We woke up last week to the world being a christmas scene, As we just fenced in that part of the farm this year, it was a surprise to me at just how pretty the view out my living room window was when I sat down for breakfast at the table.. 

The hounds all had to roll and rub in it, being that most of them are a artic breed, they think snow is like a good shot of booze..

Speaking of snow, and good booze.. Here is a recipe to try out if you want a o so smooth drink to mix with coffee..

Irish Cream *

*Ingredients:*

– 1 (750 ml) bottle Irish whiskey (750 ml = 3 cups)
– 8 3/4 ounces milk chocolate
– 2 (14 ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
– 2 (12 fluid ounce) cans evaporated milk
– 2 1/2 cups heavy cream
– 1/4 teaspoon instant coffee granules (I subbed w/ 2 T strong coffee)

Or for milk/cream

2 ½ pints cream
1-2 cup sugar

This recipe is easily cut in half, or make full amount and enjoy all winter or give a quart jar away as a gift. A full recipe makes three 750 ml bottles.
Directions:1. Pour a small amount of whiskey into a large bowl. In the top of a double boiler, melt chocolate, stirring constantly until smooth. Mix the melted chocolate with the whiskey in the bowl. Gradually stir in the sweetened condensed milk and the evaporated milk. Stir in the cream, instant coffee granules, and the remaining whiskey. 2. Pour mixture into 3 (750 ml) bottles, seal and store in refrigerator. Best if kept at least 1 month before using. To serve: shake bottle well, serve in small glasses over crushed ice.
