gnu, a rolling pin makes an excellent spice crusher. Put the toasted caraway seeds in a baggie first to keep them from flying all over the kitchen when the rolling pin comes down on them.

That "Nellie O'Leary" recipe looks way richer than anything I've ever made or eaten under the name of soda bread. The batch size looks like two small or one large loaf, and it calls for an entire cup of sugar, a quarter pound of butter, a cup and a half of raisins, and an egg to boot? Holy cats! That's a tea cake, and not a Lenten one, either!
