Leprechauns
Derived from the Irish word "luchorpan" meaning "little man," Leprechauns are Irish fairies who are about two feet tall and look like little old men. They are solitary and happy creatures who live in remote places. Legend says they have pots of gold and if you catch one, they might tell you where it is in order to escape.

Do leprechauns drink root beer?
Root Beer and sarsaparillas as known in North America were not around when the Leprechauns first appeared in Ireland. Now that the World is getting smaller, metaphorically speaking of course, and products are reaching distant shores everywhere, I'm sure the little fellows would enjoy a nice refreshing Root Beer, I sure do.
It means your temperature was too hot. This sort of recipe is touchy and one needs to follow the directions to the letter.

- You could also replace a spoonful or so of the granulated sugar with light corn syrup. This will not affect flavour or texture but it does provide some protection against crystallizing when you make sugar syrups.
i beg to differ,
its all about how you stir it
did you stir it to much you ask yourself?
No i haven't, okay, so it will come out sparkly.
- I'm assuming you're making this caramel topping stove-top the old fashioned way. One of my jobs is a pastry chef, and it's happened to even me so don't feel bad. One thing you need to remember to do when you're making caramel is to have a bowl of very warm water w/a pastry brush on hand. As the caramel is cooking, brush the sides of the pan down with very warm water. The reason being crystals have a tendency of forming along the sides of the pan. And sugar crystals also have a tendency to spread like a spot of mold on bread! The brush trick dissolves the crystals, thus preventing them from spreading. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice also prevents crystalization without adversely affecting the flavor, if you care to try that instead. Just wipe the sides of the pan with a damp (not sopping wet) pastry brush and keep it on low heat and whisk until all of the crystals have dissolved. It'll take some time, but it'll happen.
P.S. I abhor corn syrup and use it as little as possible. If you use the brush trick, you can avoid having to add that nasty goop known as corn syrup!

How do you catch a leprechaun if you are not located in Ireland and live in Nevada?
Due to the Leprechaun's warm blooded and small body, it does not thrive well in desert environments such as Nevada, except for Lake Tahoe. As a small animal, Leprechauns require much water, and with their fast metabolisms, much food as well. Personally I live in California, so Leprechauns run the streets, but in Nevada I would recommend a very large green house, one able to reproduce Rainbows so Leprechauns may feel more comfortable in the new environment. This will help them reproduce and thrive. I hope this answered your question. Good luck.
If leprechauns ARE real where do they live besides Ireland and the US?
It's your own personal belief if you think leprechauns exist. If they were to live someplace, they would live in those two areas. Those are the sterotypical places where they live. You can't believe everything you hear. It's not always going to be true.
To scam you by, appearing when you try to take his pot of gold, giving you a piece of it and turning around staring at the piece of gold then taking your wallet out of your pocket. Or, another way to scam you is, by hiding at the end of the rainbow guarding their pot of skittles. If you try to take it they will give you a skittle and say, warp the rainbow, taste the rainbow. Then, they steal your wallet. Oh yea, be careful not to step on the leprechaun.

How do you get rid of a small amount of Peter Pan syndrome?
If it's just a small amount of the Peter Pan syndrome then why get rid of it? Sometimes I wish I still had that magical part inside of me that I had as a child, but after years of reality shoved up my nose (and most people are like this) we forget to maintain that magical child-like part of us that can make life more fun and it can be passed onto your children and grandchildren. If this little bit of Peter Pan syndrome isn't hurting anyone then be thankful you either have it or that you are around someone that does.
