Nor does it have to be stored in the fridge after it's opened, though it will last longer if it is (three months as opposed to one month).<br /><br />- PatricePatrice Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06012022335047974670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-8683758669942779832011-12-31T06:43:25.736-08:002011-12-31T06:43:25.736-08:00The Irish Cream recipe says you are to cap and put...The Irish Cream recipe says you are to cap and put in a dark place for a week for it to cure. I'm assuming that means IT DOES NOT HAVE TO GO IN THE FRIDGE TO CURE. Is that correct?<br /><br />I just returned from celebrating Christmas with aging family 600 miles away. Wish I'd been able to retrieve this recipe a week ago; my New Year's Eve would be very different! :-)<br /><br />Happy New Years, Patrice!BonnBlunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-45541579995256424882011-12-29T11:04:40.209-08:002011-12-29T11:04:40.209-08:00Patrice ya need a new lens for your camera.

A couple of Christmases ago, our daughter opened gifts Christmas morning, started playing a game, and over the course of the game came down with the flu. Never finished the game, in fact. Poor thing spent the rest of Christmas miserable in bed. :(<br /><br />Are those olive oil and cracked pepper Triscuits on your table? I am such a sucker for those!Miss Mhttp://rabbittalk.com/blogs/24carrot/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-90283517502709367112011-12-28T17:11:24.916-08:002011-12-28T17:11:24.916-08:00Patrice,

Then I realized those were for the Irish cream. LOL Could have been an interesting holiday at the Lewis household! :-)<br /><br />This Christmas as I was cooking for the multitude of dietary restrictions we have I so wished I could copy your brilliant idea. If I put out those kinds of goodies they'd either cost a pretty penny at a health food store (and probably not taste good enough to enjoy) or leave us all feeling quite ill. So I looked eagerly forward to seeing your junk food spread if only to live vicariously through you.

The kids only noticed in a cursory manner since presents sort of eclipsed the fact that we had no snow. But I'm not sure about the next several weeks....we love the snow and will miss it dearly if we don't have any this winter.<br /><br />Merry Christmas to you and yours…<br />And may Jesus fortify you in the coming days.<br /><br />ElizabethMountain Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09585895626174792658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-70122388893660252562011-12-28T14:54:10.611-08:002011-12-28T14:54:10.611-08:00My mother-in-law always had only appetizers (nice ...My mother-in-law always had only appetizers (nice ones she made) for Christmas Eve. In the same spirit as yours (save on Mom cooking) we now have appetizers Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve - only I go to BJ's and buy whatever appetizers have coupons and the kids are in charge of heating them all in the oven. Junk food twice a year is enough for us too!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-52245038662405227992011-12-28T13:32:58.604-08:002011-12-28T13:32:58.604-08:00Sounds like a lovley ChristmasSounds like a lovley ChristmasDebbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17319991952705204675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-37183553751523972372011-12-28T13:22:08.852-08:002011-12-28T13:22:08.852-08:00Merry Christmas!

I must say, your tradition of a 3-day junk food feast is actually rather awesome :-) (it's not quite the same, but when I was a kid, we were only allowed Nutella on Sundays, which made it rather special - and when I got my own apartment and was allowed to eat Nutella every day if I wanted to, it lost its "specialness")<br />Thanks for the interesting blog - most of which cannot be "translated" into my everyday life in Denmark, but is inspiring nonetheless!!The Blogless Sisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09351066680712268446noreply@blogger.com
