Irish Cream

I've had some people, especially those not familiar with Spirits (in the alcohol sense, not the spiritual or religious sense), ask me what does the name of my blog signify.

I wanted something in the name that would indicate a number of things: that we live at Notre Dame, Indiana*, Travis works at Notre Dame, I love chocolate, I think my family is the best of the crop (I'm allowed personal bias, it is my blog), and our last name is Bailey.

Well, there's a drink that is called "Bailey's Irish Cream." It's a hot drink made with chocolate, cream, and whiskey. It's very rich, and (so I understand) very good. Especially in cold climates (such as Ireland? but then I guess the Irish like to have just about any excuse for drinking).

So in 2 words I was able to convey all I wanted, and what's more Bailey's Irish Cream warms you up from the inside; a trait that would be nice if my posts also accomplished on occasion...

*The University of Notre Dame is actually located in Notre Dame, IN. We just live in the city that surrounds it.
