Hi Pat, Here in Woodside, Queens ther is a store that sells all kinds of Irish groceries, and they carry the Odlum's line of Brown Bread mixes, Soda Bread mixes (white and brown) and plain flours of both types. Many places in Queens where ex-pat Irish live carry these groceries. They are probably available in The Bronx, too....there's a large Irish population there.

Thanks, Jim, for the info. I found Odlums online and ordered flour and the quick bread mix and the are currently in a truck coming from the Bronx via UPS. I should get them Tuesday and will try the quick mix first and get back to the list on the outcome.

Very good, Pat! I hope to listen to your report when you get to use the products. The Oldlum's Brown Bread mix now calls for the addition of milk instead of water - I'm not sure when they changed the formula, but now they suggest using milk. Yeah, the Mets are not very far away from here - just a ride away on the 7 train.....I have not been to Citi Field yet either. I caught a game in 2008 against Chicago at the very end of the season - they won that night, but it didn't help them get into the playoffs. Good luck with the brown bread!

We might have been to the same game, Jim! I went to Tues, Wed & Thurs night games, all against Chicago. The Mets should have won the series but lost one game due to bad base running and others due to pitching (what's new?). I saw my first Mets grand slam in person in one of those games and I have been to many Mets games in NY, Chicago, Denver and San Francisco. I wanted to get to the final games but had tickets to Ireland for Friday night. Not a bad replacement. I'll report to the list sometime next week about the brown bread mix. Thanks for the added info.
