Celebrate the Season


The Holidays are here. If you haven't finished your shopping, it's too late so you may as well just sit back and enjoy some good times with family and friends as we did recently.

This is a picture of some of my family members, my Mom, daughter Lisa, and granddaughter Sam. It was taken at Lisa's house last Sunday.

We sure had a grand time.

Here is a quick recipe for a fun cocktail to ward off the cold during the holidays

A Recipe for
Hot Irish Punch

Ingredients:

4 cups of red wine
2 cups of white wine
1/2 cup of brandy
1/2 cup of whiskey
8oz of light brown sugar
2 fresh pears
2 oranges
1 lemon
1 pint of spring water

Method:

Add red wine, white wine, brandy & whiskey to the water and sugar.

Bring to a slow simmer - Do not boil.

Add chopped pears, oranges & lemon.

Serve in a large wine glass.

AND TO DRINK IT THE TRADITIONAL IRISH WAY,
ONLY DRINK AS MUCH AS YOU NEED
TO GET ABSOLUTELY PLASTERED
...BUT LEAVE THE CAR AT HOME!
