Saint patrick's day/Irish Coffee

When I was growing up, Saint Patrick's day was in fact a big deal.But not in the ways you might think. First of all, it was always a holiday----nice--no school. Next it came in the middle of lent. And usually we had given up sweets (candy) for lent. But St.Patrick's day was a dispensation---we could eat our hoarded Cadbury's chocolate, Mars' bars, Smarties, and Liquourice Allsorts. We eagerly looked forward to digging into the stash. So imagine my rage one year to discover that my 2 brothers had broken into my carefully hoarded pile of sweets before Saint Patrick's day. And they had eaten the lot! (I think they left some mints----not a favourite) Grrrr.....I will spend the rest of the day figuring out how I can retroactively punish them!

Irish Coffee: Again when I was young---well in this case I was in my late teens---I used to work at a very fancy hotel in county Kerry---during the summer. I had 2 jobs: one was to make Irish coffees----see I am very experienced---the other was to sit at my Irish harp and to sing a few ditties. If you come to our St. Patrick's day party, you will sample my Irish Coffees but you will not be "treated" to the other part of my former job!


Please do come
