irish whiskey cake
i made three irish whiskey cakes this year
st patricks day tradition that no one did last year as we were all still adjusting to the stroke
trying to get things back on track this year
my grandmothers recipe
my mother taught me how to bake this st patricks day goodie
the only thing she ever taught me to cook
she would come to my house the weekend before the 17th every year
and we would have a 48 hour baking marathon
one year we made 12 in two days
this year i decided that i would make them on my own
i wonder as i baked them if she could smell it downstairs
if she remembered the laughs we had making them
i wondered if she misses things like this
i cried and cried
my son asked me what i was making i told him irish whiskey cake
he said oh knockout cake
what is asked
he said knockout cake that is what grandma called it before she got handicapped he informed me
she said if i ate it i would get knocked out
wow that was three years ago
he was five the things children remember
