    Time to serve up some Irish Coffee ~ Invented by the a chef at Foynes Airforce Base, Irish Coffee was intended to  warm up passengers during long waits between flights. On one occasion when a flight to America had to suddenly return to the base, the chef brewed a pot of coffee, sweetened it and added some Irish Whiskey. Little did he know it would spread from the Atlantic to America. 

    Here’s the recipe: In a large mug or goblet, pour in one jigger of Irish whiskey. Add one spoonful (to taste) of sugar and fill the cup with strong black coffee (leave one inch of the brim to add sweetened whip cream). Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Drink through the cream. Yummy!  Buy some scratch-off lottery tickets (void where prohibited) and include with monthly statement that say’s “In honor of Saint Patrick’s Day, try your luck with the enclosed ticket.  May you win big!“ We have done this with our customers and have had great response. We love it when someone calls to tell us she or he is a WINNER!

    And if you like Limericks check these out (I wrote and posted them on my social networks):

    Here’s one from RYZE Her Mastermind Network
    There once was a girl named Rosie
    She really liked all kinds of posies
    She could sit for hours
    Just picking flowers
    And walk in the beds on her tip tosies

    This lass loves to network on Facebook
    A little time was really all it took
    To share good times with friends
    She never wants it to end
    But its time to put on her apron and Cook!
