From Ireland, with Love 🍀

hot (Irish) men, green things, & two dessert recipes!

hi, good morning. i’m not in Ireland and this is such an unhinged newsletter but just roll with me.

it’s the middle of March and i want to take this time to celebrate the undeniable charm of Irish men (sue me!!!). literally, what is in the water over there????

making this collage was the highlight of my year

Cillian Murphy, Paul Mescal, Hozier, Andrew Scott—each one a different genre of emotionally devastating. and i’m not just talking about looks!! if you’ve ever seen Aftersun, Fleabag, Peaky Blinders or been to a Hozier concert, you understand the hype. i am a fangirl and ~i don’t care who knows it~ but also if i ever met any of these men irl i’d pretend i didn’t know who they were and act very cool. 😎🆒

so, in light of my specific taste, i’m loosely acknowledging the upcoming St. Patrick’s Day by sharing some of my favorite green things and two very delicious dessert recipes. plus, at the bottom of this email you’ll find six green things i’m loving.

anyway, happy St. Paddy’s to my Irish Kings. and if you celebrate, to you, too!

Lucky Charms Tiramisu

nothing says Irish Pride like making an Italian dessert, lol. i took some liberties with this one, but it’s festive, it’s fun, and so delicious... i’ve made a few Tiramisu recipes in the past and always come back to

Zaynab Issa

’s recipe that she adapted from a cooking class in Italy.

ingredients

• 3 large eggs, separated

• 500g mascarpone, room temp

• 1/2 tsp kosher salt

• 2/3 cup (187g) granulated sugar

• 24 ladyfingers (two plastic packages)

• 1 box Lucky Charms

• 1.5 cups whole milk

• 1/4 cup Lucky Charms Marshmallows, crushed

method

• make your cereal milk by pouring a large bowl of Lucky Charms with milk. let it sit for at least 30 minutes - while you complete the other steps.

• add egg yolks, room temp mascarpone, and salt to a bowl and mix to combine. if things are looking clumpy, grab a whisk and be patient! it’ll smooth out.

• Beat egg whites in the in the bowl of a stand mixer on medium-high. when the whites begin to froth, gradually pour in the sugar. continue whisking until stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes. add whites & sugar to yolk mixture and fold until completely incorporated. again, if it’s feeling clumpy you can whisk it a bit! try to be gentle though.

• strain the milk from the cereal. dip each lady finger into the cereal milk and place in an even layer in the bottom of a loaf pan. Add 1/3 the mascarpone mixture over top and spread in an ever layer. or, use a piping tip like i did!

• repeat two more times to use all the cereal milk, lady fingers, and cream. chill in the fridge overnight (or for 4 hours, at least). when you’re ready to eat it, pick 1/4 cup marshmallows out of the Lucky Charms, add to a plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin. or, add to a food processer to blitz.

• use a strainer to dust the top with crushed Lucky Charm marshmallows. ENJOY!

NOTES

• i used two types of Lucky Charms - there was a special edition at Target that turned the milk green. if you can find this one, i’d say go for it! it’ll add more color into the layers. if you can’t, totally fine - just know you’ll sacrifice green color on the inside. you could always whisk a bit of matcha powder into the milk, just be aware it’ll have more of a matcha taste.

some green things i’m loving

Mora Chunky Beanie — believe me when i tell you that this is literally my favorite beanie of all time. i have it in two colors and will continue to add to my collection. i couldn’t love it more. (also hiii model

Chloe Bruderer

!!)

Sofie Pavitt Gentle Cleanser — this just launched in Sephora and thank god it’s available everywhere because i love it so much. Sofie’s line has helped my acne so much!

Pupsicle — if you’re a dog parent, you need this. i make homemade purees (peanut butter, applesauce and mashed banana + water) for the molds and we love giving it to her as an enrichment exercise in her crate or when she’s got wild energy.

Toast Wool Tank — oh god this is so good. it’s expensive but high quality and so versatile. i also feel like warm sleveless tanks are about to be a big thing.

Eternity Modern Couch — i get questions about this couch almost every single day. it’s an expensive (ish) dupe of the insanely expensive original Bellini and one of the best purchases i’ve made in my lifetime. the color is Nettle Olive Velvet!

Garden Clog — just saying these clogs are literally the IT GIRL right now and i’m *this close* to buying myself a pair.

okay, that’s all for today! thanks for being here. ily ily ilyyyyy.
