a
chance

learn
about
the
significance
of

it's
in
the
significance
of

B
Kermy
lemagas
Barbara
August
on
asaram
I'm.
Shutting
you
thank
you
so
much
Barbara
for
inviting
me
I'm
very,
very
happy
to
be
here
today
and
what
a
wonderful
initiative
to
have
this
series
of
events
celebrating
the
the
immigrant
experience
and
in
Boston
and,
of
course,
really
really
happy
that
today
is
Ireland
day
I'm
a
relatively
new
arrival
in
Boston
myself.
B
I
can
really
see
why
it's
it's
a
wonderful
place
and
I'm
very,
very
happy
to
be
here
and
I'm
so
glad
that
you're
having
this
particular
day
to
celebrate
as
the
the
Ireland
image
immigrant
community,
which
has
made
I,
think
a
pretty
significant
contribution
to
the
to
the
history
of
Boston
I
mean
Ireland
the
consulate
in
Ireland
we're
celebrating
our
90th
year
here
in
Boston,
it's
one
of
our
very
oldest
diplomatic
missions
and
I
think
it's
got.
That
is
because
Ireland
and
Boston
this
part
of
the
world
have
such
a
significant
historical
relationship
relationship.
B
Irish
immigrants
have
been
coming
to
Boston
and
unto
the
u.s.
for
hundreds
of
years,
of
course,
but
it
was
sort
of
the
huge
waves
of
immigration
started
coming
in
the
years
after
the
Great
Famine
of
the
of
the
1840s.
That
was
an
event
that
profoundly
shaped
Irish
history
I
think
it
also
shapes
the
history
of
Massachusetts
and
New
England
in
general,
and
many
of
those
who
came.
We
are
very
fortunate
that
many
of
those
who
came
here
and
made
their
own
here
and
contributed
to
the
to
the
us
also
kept
those
links
with
Ireland.
B
They
continued
to
celebrate
the
Irish
culture,
Irish
history,
their
links
with
the
Irish
language,
and
they
also
be
able
to
kept
a
keen
interest
in
events
at
home
and
which
was
greatly
to
Ireland's
benefit.
Just
a
couple
of
weeks
ago,
we
had
here
in
Boston
at
the
Edward
M
Kennedy
Institute,
for
the
United
States
Senate.
We
marked
the
centenary
of
the
visit
of
to
Boston
of
one
Eamon
de
Valera,
who
was
to
go
on
and
become
the
future
president
and
prime
minister
of
Ireland.
B
He
came
to
Boston
in
1919
to
make
the
case
for
Irish
independence
and
he
addressed
a
crowd
at
Fenway
Park
about
50,000
people,
which
just
goes
to
show
you
plug
back
in
those
days.
How
many
people
in
in
Boston,
where
of
Irish
descent
I'm,
are
interested
in
Ireland
affairs
and
and
that
contribution
of
Irish
America
has
continued
to
this
day.
I
mean
Irish,
America
politicians
here
in
this
part
of
the
world,
they
were
so
instrumental
in
Irish
history
and
bringing
about
things
like
you
know
the
Good
Friday
Agreement
to
play
key
roles.
B
I
was
up
in
Maine
and
earlier
this
week,
and
we
were,
we
were
celebrating
the
contribution
of
Maine
senator
George
Mitchell,
who
had
who
had
links
with
with
connemara,
and
he
is
key
role
in
bringing
about
the
Good
Friday
Agreement
and
the
Irish
peace
process.
So
it
is.
This
is
the
the
Irish
immigrants
who
came
to
this
part
of
the
world.
They
have
maintained
their
links
with
Ireland.
B
It's
looking
to
to
double
its
impact,
the
impact
of
Ireland
around
the
world
and
including
by
opening
new
embassies
and
new
consulates
around
the
world
and
in
the
United
States
later
this
year,
we're
going
to
open
a
consulate
in
Los,
Angeles
and
next
year
in
Miami,
and
we
have
more
consulates.
We
have
our
embassy.
Of
course,
we've
got
more
consulates,
Irish
consulates
in
the
United
States
than
we
do
in
any
other
country
in
the
world
and
I
think
that's
you
know.
B
It
really
brings
home
how
important
to
this
country
and
the
links
between
Ireland
and
America
are
to
us.
So
I'm
really
really
happy
to
see
that,
but
I
mean
bringing
it
back
to
Boston
and
that
90
years
that
we've
been
here
I
mean
I
think
that
there
is
no
other
country
than
the
u.s..
That
is
that
is
such
a
unique
relationship
for
us
in
Ireland,
but
like
if
you
were
to
take
all
of
the
US
there's
no
place
like
Boston
I
mean
Boston
really
is
the
heart
of
that
are
an
American
relationship.
B
B
So
that's
been
a
huge
change
over
the
past
generation
and
including
actually
my
own
husband
who
came
from
Poland,
because
we
have
lots
of
EU
citizens
living
in
Ireland
now,
and
it's
really
changed
our
country
for
the
better
we've
become
a
much
richer
and
more
diverse
country,
and
because
those
people
we
are
looking
at
those
people
have
chosen
to
call
our
love
their
home.
So
it
is.
B
A
Join
me,
and
speaking
from
the
heart
and
really
speaking
about
perhaps
what
really
resonates
with
all
our
groups
that
have
all
these
ethnic
communities
that
have
come
to
this
great
country
and
each
making
a
contribution
to
the
quality
of
life
well
to
their
own
country
of
origin,
extraordinary
way,
I'm
sure
touching
each
of
our
hearts.
So
thank
you
and
we
agree
with
you.
The
work
of
the
Irish
international
immigration
center
is
extraordinary.
A
We
when
I
say
we
the
foundation
is
going.
Is
the
the
center
is
one
for
organizations
serving
immigrants
and
refugees
that
we're
going
to
be
honoring
at
an
event
that
we're
doing
in
September
celebrating
the
contributions
of
our
nation's
immigrants
and
the
benefit
is
to
raise
funds
to
be
able
to
support
the
endow
fund
for
the
parks
care.
Also,
you
are
very
much
a
part
of
an
event,
a
program
that
we're
so
very
proud
of.
A
It
means
so
much
to
us
and
that's
the
new
citizens,
Welcome
Reception,
that
we
host
here
in
October
October
17th
following
the
naturalization
ceremony
at
Faneuil
Hall.
So
if
any
of
you
would
like
to
be
a
greeter
to
help
us
warmly
welcome,
as
so
many
of
you
already
do
and
join
the
Elliot
schoolchildren,
we
would
love
that
as
well.
So
with
sheer
joy
and
pleasure,
join
me
in
welcoming
an
extraordinary
leader
in
our
community
that
we
are
very
proud
of
as
well
Ronnie,
Miller
and
I'm
going
to
ask
you
to
introduce
anne-marie
bird.
C
Thank
you
so
much
Barbara
and
consul-general
Lisa
for
your
wonderful
kind
words.
My
name
is
Ronnie
Miller,
the
executive
director
of
the
Irish
international
immigrant
Center,
here
in
Boston
and
I'm,
really
honored
and
delighted
to
be
here
today
to
share
a
wee
bit
of
our
story
of
the
center.
What
we
do
and
just
may
be
my
one
personal
story
of
emigrating
to
the
United
States
I'm,
never
going
to
hear
from
my
colleague,
Ann
Marie
Byrne
who's,
going
to
share
her
story
of
immigration
and
how
she
came
to
the
United
States.
C
Our
vision
and
our
sort
of
mission
is
to
be
working
towards
a
city
where
all
are
welcomed
and
valued
and
enjoy
equal
opportunities
and
protections
so
we're
a
port
Natasha,
a
port
na
falsi,
a
port
of
welcomes
for
immigrant
families
who
are
arriving-
and
you
have
been
here
and
our
sort
of
work-
is
about
helping
families
integrate
successfully
into
society.
Here,
right
so
30
years
ago,
sister
Lena
Divi,
who
was
a
social
worker
in
Dublin,
emigrated
to
the
United
States.
C
She
did
an
amazing
sort
of
dissertation
study
of
the
challenges
that
Irish
immigrants
had
in
the
1980s.
There
have
been
waves
of
immigrants
have
come
through
always
tied
to
economic
crisis
and
so
forth
and
lena
realized
and
other
Irish.
Immigrant
emigrants
realized
that,
first
and
foremost,
these
immigrants
needed
access
to
legal
services
to
be
able
to
get
status
right
to
be
able
to
get
permanent
status
here.
C
To
get
a
worketh,
Ora,
T
and
Lena
was
able
to
organize
a
group
of
immigration
attorneys
to
show
up
in
an
Irish
pub
on
a
Monday
night
and
Brighton,
and
to
this
day,
30
years
later,
we
are
showing
up
in
an
Irish
pub
here
in
Brighton
and
providing
legal
services
we're
in
a
health
center
in
South
Boston,
a
church
basement
in
Dorchester
and
our
own
Welcome
Center
is
on
State
Street.
It's
a
wonderful,
vibrant,
Welcome
Centre,
and
we
provide
immigration,
legal
services,
wellness
services
and
education
programs.
So
we
have
attorneys
on
staff.
C
That's
what
we're
all
about
we're,
helping
Irish
immigrants
and
families
from
Central
America
from
hearing
from
Africa
from
all
over
the
world,
a
hundred
and
twenty
different
nations,
so
we're
certain
it's
a
it's
an
honor
for
30
years
to
be
part
of
the
immigrant
journey
and
the
immigrant
story
here
in
Boston,
and
we
operate
from
a
place
of
sort
of
Irish
sort
of
values
of
hospitality.
Has
anybody
been
to
Ireland
here?
C
So
part
of
my
own
story
is
that
I
came
from
Ireland
25
years
ago,
when
many
immigrants
come
for
different
reasons
and
all
kinds
of
sort
of
reasons
for
leaving
their
home
country,
leaving
their
families
being
uprooted
from
your
family,
from
your
friends
from
your
hole
in
the
upper
hurdle
people.
So
many
different
reasons
for
coming.
You
know,
leaving
your
country
right
and
leaving
your
family
and
that
I
grew
up
in
Belfast
in
Northern,
Ireland
and
Maurice
from
the
south,
from
the
Republic
of
Ireland
I'm
from
Northern
Ireland
and
in
nineteen.
C
C
C
Through
all
of
that,
it
was
just
a
really
sort
of
interesting
sort
of
navigation.
Of
all
of
that,
right,
I
was
very
fortunate
and
blessed
to
be
employed
by
an
American
computer
company
and
I
was
able
to
start
an
apprenticeship
sort
of
fixing
small
desktop
computers.
Computers
were
just
on
the
rise
and
I
was
able
to
work
for
Digital,
Equipment,
Corp,
raishin
and
really
through
that
experience
of
working
for
an
American
company
and
falling
in
love
with
a
very
beautiful
American
woman
who
was
studying
in
Dublin,
decided
to
move.
C
You
know
the
war
had
been
going
on
for
nearly
30
years.
There
was
no
sight
of
the
end
of
that.
The
sectarianism
was
really
just
in
the
whole
sort
of
in
also
all
parts
of
life
there
so
I
you
know
was
in
my
20s
decided
to
sort
of
to
give
this
a
go
and
I
remember,
arriving
in
in
Boston
with
just
my
my
suitcase
right
and
only
knowing
one
person,
and
that
was
my
fiancee
kelly
landing
here
with.
C
You
know
very
well
sort
of
the
idea
of
what
to
do,
and
you
know
where
to
go
in
that
so
but
at
all
you
know
that's
sort
of
arrival.
Those
first
few
days,
even
though
I
realized
that
I
with
the
color
of
my
skin
and
having
English's
in
language
I,
am
tremendously
privileged
and
had
such
in
comparison
to
so
many
others
such
an
easy
transition.
Here
today
to
the
United
States,
but
again
every
immigrant.
C
I
love
you
so
I
was
her
deputy
for
a
couple
years
and
I
for
the
last
eight
years
have
been
the
director
of
the
center.
So
you
know
this
is
these
times
that
we're
living
in
are
so
important
that
we
all
stand
together.
The
Irish
of
a
wonderful
saying
that
we
live
in
each
other's
shelter
and
I
believe
that
firmly
that
we're
all
in
this
together,
regardless
of
which
country
we
came
from
which
boat
we
arrived
and
we're
all.
C
In
the
same
as
Martin
Luther
King
says
we're
all
in
the
same
boat
right
now
right
and
we
need
to
stand
together
in
these
times
and
in
solidarity.
You
know,
I
was
reminded
recently
in
Deer
Island
on
Boston
Harbor.
You
know
there
were
800
Irish
immigrants
detained
in
a
detention
center
from
a
baby
of
one
years
of
age,
up
to
80
area
8,800
passed
away.
Tonight
they
were,
they
could
see
Boston,
but
they
were
not.
This
was
an
1847.
They
were
not
allowed
to
come
into.
C
The
port
they
were
in
quarantine
were
not
allowed
to
come
into
the
port
of
Boston,
so
we've
been
here
before
right,
World
War,
two,
the
Japanese
internment
camps.
These
are
trying
testing
time
for
immigrant
families
really
privileged
to
be
here
with
you
today
and
I'm.
Just
encourage
us
all
to
sort
of
keep
sort
of
standing
together,
working
together
for
a
city
where
all
are
welcomed
and
valued
and
enjoy
equal
opportunities
and
protections.
C
I'm
really
honored
I
have
the
best
job
in
the
world
have
been
in
the
center
for
nearly
nine
years
and
honest
to
goodness,
a
really
love
coming
in
to
work
every
day,
because
I
get
to
work
with
amazing,
dedicated
smart,
committed
people
and
I'm,
not
a
bird
is
husband
at
the
center.
For
so
tell
your
whole
story,
but
she's
one
of
our
wonderful
colleagues,
since
he's
going
to
share
her
story
about
how
she
came
to
America.
Let's
give
aunt
Maria
a
welcome.
D
Shut
up,
okay,
hi,
everyone
warning
and
Thank
You
Barbara
for
inviting
us
to
be
part
of
this
wonderful,
wonderful
event
and
thanks
Ronnie
for
the
amazing
introduction,
and
so
my
name
is
Emery
Berean
and,
as
Ronnie
said,
I've
been
at
the
center
for
a
long
time.
So
I
emigrated
to
Boston
and
back
in
December
2000,
and
it
wasn't
my
intention,
which
it's
a
little
bit
of
a
different
story
from
other
people,
but
I,
guess
that
in
a
minute,
I
didn't
realize.
D
I
was
immigrating
at
the
time
and
so
to
go
back
to
where
it
all
started
and
I'm
from
Ireland.
Hence
the
accent
and
I
was
born
and
lived
in
a
County
in
Ireland
called
County
Longford.
So
when
I
say
that
here
in
the
US
and
even
if
I
say
to
Irish
people,
the
immediate
question
effort
is:
where
is
that
and
I
even
get
that
from
Irish
people?
And
then
the
next
question
the
guy
from
Irish
people
is,
and
is
that
a
County?
D
So
as
you
can
imagine
it's
it's
one
of
those,
it's
right
in
the
Midlands
of
Ireland
and
there
isn't
a
lot
going
on.
I
mean
I
love.
It
it's
a
hidden
gender
there's,
lots
of
beautiful
sights,
but
in
terms
of
tourist
attractions
and
having
a
good
hurling
and
football
team
in
Ireland,
which
is
very
important.
D
This
is
a
long
story,
but
I
try
and
keep
it
short.
Our
family
always
had
a
history
of
aberrations
Boston,
because
my
dad
who's
from
County
Leitrim,
another
forgotten,
can
see
in
our
my
mom
is
from
Galway,
which
everyone
knows.
That's
good
whoo
and
they
actually
immigration
here
years
ago
to
different
parts
of
the
US,
but
both
ended
up
in
Boston
met.
Each
other
fell
in
love,
got
married
in
Dorchester
in
sentence
and
then
moved
back
to
Ireland
and
had
four
kids,
so
that
was
gun.
D
D
Once
I
went
to
the
embassy
before
I
was
18
in
Oregon,
so
I
definitely
had
that
advantage
coming
here
and
so
back
to
me,
coming
here
in
December,
2000
I
came
to
visit
my
family,
who
I
mentioned
the
number
of
them
live
here
and
I
came
for
three
weeks,
so
it's
nearly
nineteen
years
later
and
I'm
still
here
so
again,
I
remember
the
apartment
I've
been
living
in
and
my
friends
and
everything
at
the
time
to
them.
I
was
like
okay,
see
in
three
weeks,
I
fully
intended
returning
home
after
three
weeks.
D
So
it
kind
of
made
the
goodbyes
easier
because
it
didn't
actually
realize
I
was
leaving
kind
of
permanently.
So
there
was
less
tears
and
was
probably
in
hindsight
was
a
lot
better
for
all
of
them,
and
why
am
I
still
here
now?
That's
the
question.
Why
am
I
still
here
and
the
reason
is
honestly
I
was
probably
here
about
a
week
or
two
and
someone
told
me
about
I-
think
she'd
go
in
today.
This
place
called
the
Irish
Center
in
downtown
Boston
and
I
was
only
just
hearing.
D
It's
like
oh
I've,
never
heard
of
those,
and
so
my
friend
took
me
down
turns
out
after
time.
The
Irish
immigration
center
and
it
was
based
at
59
temple
place,
remember
well,
so
went
in
and
immediately
I
loved
the
feeling
there
I
love
staff.
Everyone
was
friendly.
The
staff,
the
volunteers
and
I
just
came
in
to
come
and
say
hello
and
get
some
leads
on
housing
and
jobs.
D
I'm
gonna
see
what's
up
and
but
going
in
that
day
to
that
Center
and
changed
everything
for
me,
I
I,
honestly,
don't
think
if
I
went
in
there,
that
I
would
have
probably
settled
and
decided
to
stay,
and
so
that
was
good.
That
I
was
told
about
the
center,
but,
as
it
turns
out,
then
I
hadn't
intended
working
there,
but
as
it
turns
out
one
of
the
other
girls
who
was
under
section
there
at
the
time
she
was
from
ARMA,
she
was
leaving
the
next
day.
So
she
got
chatting
to
her.
D
Everything
was
great
and
then
went
home,
not
thinking
anything
and
just
happens.
Leave
my
resume
that
afternoon
I
got
a
call
from
a
lady
called
bunny.
Dwyer,
honey,
Kirby,
remembers
bunny
and
asking
me
what
I
like
to
work
at
the
center.
So
I
was
like
yep
I
knew
if
I
didn't
end
up
working.
There
I'd
volunteer
there
because
it
was
just
just
I,
just
loves
the
feeling,
and
it's
still
the
same
feeling
today.
D
What
I
loved
is
that
every
day,
we'd
have
lots
of
Irish
people
coming
in,
so
I
didn't
feel
homesick
because
they
all
have
enough
people
I
didn't
need
many
people
from
long
trip,
but
that
was
okay.
I
was
fine
with
that.
I
did
means
a
lot
actually
that
I've
got
to
be
bringing
you
from
dawn
to
college
in
that
alone
and
Kathy
Westmead.
D
It
was
really
unique
to
me
and
then
I'd
have
people
coming
in
then,
at
the
time
it
was
like
kzk
prayer
and
Brazilians
and
Mali
people
from
countries
that
I
probably
never
heard
of
we're
coming
in,
and
so
the
overall
experience,
the
Irishness
to
kind
of
you
know
help
with
my
homesick
nothing's.
Like
you
know,
relate
to
and
have
the
crack
as
they
say,
and
also
then
getting
to
know,
people
from
all
over
the
world.
I
don't
know
if
I've
met
people
from
all
126
countries,
but
probably
pretty
close.
D
D
In
our
events,
volunteering,
which
is
Leo
they're
all
recruiting
volunteers,
we
have
a
number
of
Irish
and
Irish
Americans
who
volunteer
with
us
too.
So
I
do
feel
privileged
that
I'm
in
the
position
to
have
the
more
vulnerable
Irish
community
here
in
Boston
and
I'm,
really
happy
to
be
able
to
do
that
in
any
way.
I
can
and
that's
kind
of
I
know
on
your
flyer
Barbara.
It
was
like
celebrating
what
unites
us
and
just
one
quick
story.
I
wanted
to
tell
was
as
part
of
our
programming,
we
do
a
lot
of
cross
cultural
events.
D
I
think
I
was
here
three
weeks
when
I
went
to
my
first
black
and
green
event,
which
is
which
is
amazing
after
I
think
27
years
we
still
do
now.
It's
a
testament.
It's
the
Irish
international
immigrants
Center
and
the
months
regice
fires
every
year
do
an
event
called
black
and
green
and
was
basically
started
to
bring
people
from
all
different
backgrounds
together
and
I.
D
Remember
going
to
my
first
one:
I
loved
it
I
loved
the
music
I
loved
the
food,
but
when
they
put
out
the
stickers
and
started
sticking
them
saying
sticker
on
your
forehead
and
breaking
into
groups
to
talk
that
was
new
to
me.
Having
just
come
from
errands
like
what
so
I
kind
of
quickly
sit
at
the
door
or
I'll
be
honest,
was
like
yeah
I
mines
this
and
what
I've
learned
that,
obviously,
probably
the
session
at
the
time
was
a
bit
too
new.
D
For
me,
bus
I've
learned
that
it's
really
important
and
to
get
to
know
each
other,
and
it
wasn't
that
I
didn't
want
to
get
to
know
people,
but
is
this
whole
thing
I've
been
on
the
spotlight
a
sticker
on
my
head
and
stuff
like
that
yeah,
but
because
of
that,
since
I've
attended
many
events
and
it's
very
much
part
of
our
makeup
and
having
events
that
bring
all
immigrants
together,
everyone
has
gone
through
their
own
stuff.
But
it's
really
important
to
set
aside
time
to
have
events.
D
I
just
have
chill-out
time
for
all
they
come
together
and
just
talk
about
be
number
one.
Alright,
if
you
want
to
talk
talk,
that's
fine
having
food
from
different
countries,
all
are
different
countries
having
like
songs
and
we're
different
countries.
I
remember
the
event
called
what
it's
home.
It
was.
What
the
theme
was
one
of
the
events,
and
it
was
basically,
there
was
people
from
all
over
the
world.
D
But
in
these
trying
trying
times
there
is
so
much
that
still
unites
us,
and
we
do.
We
need
to
remember
that,
and
we
need
to
work
on
this,
continue
to
work
on
that
as
Ronnie
said,
and
keep
having
these
events
and
keep
bringing
people
together
and
keep
showing
America
her
grace,
all
immigrants
are
and
what
they
contribute
to
the
u.s..
So
that's
pretty
much
it
I
think
I
probably
went
a
little
bit
over
the
time
Barbara.
Thank
you
so
much
for
having
me
today.
A
E
Good
welcome
those
of
you
who
came
in
from
the
park
welcome
to
those
of
you,
who've
never
been
here
before
welcome
to
all
of
you
who
are
returning
to
us
for
the
umpteenth
time.
To
those
of
you
who
know
me,
my
name
is
Cleo
and
I
am
the
education
and
operations
manager.
Here
in
this
kitchen
space,
we
are
the
kitchen
at
Boston,
Public
Market,
run
by
an
organization
called
the
trustees.
Anybody
in
here
familiar
with
the
trustees
excellent.
Thank
you
so
much.
E
The
trustees
is
the
oldest
land
trust
here
in
America,
the
largest
one
in
Massachusetts
we
have
a
hundred
and
eighteen
properties
all
over
the
state,
and
most
of
them
are
parks.
Oh
yeah,
thanks
for
your
membership
parks,
farms,
historic
homes,
places
like
Crane,
Beach
or
World's,
End
or
Appleton
farms
for
us
to
go
out
and
experience
nature
here
in
this
kitchen
space.
E
What
we're
doing
is
building
a
Boston
community,
so
people
who
kind
of
learn
about
how
food
impacts
every
single
aspect
of
our
lives
and
also
how
it
brings
us
together,
which
is
what
we're
doing
in
here
today,
with
this
program,
called
celebrating
what
unites
us?
How
many
of
you
have
been
here
before
for
this
program?
Oh
wow,
thank
you.
So
much.
Welcome
back.
This
program
is
a
collaborative
effort
between
the
Armenian
Heritage
Park,
where
most
of
you,
this
came
from.
E
E
F
I
am
hi
everyone,
I'm
Andrea,
nice,
to
see
everybody
here
today.
Let
me
know
if
you
kind
of
hear
me
I'll
project,
my
voice
a
little
more,
but
we
are
making
a
traditional
fish
chowder,
which
is
obviously
popular
in
Ireland
being
an
island.
We
have
access
to
a
lot
of
fish
and
we
are
going
to
be
serving
that
with
some
brown,
bread
or
whole
wheat,
bread
which
actually
Cleo
baked
off
earlier.
F
F
I'm
gonna
start
prepping
as
I
talk,
if
that's
okay,
so
the
ingredients
that
we're
using
the
first
thing
is
obviously
some
Irish
butter
which
I
have
here
you'll
see
a
whole
top
of
it
over
there.
So
the
Kerrygold
butter
to
give
it
you
know
some
good
flavor
so
from
our
grass-fed
cows
back
home,
so
butter
onions,
another
good
Irish
staple
our
potatoes,
so
they're
kind
of
the
basis
of
our
stalks
and
vegetable
stock
as
well,
and
then
the
fish
that
we're
using.
F
We
are
using
salmon
haddock,
Cod
and
some
smoked
haddock,
which
is
very
popular
back
home,
especially
the
smoked
haddock.
So
does
everybody
here
eat
fish,
chowder,
yeah,
okay,
yeah
so,
and
I
generally,
I
actually
teach
in
Hingham
public
schools,
so
I
teach
home
at
family,
consumer
science.
So
my
background
is
a
hummock
teacher
and
I
did
train
back
home
in
Ireland
for
that
so
I'm
more
used
to
teaching
hands-on
as
opposed
to
demonstrating.
So
if
you've
any
questions
just
stop
me
as
I'm
doing
it
or
if
anybody
wants
to
get
hands-on.
G
F
Pastry
blender
so
do
have
one
that
back
seat
wheel
so
that
I
can
show
them.
Or
did
you
do
you
don't
have
one?
Did
you
use
your
grade
it
right
so
a
pastry
blender
is
it
has
a
handle
on
top
and
then
it
it's
almost
like
knives
at
the
bottom.
So
it's
like
a
horseshoe
shape
for
want
of
a
better
explanation
and
it's
almost
like
knives,
and
so
it
cuts
in
the
butter
into
flour
if
you're,
making
like
breads
or
pastries.
Anything
like
that,
so
we
actually
traditionally
in
Ireland.
F
That's
a
really
great
question
question,
because
traditionally
in
Ireland
we
don't
use
pastry
blenders.
We
would
do
the
robbing
method.
So
you
would
use
your
fingertips,
we
don't
even
grate
it
actually
its
fingertips
and
we
would
just
rub
in
the
butter.
So
the
question
that
this
lady
asked
it's
in
relation
to
our
bread
recipe,
so
you
cut
the
butter
into
the
flour.
D
F
This
recipe,
you
don't
need
the
door
actually
guys
this
bread
is
delicious,
not
gonna
lie.
So
when
we
get
to
the
bread,
we
don't
need
the
dough.
It's
really
quick,
it's
a
wet
recipe,
so
it
has
buttermilk
which
is
traditionally
used
in
Ireland
as
well.
Anybody
know
why
so
it
helps
to
race,
so
it
works
with
the
bread,
soda
or
the
baking
soda
to
help
the
bread
to
rise,
but
also
because,
if
milk
goes
sour,
who
wants
to
waste
milk
so
instead
of
butter,
milk
is
actually
sour
milk.
F
So
if
people
that
sour
milk
back
home,
they
would
use
it
to
make
their
bread,
as
opposed
to
as
opposed
to
like
buying
buttermilk
or
as
opposed
to
adding
like
vinegar
or
lemon
juice,
to
their
milk.
Does
that
make
sense
yeah?
So
actually,
if
you
so
the
recipe
for
the
bread
that
has
like
oats,
flax
seeds,
whole
wheat,
flour,
white
flour,
brown,
sugar,
butter,
I
think
you
guys
might
have
a
copy
of
the
recipe
there.
F
So
that's
that's
a
we're
talking
about
if
anyone's,
not
sure
so
I
have
the
onions
on
too
salty
right
now
and
I
am
going
to
get
our
bacon
ready
to
add
into
those
again.
Another
huge
ingredients
are
very
popular
back
home
is
bacon
and
I
mean
how
you
Americans
love
to
I'm
sure
right,
so
we're
using
smoked
bacon
today
as
well
smoking.
You
know
it's
a
popular
back
home,
obviously
to
preserve
all
of
our
foods.
F
So
that's
why
we
use
it
here
and
it
definitely
adds
great
flavor,
and
if
anybody
doesn't
eat
pork,
we
do
have
one
pre-made
without
bacon,
so
yeah.
Of
course,
just
let
us
know
when
you're
in
you're
grabbing
us
I
want
to
sell
to
these
together,
bring
out
the
flavor
and
we
need
to
bacon
to
cook
for
about
5
minutes.
So
while
that
is
working,
I
will
get
working
on
the
potatoes,
and
it
is
true.
I
was
just
telling
you
earlier.
It
is
true
that
we
eat
a
lot
of
potatoes.
F
Is
anybody
here,
Irish
or
of
Irish
descent?
Ok,
do
you
guys
eat
a
lot
of
potatoes?
Yes
and
of
course,
we're
leaving
the
skin
on
I,
don't
know
if
you
guys
do
or
not,
but
you
know
by
leaving
the
skin
on
we're
keeping
in
those
nutrients
and
it's
healthier
less
waste
which
traditionally
in
Ireland
we
love
question
hi
Carol,.
F
So
streaky
it's
like
American
bacon,
as
opposed
to
traditionally
Irish
bacon
is
back
bacon.
So
has
anyone
ever
had
an
Irish
Breakfast?
So
it's
like
those
thicker
pieces
of
bacon,
which
is
back
bacon
so
for,
if
you
were
having
like
a
boiled
dinner
back
home,
we
actually
do
not
eat
corned,
beef
and
cabbage,
it's
generally
bacon
and
cabbage,
which
is
the
thicker
pieces
of
bacon
that
you
would
get
with
an
Irish
Breakfast.
So
the
streaky
bacon
for
this.
F
It's
just
because
it
has
a
little
more
fat
and
we
do
we're
using
smoked
today,
but
you
can
use
regular
bacon
if
you
have
it
like
it
doesn't
matter
anything
anything
pretty
much
goes
in
soups
and
stews.
Once
you
have
the
basis
for
the
flavor,
you
know,
and
that
was
you
know
traditionally
in
Ireland
people
use
up
what
they
can
as
opposed
to
wasting
food
so
chopping.
My
potatoes
and
I'm
just
chopping
these
about,
like
Cube
size,
just
like
an
inch
cubes,
so
they
cook
pretty
quickly.
It's
a
pretty
quick
recipe
actually
and
I
know.
F
Traditionally,
you
know
with
Shepherd's
pies
and
beef
stews
that
Irish
people
eat,
but
this
is
definitely
popular
as
well.
I
hope
it's
not
burning,
so
this
is
a
popular
one.
That
was
pretty
quick
and
I
thought
for
the
summer
in
New
England
as
well.
Why
not
do
a
chowder,
a
seafood
stew
forget
the
potatoes
in
there
and
I
am
also
going
to
add
in
at
this
point
some
thyme.
F
So
right
now,
I'm
just
adding
in
my
thyme
bay
leaf
a
little
salt
and
pepper,
and
it's
with
this
recipe.
I,
never
add
too
much
salt.
You
know
you
can
always
add
more
at
the
end
I'm
just
because
the
fish
is
smoked,
and
then
we
have
the
smoky
bacon,
so
that
adds
in
a
flavor.
You
know
you
shouldn't
need
a
lot
of
salt
in
there
and
for
stock.
The
recipe
says
fish
stock.
But
again
you
know
you
can
use
whatever
stock.
If
you
have
a
vegetable
stock
at
home
chicken
stock,
any
any
stock
works.
F
It's
pretty
pretty
versatile
has
any
it's
good
everyday
when
it
does
have,
it
does
have
cream
in
it
I'm
glad
the
cream
at
the
end,
but
it
would
be
an
everyday
soup.
Yes,
cuz
it's
pretty,
it's
not
a
roux
base,
so
it's
not
as
comforting
or
is
it's
more
of
a
summer
soup
as
well
as
opposed
to
a
winter.
You
guys
know
the
difference
between
a
roux
base
and
a
regular
Saru
is
when
it's
thickened
with
flour,
but
we
have
the
potatoes
in
here
today.
So
it's
not
a
super
thick
soup,
so
we're
just
gonna.
F
F
There's
flaxseed
in
there
like
I,
said
the
buttermilk,
the
bread
soda
and
then
traditionally
bread
filled.
It
was
used
because
of
access
to
ingredients
back
home.
So
you
know
instead
of
having
like
yeast,
spreads
and
all
the
time
it's
you
know
you
just
mix
it
up
and
it
works
with
the
buttermilk.
So
the
ala
client
acids
work
together
and
it
can
be
made
on
a
griddle
like
you.
Don't
we
baked
it
today,
but
you
could
make
it
on
a
griddle
if
you
wanted
to
just
like
little
rounds
or
yeah.
F
F
Vegetable
talk
today,
but
it
does
the
recipe
calls
for
fish
stock,
but
you
know
we're
just
changing
it
up
a
little,
and
so
then
you
know
some
other
traditional
Irish
foods.
Obviously
the
Irish
Breakfast,
with
the
pork,
sausages,
bangers
and
mash.
If
you
guys
had
all
of
these
yeah
Boston,
is
so
full
of
Irish.
F
It
is
it's
grass-fed
because
that's
all
it's
such
a
huge
farming,
community
and
I
do
I,
grew
up
on
a
farm
in
the
northwest
of
Ireland,
so
so
interesting,
and
we
sourced
all
of
our
fish
today
from
Reds
best
so
I,
you
guys
been
through
the
market
at
all
yeah.
So
it's
very,
very
good
quality
fish,
high
quality
and
it
is
the
salmon-
is
from
the
Gulf
of
Maine
and
the
haddock
is
from
Chatham.
So
we're
using
a
mix
of
haddock,
Cod
salmon
and
smoked
haddock.
F
Obviously,
smoked-salmon
is
popular
back
home
too,
but
I
wouldn't
put
that
in
a
chowder
I.
Don't
know
why
I,
just
it's
probably
too
good
to
put
the
chowder,
but
it
actually
smoked
salmon
is
excellent.
Few
of
a
good
piece
of
smoked
salmon
with
the
brown
bread
and
just
some
of
the
Irish
butter
and
it's
another
traditional
food
back
home.
It
served
a
lot
in
restaurants
and
bars.
G
F
Oh
yeah,
because
it's
like
there's
a
long
fight
but
I
mean
fights
are
reasonable.
Now
you
know
when
I
was
a
kid.
My
weave
cousins
like
rope
over
here
and
my
aunts
and
uncles
and
whatnot,
so
they
would
always
come
to
visit
us,
but
we-
we
didn't
really
come
here
that
often
because
it
was
such
a
big
trip
from
home,
but
to
go
back
it
I.
Guess
it's
not
as
much
of
a
big
trip
itself,
so
I'm
just
cutting
these
into
bite-sized
pieces
as
well.
F
F
So
yeah,
when
I
moved
here
as
well
from
home
I,
you
know
I
trained
to
be
home,
like
teacher
back
home
because
it's
taught
in
every
single
school
in
Ireland,
every
schoolteacher,
so
Mike,
but
over
here
it's
not
as
popular
which
I
was
I.
Don't
know
it's
sad
to
see
that
or
to
hear
that,
because
it's
so
it's
such
an
important
life
skill
to
learn
just
the
basics,
you
know
so
hopefully
I
feel
like
it
might
make
a
comeback,
but
it
right
it
needs
to
come
back.
F
And
the
shop
classrooms
are
up
the
hallway
from
my
classroom
right
now,
but
it's
one
of
the
few
schools
that
still
teaches
both
of
those
things
and
I
teach
middle
school
too.
So
it's
what
I
hang
on
public
schools,
so
I
teach
it
hang
a
middle,
but
I
think
it's
coming
back.
We
just
got
an
email
actually
from
a
few
other
teachers
or
in
other
schools
wondering
what
was
our
curriculum.
What
did
we
teach
because
they
are
trying
to
bring
it
back
in.
F
And
obviously,
trying
to
source
locally,
you
know
back
home.
You
don't
really
need
to
think
about
sourcing
your
foods.
You
don't
need
to
think
about
it
as
much.
So
it's
in
your
foods,
locally
or
the
environment,
because
you
know
you
know
the
farmer
down
the
road
or
you
kind
of
know
where
everything
comes
from.
So
that
was
a
huge
challenge
for
me
as
well,
when
I
moved
here
trying
to
find
good
ingredients,
even
castor
sugar
is
superfine
sugar.
F
F
D
F
Right
so
that's
like,
like
brown,
sugar,
yeah,
Demerara
sugar
yeah.
So
it's
not
it's
a
little
more
coarse.
It's
just
like
like
brown
sugar,
and
then
you
have
the
dark
brown
sugar
too.
So
they
just
have
them
molasses
at
it,
but
they're
popular.
We
actually
use
brown
sugar
in
the
in
the
bread.
You
can
leave
it
in
or
take
it
out,
but
it
is
definitely
better
with
it
in
I.
Don't
know
if
you
guys
could
smell
the
bread,
probably
not
anymore,
not
over
this
yeah
Oh.
F
F
E
G
G
G
G
Locations
where
you
can
also
find
quiz
ingredients,
specific
tyrosine,
thanks
to
Andrea,
so
you
end
up
there,
so
those
locations
are
not
the
specific
event,
but
we
thought
that
we
have
fun.
You
want
to
cook
any
of
this.
You
know
where
to
go
for
the
ingredients
and
one
other
thing
I
did
just
want
to
share
it's
a
great
opportunity.
G
Access
console
and
the
intention
of
this
council
is
improve
access
to
food
in
the
city
and
bring
partners
together
and
constituent
voices
to
do
that,
and
so
we
are
restructuring
the
council
so
that
there's
a
better
opportunity
for
civic
engagement
for
community
voices
to
be
perfect,
and
so
our
next
meeting,
September
25th,
you
all
have
this
flier
September,
25th
and
December
4th,
and
we
have
an
opportunity
now
for
people
to
become
voting
members.
But
in
order
to
be
a
voting
member,
you
need
to
attend
two
of
four
meetings
and
our
first
book
is
in
December.
G
So
that
means
you
would
need
to
be
there
in
September
and
December
to
vote
in
December,
so
we're
spreading
the
word
you
think
you'd
like
to
join
us,
it's
over
City
Hall
and
it's
a
really
great
way
for
us
to
hear
from
constituents
the
challenges
that
they're
having
accessing
food
and
it'd
be
a
range
of
physical
by
the
intro
of
cultural
and
kind
of
access
challenge
you're
having
we
want
to
hear
about
it.
So
we
hope
that
many
of
you
will
join
us.
F
F
When
you
add
it,
that's
what
I
felt
was
kept
in
till
the
end,
because
it
will
separate,
if
you
add
it
and
boil
it
and
then
it's
not
so
good
to
reheat,
because
you
don't
want
anybody
to
get
too
poisoned
so
always
keep
your
cream
and
added
at
the
end,
and
then
I
also
added
a
little
fresh
parsley
at
the
end,
which
again
we
had
this
in
our
backyard.
I
make
two
steps
outside
my
back
door.
We
always
have
Paris
Lee
right
there
and
it
just
O's
adds
freshness
it's
delicious.
F
So
it's
particularly
good
with
fish
I'm.
Actually,
white
Paris
he's
also
super
popular
back
home
I.
Don't
know
if
anyone
said
that
so
very,
very
popular.
So
this
is
like
a
root
of
white
roux,
sauce
with
parsley
and
onions,
and
it's
very,
very
popular
with
served
with
fish
in
Ireland.
So
that's
what
I've
added
here
and
then
we
are
serving
a
salad
which
you
are
getting
on
your
table.
F
Do
a
quick
taste
of
them's
I'm
gonna
grab
some
spoons.
Oh,
can
you
grab
me
some
please?
Actually?
Yes,
just
Moulton
thanks
and
that's
why
I
love
this
one,
it's
a
wet
mixture.
You
don't
need
to
need
it,
so
you
don't.
Even
you
know
if
you're
making
it
at
home,
you
don't
need
to
worry
about
needing
the
bread
and
lead
in
a
too
much
or
too
little.
So
this
one
is
just
pop
it
right
in
the
tin.
