Happy St. Patriclk's Day!
An Irish Prayer
May God give you...
For every storm, a rainbow
For every tear, a smile
For every care, a promise
And a blessing in each trial.
For every problem life sends,
A faithful friend to share.
For every sigh, a sweet song
And an answer for each prayer.
My plan was to make the following recipe for dessert tonight.
Baileys Irish Cream Cupcakes
1 box Duncan Hines Dark Chocolate Cake Mix
3 Eggs
1/2 C Vegetable Oil
1 C Water
1/4 C Baileys
Mix. Spoon batter into cupcake liners in pan. Bake.
Icing
4 T Baileys
Confectioners Sugar
8 oz Cream Cheese, softened
Wilton Sprinkles
Mix cream cheese, powdered sugar and Baileys.
Begin with 2 C powdered sugar and add to desired consistency.
However, we had no Bailey's Irish Cream or cupcake liners or even a cupcake pan that would make more than 12 cupcakes,
So. here is the altered plan.
Baileys Irish Cream Bundt Cake
1 box Duncan Hines Dark Chocolate Cake Mix
3 Eggs
1/2 C Vegetable Oil
1 C milk
1/4 C Cream
1 Jigger Jameson Irish Whisky
Mix together. Pour into bundt pan.
Bake at 350 for 40 to 45 minutes. Cool completely.
Icing
8 oz Cream Cheese, softened
Confectioners Sugar
1 Jigger Baileys
Cream
Cream
Mix cream cheese, baileys, cream and sugar together
to desired consistency and spread on cake.
Top with green sprinkles.
It was an unbelievably moist & yummy St Pat's dessert!

At the cabin...
It's Magically Delicious! (addendum)
While we know that kids love to receive mail,
these kids won't be home on St. Patrick's Day.
The logical thing is to give them their box early.
This was a fun bonus for us because
we were able to experience the fun with them!

Open Open Open!
But wait, there's more!
Lucky Charms,
and gold coins!
It was a lucky day!

It's Magically Delicious!
A Saturday Evening Post...
We really love to send fun things to the grandkids and look for every excuse to do so. With St. Patrick's Day nearing and the magnificent seven on our minds, we produced an assembly line of sorts and watch what happened!
Step 1
Carefully open the bottom of a box of Lucky Charms.
Step 2
Carefully cut a small opening in the bottom of the cereal bag.
Step 3
Open a bag of gold covered chocolate coins.
Step 5
Add to the cereal bag.
Step 6
Add a couple of real gold coins or as in our case,
a couple gold colored dollar coins we got at the bank.
Step 7
Shake well.
Step 8
Reseal the bag with your handy, dandy Food Saver bag sealer.
Step 10
Return the bag to the box with the resealed side up.
Step 11
Glue the bottom of the box back together.
Step 12
Display.
What would you think if you received a box of magic?
