After generations of his family spent their lives as outlaws for making the infamous Irish poitín, Pádraic Ó Griallais has finally been able to carry out the family business in the open just under a decade after the spirit was outlawed.
Taking a career break from his job as a high school teacher to establish a new business based on his old family recipe, Ó Griallais is free to produce and sell the highly alcoholic spirit as he pleases without the interference of the Gardaí [Irish police], who hounded the previous poitín distillers in his family with raids to put a stop to the production of the beverage that was outlawed from 1661 to 1997 due to excise regulations.
The production of the spirit was regulated by the Irish Department of Agriculture in 1997 but only under their specific regulations. Luckily the regulations still allow Ó Griallais to use the botanical bogbean that grows around his family’s homeland around Indreabhán, County Galway, that makes their specific recipe so special. …

Well, I won’t tell you about the weather here.
I’m working on ordering some textbooks for Elen. They are so freepin expensive!
I got ready to do the floors, and found I’m out of Wet-Jet pads and liquid. *sigh* I had them on my list but crossed them off before I even went to the store on payday because I had other things on the list that I thought were more important. I didn’t plan on the weather being like it is.
And I’m out of creamer. ARRRgh!
We have been to the gym. Tom baked a cake for the homeless mission. I should go give Shannon a pill.
From my Homepage:
Ever try to give a cat a pill?
Here’s how:
1. Pick cat up and cradle it in the crook of your left arm as if holding a baby. Position right forefinger and thumb on either side of cat’s mouth and gently apply pressure to cheeks while holding pill in right hand. As cat opens mouth, pop pill into mouth. Allow cat to close mouth and swallow.
2. Retrieve pill from floor and cat from behind sofa. Cradle cat in left arm and repeat process.
3. Retrieve cat from bedroom, and throw soggy pill away.
4. Take new pill from foil wrap, cradle cat in left arm holding rear paws tightly with left hand. Force jaws open and push pill to back of mouth with right forefinger. Hold mouth shut for a count of 10.
5. Retrieve pill from goldfish bowl and cat from top of wardrobe. Call spouse from garden.
6. Kneel on floor with cat wedged firmly between knees, holding front and rear paws. Ignore low growls emitted by cat. Get spouse to hold cat’s head firmly with one hand while forcing wooden ruler into mouth. Drop pill down ruler and rub cat’s throat vigorously.
7. Retrieve cat from curtain rail, get another pill from foil wrap. Make note to buy new ruler and repair curtains. Carefully sweep shattered figurines from hearth and set to one side for gluing later.
8. Wrap cat in large towel and get spouse to lie on cat with its head just visible from below spouse’s armpit. Put pill in end of drinking straw, force cat’s mouth open with pencil and blow down drinking straw.
9. Check label to make sure pill not harmful to humans, drink glass of water to take taste away. Apply Band-Aid to spouse’s forearm and remove blood from carpet with cold water and soap.
10. Retrieve cat from neighbor’s shed. Get another pill. Place cat in cupboard and close door onto neck to leave head showing. Force mouth open with dessert spoon. Flick pill down throat with elastic band.
11. Fetch screwdriver from garage and put door back on hinges. Apply cold compress to cheek and check records for date of last tetanus shot. Throw T-shirt away and fetch new one from bedroom.
12. Ring fire brigade to retrieve cat from tree across the road. Apologize to neighbor who crashed into fence while swerving to avoid cat. Take last pill from foil wrap.
13. Tie cat’s front paws to rear paws with garden twine and bind tightly to leg of dining table. Find heavy duty pruning gloves from shed. Force cat’s mouth open with small spanner. Push pill into mouth followed by large piece of fillet steak. Hold head vertically and pour pint of water down throat to wash pill down.
14. Get spouse to drive you to emergency room; sit quietly while doctor stitches fingers and forearm, and removes pill remnants from right eye. Also, be quite still for your tetanus shot before beginning your 10-day regimen of antibiotics (MfM). Stop by furniture shop on way home to order new table.
15. Arrange for vet to make a house call.
A classic. It never, ever fails to make me laugh!!
Sally held Shannon firmly by the scruff of her neck. I forced Shannon’s jaws open and poked the pill to the back of her mouth, then held her jaws closed for a bit. Shannon swallowed the pill, called me a very ugly name, and ostentatiously turned her back.
I could have done it without Sally, but I just put on a black dress and didn’t want to get it covered with five shades of fur.
Do not try this with Jake.
Hi Trisham.
Happy New Year. :D
I trust all is well with you?
I’ve been nursing a Cold for the last three weeks. Ugh.
Yessir, “Rogue One” was excellent! And I agree with you on K-2S0!
I may have to get the DVD, but it will have to wait until I move.
Your homepage is mighty interesting! What a world traveler you are! I’m jealous, now! LOL!
Good for Tom! I would bake a cake, but I’m all out of powdered sugar for frosting, and somehow, a cake isn’t a cake without frosting.
I’d make a cinnamon crumb coffee cake, but I’m out of brown sugar, too. *sigh* There was a time when all that stuff was always in my cupboards because I was always baking something for someone.
Ohwell...I’ll just go bed and read a bit. Or play some mah johng.
Is Shannon feeling better today?
If you stroke a cat’s throat (or a dog’s) after you’ve inserted the pill, they will swallow automatically, before they even realize they’ve been had.
One of the neighbors was out this morning with his girlfriend’s dog and when the dog heard my voice, he began to whimper and wag his tail. Of course, I HAD to go pet him! (The dog’s name is “Elvis,” and he looks like some derivative of a Golden Retriever and ...?) He’s old, but he’s a good dog.
Yes, Shannon is feeling better today, but not 100%. Since we’ve got the pain pills, I’m giving them to her. It’s been a nice, warm day with plenty of Sunbeam for a poor old cat, and Bill, whom she likes because he smells good, has been hanging out in the room with her.
I think Darks is observing....
My spelling has been worse than normal tonight.
Shannon is lucky to have someone to hang out with who smells good. I’m not quite so lucky, if the wind is just right. :o|
I didn’t notice. I thought it was just British!
That happens to me a lot, but now that Darks’ and I often share the same dream or story lines, not quite so much. I’m learning how to make typos of my own. ;o]
Bill has his negatives as a roommate, but he’s clean and fragrant.
Yes, that’s the excuse i’ll use! And stick with it. :)
If you lived here, everyone would think you’re cool just because of how you talk.
