Every time I run a blonde joke I get hate mail. This time, rather
than have you cuss me out, I have substituted the words "not very
intelligent young lady" for the word "blonde". Thanks to JohnORey for
this one.
A not very intelligent young lady goes to a restaurant, buys a coffee
and sits down to drink it. She looks on the side of her cup and finds
a peel off prize. She pulls off the tab and yells, "I WON! I WON! I
WON a motor home, I WON a motor home!" The waitress runs over and
says, "That's impossible. The biggest prize given away was a mini
van!" The not very intelligent young lady replies, "No. I WON A
motor home, I WON a motor home!"
By this time the manager makes his way over to the table and says,
"You couldn't possibly have won a motor homes because we didn't have
that as a prize!" Again the not very intelligent young lady says,
"No, no mistake, I WON a motor home, I WON a motor home!" The not
very intelligent young lady hands the prize ticket to the manager and
he reads, "WIN A BAGEL."
To tell the truth, there is nothing Irish about this recipe except for
the use of Irish whisky. It is adapted from a recipe I got years ago
from one of Marcella Hazan's excellent cookbooks. It has since become
a favorite of every cook I have served it to, not just because it is
truly a sensational combination of flavors and textures, but also
because it is so easy to make. Keep this recipe handy for the next
time you need an extra fancy dessert at the last minute.
Irish Sundae
Quantities per person:
1 to 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream
1 tsp (5 ml) ground espresso coffee beans*
1 Tbs (15 ml) Irish whisky**
* I have also used regular coffee beans, and even instant coffee in a
pinch
** The original recipe called for Scotch whisky. Almost any
strong spirit, such as rum, Canadian whisky, or bourbon may be
substituted.
Grind the coffee to a fine powder in an electric blender or electric
coffee grinder. Place the ice cream scoops in individual serving
bowls, and sprinkle a teaspoon (5 ml) of the powdered coffee over each
serving. Pour the whisky over the top and serve immediately.
