St. Patrick's Day LIVE BLOG

10:06 AM - This is my first attempt at a live blog.  I figured St. Patrick's Day would be a good challenge.  Obviously I'll update throughout the day as my drink total climbs and my ability to function declines.  I'll be taking pictures of all the drinks, but since I'll be updating from my phone I may have to edit them in later.  Regardless, stay tuned throughout the day, it should be fun!

10:27 AM - Here's a shot of me and my girlfriend before the festivities unfold.  I'm sure this will be a good comparison later in the day.


10:35 AM - First drink of the day.  Let's call it an Irish coffee. Wanted to start earlier, but hey, I got all day.



10:56 AM - Girlfriend made me breakfast! It's delicious! Time for another drink soon, too.



12:08 PM - Irish Car Bomb time! Kinda disappointed it's afternoon already.

Irish Car Bomb

First off, happy early St. Patrick's Day!  No idea who the guy was, but thinking of him as the Saint of drinking alcohol is good enough in my book.  Oh yeah, and the whole Irish thing.  So combining the two, we get Irish drinks; here's the delicious Irish Car Bomb. 

But first, a few things.  It's called an "Irish" Car Bomb for a reason.  Use Irish ingredients, like Guinness (a must), Bailey's Irish Cream, and Jameson or another Irish whiskey.  Sorry, no Jack Daniels.  Also, pour the whiskey first, then the cream.  If done correctly -try pouring over an upside down spoon- the cream will form a top layer separate from the whisky for a more aesthetic look.
