Irish Cream Liqueur
"I like the Irish cream recipes that have egg in them, but it does sometimes make me a little nervous. Here is a good version that is egg-free."

Very very good! So easy and ready in no time. I didn`t have almond extract so I used 1/4 cup Disaronno. Thanks for sweet goodness! -
I was craving irish cream liqueur, and like most things, if I can I'd like to make it fresh rather than buy processed. I replaced the chocolate syrup and coffee with kahlua, but otherwise made as directed. It was fantastic. -
I did not have sweetened condensed milk so I looked up how to make it on the internet. Other than that, I used the recipe as listed and it turned out great. I tried to put it in a wine bottle, but there is some left over. Good stuff, I just might drink it now rather than find another bottle.

I was born and raised for the most part in Georgia. Since 1997 I've lived in the beautiful mountains of western NC, where I spend way too much time at work and not nearly enough time camping! I have a partner of 15 years (Lee) and 3 kids--2 grown and 1 teenager still at home. Lee doesn't cook, but she's my cooking cheerleader, and she and my son will always at least try anything I make, no matter what.
Camping is one of my favorite things to do. Other favorite ways to spend my time are doing beadwork, knitting, and making homemade soap. I should also admit that I spend waaaay too much time on the internet, but the bright side of that is that it brought me to Zaar! I spend a ridiculous amount of time here, but I love every minute of it. It's also has helped cure me of my pathological cookbook buying. I used to call cookbooks with full-page glossy photos my food porn. ;-) Now, thanks to all the talented photographers here, I can get all the food porn I want!
I love to read recipes, which most of my friends think is just weird. I suspect, though, that a lot of you don't think it's weird at all! I love to cook, but only when I want to. I also love to entertain and wish I had time to do more of it. I love trying new recipes. I was a vegetarian (vegan, actually) for several years, and that's when I got hooked on trying so many different cuisines. I still love vegetarian foods, but I do eat some meat, fish, and dairy/eggs now. I still try to keep it healthy and eat as little processed food as possible, but I'm not totally strict about it. Sometimes I want some good old junk food--I just try to make it home-made junk, so at least I know what's in it!
My pet peeve is willful ignorance. Grrrr
