MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
May you all have the holiday you wished for.
My favorite eggnog recipe is below if you are so inclined.
Trust me it's awesome.
Every Xmas eve we make this.
Every year someone stops by & turns up their nose and will say they don't care for egg nog.
Then everyone has some, moans and says how good this is. Silly people.
There is never any left over & those who said they hated eggnog have had several glasses.

EGGNOG
6 eggs
separated
3/4
cup sugar
1 pint
heavy cream
4
pints milk
½ pint
Bourbon
1
tablespoon vanilla
In a
bowl beat the egg yolks with the ½ cup of sugar until thick.
In
another bowl beat the eggs whites with ¼ cup of sugar until thick.
In a 3rd
bowl beat the cream until thick.
Add
the cream to the yolks, fold in the egg whites and add the milk, bourbon and
vanilla and a pinch of nutmeg if desired.
Chill
in the freezer before serving. (I have never done this – only refrigerated because
once made, we suck it down 😊)
Serve
in a large punchbowl and grate fresh nutmeg over top.
Enjoy!

Have a great Christmas, Margaret. That eggnog would help.
Merry Christmas Jean!!
Here's to a wonderful 2020!
Love eggnog, but dang it will put on fat.
Love eggnog. But my 55 grams of fat plan I'm on right couldn't handle it.
Joeh, yep not like the holiday cookies, the mashed potatoes with the sticks of butter or the ranch dressing on the American salad. Nope, the eggnog is fattening. You silly boys.
Mike - fun to diet this time of year. Skip the potatoes and go for the nog. :-)
I try and hold back on the holiday cookies and sticks of butter, I use just a wedge of lemon on my salad, I substitute scotch for the eggnog saving tons of calories. Like I said, i like eggnog, but it is really way too filling for me. I'm sure yours is fantastic, I do try and stay a little healthy over the holidays.
Just a silly boy.
Yum, yum, yum. What a tasty drink. I'll try without the Bourbon since I don't drink alcohol.
You and Rick enjoy the best Christmas. See ya my friends.

Happy Christmas my friend! Hope it is a wonderful one.
Backatcha Linda!!! May it be all that you hoped for. :-)
Sounds great but I wonder if the virgin version would taste as good. Have a wonderful day and I will raise my glass of Ensure to your much better tasting eggnog.
Merry Christmas.
Happy Christmas, Peggy. Hope we get to hang out at an O's/Yanks game this year.
Well, now I want to try this because I'm one of those non-eggnoggers.
Have a wonderful Christmas!
Hope you have a very Merry Christmas!
I do love me some egg nog, but the sugar would put my Metformin into high gear, and nobody wants that. I'll just stick to the Bourbon, straight up, no chaser. :)
So far I don't like eggnog but I also don't think any were made from scratch.
I don't think I have ever had real eggnog. I know I didn't care for what I tasted before but I'm going to put this on the agenda for next year.
Barbara I was given this recipe from my first southern neighbor who told me her grandpa would be sad to know I drink that swill in a carton. so she brought me home some of grandpa's eggnog and I was hooked. then I saw paul dean make what she called her mama's eggnog. it was the same recipe. too funny.
