Bushmills Irish Kiss

1 ½ ounces Bushmills whiskey

1 oz. Peach schnapps

2 oz. Orange juice

5 oz. Ginger ale

Add ice and garnish with a lime wedge.

#102 When Volcanos Interfere with Your Trip to Ireland & Michele vs the Volcano

Episode Guide – Podcast #102 When Volcanos Interfere with Your Trip to Ireland

We hear from Bernard McMullen about the affects the volcano in Iceland has had on Irish travel and we have a guest who had to change her plans for Ireland because of the volcanic ash.

Our apologies in advance, we didn’t have access to our usual recording equipment, so this episode sounds a bit different than others.

Note: These interviews were conducted on Tuesday, April 20, 2010. Since then Irish airspace has opened and airlines are working their way back to normal service.

10 Things You Should Never Say to an Irish Woman

This one is just for fun. Corey mentioned on Twitter that someone had found his site by searching for “Ten Things You Should Never Say to an Irishwoman”. He suggested that someone should write the article. I’m up for the challenge.

Keep in mind that these are politically incorrect and only for entertainment. Do you have one to add?

1. You drive like you should have a red “L” on the back of your car.

2. Can’t you control your kids?

3. I hope that is mud on your Wellies.

4. You and your husband are a match made in Lisdoonvarna.

5. When was the last time you went to confession?

6. I thought talking on the phone and driving was illegal in Ireland.

7. I got the same designer jeans for $20 in Orlando.

8. New perfume? I thought it was a whiff of Dettol.

9. Is your husband just back from the pub – or does he always act like that?

10. There is no smoking in the ladies toilet!
