Top of ta mornin' to ya....Happy St Patrick's Day!
Whether you're Irish, catholic, leprechaun or any other flavour, there's always fun to be found on St Patrick's Day. A very special day to me (as I have some green blood flowing through my veins) and I always love to celebrate on March 17. And it wouldn't be St Paddy's day without a wee tipple. Not really a fan of green Guinness so I rummaged our alcohol stash and discovered a dusty bottle of Bailey's up the back of the closet. Such sacrilege! On a day like today, the Bailey's needs to be supped
Do you celebrate St Patrick's Day? I'd love to know...
Here's a delicious and decadent recipe blending Baileys, coffee, ice and milk poured onto a base of butterscotch and and topped off with lashings of cream and dark chocolate ganache to get you in the mood. See the recipe after the break.

Give me a can of spray paint and some glass jars and I'm dangerous. Channel King Midas and turn everyday items into gold. I found these sweet honey/jam jars in-store at Victoria's Basement in Sydney and had a vision to replicate golden honey oozing down the sides. In the process, I discovered using art masking fluid a great agent for masking off areas from the paint
How to
1. Thoroughly clean surfaces
2. Using a paint brush and art masking liquid, mask off areas from spray paint. Obviously using a flat surface is preferrable than a raised surface as demonstrated here
3. Spray metallic gold paint suitable for metal or wood. I used White King Super Gold Paint
4. Let dry thoroughly and then carefully peel off congealed masking fluid
I also sprayed another jar completely in gold and accidentally left it in the rain. The droplets left little marks over the surface much to my surprise....Voila, instant patina effect!
