Irish Coffee for Winter #WarmUpDrinks

By

Happy New Year and welcome to the second installment of the Winter Warm-Up Drink Series hosted by Ellen of Family Around the Table! For the next five Fridays, now, we'll be featuring winter drinks guaranteed to warm you right up!

Stay Warm With These Sips


I readily admit that mine isn't a traditional Irish coffee. For one, I didn't use Irish whiskey. I had Scotch whiskey. And secondly, I don't sweeten it or use whipped cream. I prefer to add a dollop of foamed milk on top. But I am always of the mindset that you use what you have. And no matter what whiskey you use, I think this is a steaming cup of goodness that will warm you right up on a chilly evening.


Ingredients makes 2
  • 6 ounces strong coffee (I use a stovetop espresso machine and a dark roast coffee)
  • 1-1/2 ounces Scotch whiskey
  • foamed milk


Procedure
Pour whiskey (3/4 ounce per cup) into serving glasses. Pour in hot coffee.


Top the coffee with a dollop of foam and don't stir. Drink the coffee through the foam.
Sláinte!

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here. And there won't be a Twitter chat for this event, so you will have to dive into the articles themselves to read about our pairings and findings. Here's the line-up...

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

By
If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce...
