I don’t know if any of you watched or read the Bernstein Bears growing up. I did. Essentially it is a story about a family of bears, who live in a tree and do human things like wear clothes and have arguments with one another.

As I was making this very alcoholic recipe, I was wondering: what is St. Patrick's Day all about anyway? Other than wearing green clothing and drinking on a weekday (Which is awesome! No judgment from anyone when you are particularly quiet or smell bad at work the next day!). I looked it up. Read more...
