Brown Bread

Time to bake a traditional family recipe. Heaven forbid, I forgot the old recipe for Brown Bread. Every once in awhile, I will stop in at O'Reillys http://sforeillys.com/ for a slice of brown bread. Ficra, the proprietor, (hopefully I spelled his name right or its the last time he will serve me an ice cold Guinness beer http://www.guinness.com/en-us/ and shot of Jameson whiskey; http://www.jamesonwhiskey.com/default.aspx serves up a nice slice of brown bread with my corn beef quesadillas and shepards pie. Fortunately, my new friend at cooking class not only made the bread in class,  but she shared the recipe I had forgotten.
