I just made a couple bottles of Irish Creme; ask me anything

[havocmom]

just do it s-l-o-w-l-y and don't expect an especially coherent answer

[plcdude]

1. what is your receipe

I have one that uses raw eggs so we don't make it anymore.

[havocmom]

3. Raw eggs: good enough for Rocky Balboa

good enough for me!

Seriously, I do risk raw eggs, but I know where mine come from AND I wash them off well with water and bleach before they make it into the fridge. Chicken poop will kill ya!

Oh, and there are powdered, pasturized eggs too. Just found some of those. Cool.

Guess you could just eliminate the eggs from your recipe? Sweetened condensed milk & heavy, old world style cream make it pretty thick & rich ;)

[havocmom]

6. Speaking of chicken embryos: Having Ceasar Salad tonight too

Yep, made the traditional way. (well, I can't actually go out and catch the anchovies, have to use some from a tin). But I do make the dressing with coddled egg.

Coddled egg beats coddled pResident every damn time!

2. Was that a typo, and you meant "drank" instead of "made"?

But if you did mean "made" -- please share the recipe, I never knew it could be "made" (doh!)

[havocmom]

4. Google! Is't not just for researching how to overthrow criminal juntas!

It is amazing what one can find... I'll let you decide which recipe to use, depending on how you feel about raw eggs.

I have long heard (from friends with more Irish than moi) that it was easy to make, but they never made any... x( Today, I am an Irish Goddess!

Easy... hard part for me is it is a LONG friggin drive to get Irish Whiskey. Lucky there was some in the cupboard! :D

[Duer 157099]

5. Ohhhhh... now I get it... you need to start with Irish Whiskey!

And as for Google, how right you are. I am amazed at how often I forget to Google things I want to know about.

[havocmom]

7. There are some GREAT recipe sites out there too

I love RecipeLand.com They have a really nice search engine. Search by title, type of dish, ingrediants... just the ticket if someone gives you, say 60 pounds of pears or something

[Duer 157099]

10. ::sigh::

nobody *ever* gives me 60 pounds of pears. NEVER!

It's not fair.

[havocmom]

12. In about 4 weeks, I can give you about 50 pounds of

spinach!

Feel better? :D

[Duer 157099]

15. Yes!

(really? 50 pounds???) That should cook down to about 1 pan full, right?

:-)

[havocmom]

17. LOL I see you've done this before!

I like to make up a double recipe of spinach souffle, divide it into several small foil baking pans and freeze it. Each time I do that, it takes about everything big enough to harvest from the greens patch.

Do you like Swiss Chard?

[callous taoboy]

8. How did you get the Irish into the bottles / how did you make them cream?

[havocmom]

11. It's hard to get Irish into a bottle?

Who knew :shurg:

OK, before the Irish Anti-defamation League gets on my, I am a goodly part Irish myself. And I am not much of a drinker. In fact, I am a failure at drinking to excess. (tis a flaw I am working to correct today)

[plcdude]

13. but creaming

now that is another thing.

[havocmom]

16. With or without

peas and onions?

[plcdude]

18. my o my

I will try that this weekend you are so hot.

[havocmom]

19. I am so old an ornery

Plus I think we should all have more veggies

[plcdude]

21. veggies

you just can't stop can you?

[havocmom]

24. Have no idea what else you mean

really.

And if I'm hot, it's just a hot flush and will pass soon

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

23. We're good at getting everything out of the bottle.

But we tend to start fightin' if you try to put us into a bottle. And you don't want to make me get my Irish up.

:mad:

[havocmom]

25. You should meet my Wayward Daughter

the redhead who will tell ya the fastest way to a man's heart is through his rib cage.

I am a model of comportment and diplomacy in comparison...


anybody seen my battle axe?

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

26. I'm way calmer than my best friend

Picture tall, thin red-headed Irish girl, prone to randomly quoting literature and such. Meanwhile, I once witnessed her kick out a window because some guys pissed her off.

[havocmom]

27. Does she have a berserker cousin who's a pediatric nurse

and should NEVER have vodka and a pool cue at the same time?

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

28. I haven't met much of her family.

Her parents are generally whacky. Her little brother is cool. Her grandmother hates me. That's all I know.

[swimboy]

9. Are there B-52s in your future?

:toast:

[havocmom]

14. Nearest AF base is Malstrom

So who knows?

Saw a lot of 'em heading to the bone yard in Tucson back a few years ago...

Are there some missing?

edited to add: I prolly shouldn't be trying to fly one right now.

[swimboy]

20. 1 part Irish cream

1 part kahlua
1 part amaretto

[havocmom]

22. Waste of good Irish Whiskey

and you just get a wide awake drunk
