee Kitchen - Beautiful images!
The Irish Cook - The images on this site will take you to Ireland
Favorite Irish Recipes - Download an e-book!
Ireland's Eye - Recipes and historic info
20 Favorite Irish Dishes - Can't go wrong with these anytime of the year
Vegetarian Times Irish Food Recipes

Start a new tradition! Try adding one of these recipes to your typical American Thanksgiving and give it an Irish twist. Serve a choice: colcannon or mashed potatoes and gravy. Or try Irish whiskey cake in place of the often-maligned fruit cake. 

Give us your favorite recipe links, and let us know if you'd like to add some Scottish and Welsh recipes links to the list, too.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving! Here's my greeting for you:

Just in Time for the Fall Equinox

In the mood for a good Celtic read? My good friend, Eliseo Maus Pinto, has a new book out, and if you pre-order it by September 29th, you can get 20% off! Eliseo's book, "Wisdom of the Woods--A Unique and Rare Celtic Tree Oracle", will be available for shipping on October 1st.

This book is a labor of love for Eliseo, who has studied Celtic Divination techniques, Druidry, shamanic practices, the Celtic Tree Oracle decks, and the Wheel Board. Learn about many different modes of Celtic divination from this book, which can also be viewed on any Kindle HD devices. 

This book also includes the "Wisdom of the Woods"™ Handbook for the Oracle Deck and Wheel Board, which will be available shortly at The Game Crater.com. 

Learn about Celtic Divination and more from Eliseo's new book. And if you are shopping for Celtic gifts for the upcoming holidays, please visit my website for a vast assortment of Celtic harp music and Celtic jewelry.
