Young woman I could find one of my
Grandmother

Today is my Grandmother's on my mothers side favorite Day.
You may wonder Why? Well, its because she was full American Irish.
She loved this day And Ireland. I lost my grandmother when
I was only 20years old and that was many years ago.
However, I think of her on this day each year.
Because it would make her beautiful Green Eyes twinkle each year
when we would go to her Beach house in New port Beach in
California as kinds to teenager's. She also had a amazing smile too
I also love my grandmother and my momma for giving the
Irish Green eyes that I have, that they pasted down to me.
My bit of Irish that I have of my Grandmother.
There are many things that I remember about my grandmother
Noni as we all called her. And one of them was her amazing
desserts she would make for us during St. Patrick's Day.
My favorite dessert was her
-BAVARIAN MINT-
She would make two different kinds when we
were young children and teenagers. However I remember
one time we got to have the adult version.
And it was awesome. So in honor of my
GRANDMA NONI AND MY MOTHER

1 envelope of unflavored gelatin
1/2 cup sugar divided
1/8 teaspoon of salt
1/2 cup of cold water
