Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

A remarkable Italian dessert, with Scotch whisky

Scoop of the best vanilla ice cream you can find or make. Splash a shot of the best whisky you can afford on top. Then dust with finely-ground (powdered) espresso coffee.


Who knew that Italians drink Scotch? According to government guidelines, this recipe contains all three basic food groups: dairy, alcohol, and caffeine.

As much as I try not to drink, it's just so much fun to make these great concoctions.

When I was in high school, we used to make a drink by putting gin and vanilla ice cream in a blender and making a sort of milkshake of it. It tasted pretty good then but my taste in booze has changed a lot since then.

Yum! Thanks for all of these great ideas.

Dare I say that at least one advantage of being a Catholic is that I don't think I've ever been in a parish where there weren't a couple of Italian families in the congregation.

In almost every case, that has translated into excellent Italian food at parish events!

Buon appetito!

I will weigh in on this. Having come with this independently, I will say slightly sweet Speysides are probably best, especially with vanilla. Do not use the stronger Highland whiskies (Laphroaig comes to mind). Unless you really want to. Only my own experiences, mind. Do what seems best, just be prepared to experiment.
