• Hello, Ann. I doubt I'm related to the Pat you met, but you never know. McDermott is a common Irish name, and I know little about my McDermott ancestry. I know more about my mother's O'Brien family. Thank you for downloading the story. Was is Fiery Roses? I hope you enjoy it, and I hope you get to visit Ireland some day!

• This is awesome, Pat, just awesome! Mr. Shagoury has a great talent to bring out your vision, doesn't he? The music captured the tone of each scene quite well also. I'm so proud!

• Yes, Mr. Shagoury is a talented lad, and most willing to collaborate on a project until it's just right. Thanks for stopping by, Dave!

• Pat, I'm a cookbook fanatic and truly enjoyed browsing the recipes for the past 30 mins. I tried your Guiness stew not too long ago and it was delicious. Thanks so much for sharing your recipes!

• Hi Lisa! I'm so glad you enjoyed the Red Rose cookbook. I think I contributed four recipes, and I'm drooling over some of the others. Can't wait to try them. BTW, the Guinness Beef Stew really does taste better in front of a peat fire, but we do what we can :-) Thanks for visiting!
