    A surprise from Ireland

    A friend of mine was recently in Ireland--just arrived back in Wisconsin last night. And as a surprise to me, delivered a gift from a mutual friend in Armagh.

    1 liter of poitín.

    The real stuff, made on a farm in south Armagh. I am so looking forward to this! I had some last summer when I was in Ireland and loved it. Now, where did I put that Dubliners CD?

    He was lucky it wasn't picked up at Customs.

    It wouldn't have been treated as part of his duty free allowance.

    I've had me some good poitín in my time. Unfortunately I've also had some that would've better served as a fuel substitute!
