How I Celebrated

I did not know they made Bailey's Irish Cream Creamer. It was sooo freaking good. I have had Irish Cream in chocolate bars before and it is one of my favorites and now I think I have a new favorite. Did not want to delve into the haggis this time. Maybe one day I will visit the UK and try some authentic... sausage? Happy National Irish Cream Day!

Diet Helpers 

• Sugar Free

  Get yourself some sugar free whipped cream for your Irish coffee.
  As for haggis, I don't think there is sugar involved unless you put it in some of your sides or dressings

• Gluten Free

  Lookin good!

• Vegetarian

  Your coffee should be fine, but as for haggis, you may need a recipe like this but I really wouldn't know how the taste compared. I would guess that it wouldn't because the ingredients are really... special. I have to say it is more appealing to me right now even though I really want to be open to trying all kinds of food.

Recipes

• Making haggis? Alton Brown can't steer us wrong right?
• Try making haggis in your slow cooker!
• Try a vegan Irish coffee

History

Punchbowl on Irish Coffee and Burns Night
I like the Idea of a Scottish bard. I didn't realize how crazy both Irish and Scottish pronunciation is. I still don't really know how to say Auld Lang Syne and I already forgot how to pronounce that actress' name (Saoirse). I always want to say Siaosi LMAO.

Merchandise

Make sure to wear a wool tartan scarf! Super soft and warm.
