Ever since I found the recipe in a couple of Irish cookbooks, I've been making Cheese Toasties for a midday snack on St. Pat's Day.  So easy, so tasty!

> Lol. Yes, after I wrote my message I got online and started looking at recipes. And cheese soup and cheese fondues are some items I'm considering. Also cheese scones.

> Does Kerrygold Butter taste different from "regular" butter? My store has a lot of different butters. I don't remember whether this is one of them.

> But many of the scone recipes have directions like "MIX first 4 ingredients in large bowl. Cut in butter with pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in Cheddar."
> 
> What does that bit about cutting in the butter with pastry blender or 2 knives, mean? Why two knives instead of one? What is a pastry blender? Is that the thing with a handled and a series of parallel crescent shaped blades?
> 
> Is the whole idea to mix the ingredients but coarsely/crumbly?
