Irish Cream BTB Ingredients: 1 cup Whiskey 1/3 cup Rum 1 pint Whipping cream 1 can sweetened Condensed milk 2 Eggs 2 tbsp of Chocolate syrup 1 tsp Vanilla extract Mixing instructions: Mix all the ingredients thoroughly, except for the whipping cream. You can use a mixer (recommended) or by hand. After all the ingredients are mixed well you will add the whipping cream, mix lightly, and do not over mix. Too much mixing after the whipping cream has been added will make the cream froth, leaving a head on the mixture. Keep the Irish Cream in a good sealed container; give it a little shake after it has been sitting. "Better Than Baileys."

Hey Betty here is the recipe for Yankee Pot Roast. YANKEE POT ROAST 1/2 cup of white flour 1 tsp. of sea salt 1/2 tsp. white pepper 4 lb. chuck roast 1/4 cup of bacon drippings 1 tbsp. vegetable oil 2 tbsp of apple cider vinegar 2 15 oz cans of canned chicken broth 2 cups of water 2 cloves garlic, crushed through press 1 tsp. thyme 1 tsp of rosemary 2 bay leaf 6 sm. boiling potatoes, peeled and quartered 2-3 white turnips, peeled and quartered 6 med. carrots, cut into 2-inch lengths 1 tsp. of chopped parsley In a small bowl combine the flour, salt and pepper. Coat the roast with the seasoned flour, tapping off any excess. Reserve the remaining dredging flour. In a Dutch oven or flameproof casserole, heat the bacon drippings and the oil over medium heat. Add the roast and brown slowly, turning to color all sides about 30 minutes. Add more oil if necessary to prevent sticking. Add the beef broth, water, vinegar, garlic, thyme, rosemary and bay leaf. Reduce the heat to low; cover and simmer for 2 hours, turning roast occasionally. Add the potatoes, turnips and carrots. Simmer, covered, until the meat and vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes longer. Remove the meat and veggies from the Dutch oven; place on a platter and cover loosely with foil to keep warm. Discard bay leaf. Slowly whisk 1 cup of the pot roast liquid into the reserved dredging flour. Place the Dutch oven over medium high heat and whisk in flour mixture. Bring the gravy to a boil and boil until thickened, 2-3 minutes. Stir in parsley. Slice the pot roast and serve with the vegetables and gravy.
