Time to make Egg Nog again...

“Don't wear em in here. I may tie you up and take you home with me... ;-)”

“You know bourbon is good in spiced cider, and some nog recipes call for whisky, and rum or just whisky.”

“well ill just have to try all of the above now wont i.

but not all in one night!”

“Why not? That's the way we roll around here. I don't think some have been sober in months...”

“haha. im still waiting on those margaritas joely promised me. ive got big red over here, think anyone would notice if i diluted it a bit? haha, jk.”

“Fine with me! though some others might say otherwise...”

“sober?   whazzat?”

“I dunno.”

“hmmmm.....

CMB is my best friend and we live together too :P”

“You two are best friends because you don't have a normal marriage. ;-)”

“Why have a normal marrige if normal marrigaes end in divorce? :)”

“Hey I didn't say it was a bad thing, just not your "run of the mill" that's all.”

“Do you guys actually make egg nog? I always buy the stuff in the carton. Is it better homemade? I am a little skert...”

“I do really make my own eggnog. The recipe I am using now is the first post on this thread. It's really good. I don't think there is any more danger from making it than buying it, but ours stays refrigerated, and is always drank pretty fast. I don't think I would keep it around more than a week though. The cool thing about making your own is adjusting the recipe to your own tastes just like cooking. It is really easy and only takes about 10 minutes to whip up a batch once you have the ingredients ready to go. Give it a shot. People eat raw eggs all the time.”

“Cool, MG, I will do that. I love egg nog, but after about two glasses, I am ready to barf. It's always been a mistake for me to try and tie one on with egg nog. I think the way to do it is to tie one on and THEN have a glass for desert.”

“There ya go! I like a little rum in my nog, but I don't think I'd try to really get lit on it for the same reasons. It's just too rich and heavy.”

“I think you can buy pasteurized eggs can't you?”

“Like egg beaters or something?”

“Do all those eggs make you...you know, fart a lot?”

“You may be able to though I don't know what it would taste like.Honestly I have been making egg nog for a couple years now and the creator of this recipe has been making it for many many years, and I have never heard of a problem. The bulk of the ingredients are cow's milk any way not eggs, though there are eggs in it. I guess if you are too woried about it you could mix some Bacardi 151 into your nog, and then it would be sterile!

I don't think the eggs make me fart any more than normal, but I couldn't tell you any more than that CD. LOL!”

“Naw, you can buy whole, uncooked, pasteurized eggs now.”

“I make boiled custard around Christmastime in lieu of eggnog. It's kind of a PITA to make but oh man is it good.”

Who's to define 'normal'?

I'm glad y'all are not 'normal', that's why I fit in with y'all. :-)”

“Well, I'll be damn.”

“No salmonella! I've never had a problem with that tho (knock on wood) and I've made a LOT of hollandaise...”

“I had it when I was a kid. It was really really bad. Got it from my pet turtle. Interestingly enough his name was Sarge.”

“When I was young (before kids) the ex and I would throw a French Canadian Christmas party. Now, before any of you smartarses starts, it was French Canadian comfort food as the theme - meat ball stew, tourtière (pork pie), pig's foot stew, baked beans and ham.

The libations were caribou (1/3 grain alcohol and 2/3 red wine) and egg nog. I used the recipe in the first edition of the Joy of Cooking which still the best I've tried.

The next morning we'd pick up the bodies and feed them egg nog pancakes and orange juice withsparkling white wine.

I'm older and wiser now.”

“Just boil the eggs. That's how they pastuerize milk.”

“Yeah, but then you get chunky egg nog.”

“blender;)”

ROTFLMAO”

“It's true!”

“Some things will always be a PITA, huh?”

“any quick and easy spiked egg nog to make?
i need some for the radio show tonight.”

“easy: buy deans eggnog and add brandy to taste. it's good quality stuff and you won't have to listen to people constantly asking, "are there raw eggs in this?"

when i make it at home i do so in small batches, a few drinks at a time. i mix it up like a bar drink.

per cup of whole milk: .5 cup of brandy, four egg yolks and .25 cups sugar. in advance dissolve the sugar in a saucepan using a little water to make a syrup. this makes blending in the sugar easier. sprinkle with ground nutmeg when you serve it but ask first as some people don't care for this. use pasteurized eggs which are sold in the grocery and only cost a little extra. break up the egg yolks with a fork really well, adding a little milk at first. mix all in a shaker with some ice cubes. shake well then strain into a glass.

i'll make more white russians than eggnog at a christmas party... :)

“Maple, my recipe that is the first post on this thread only takes about 10 minutes to make. If you want alcohol in it I like light rum in mine. I put about 20% rum (80proof) and 80% nog. Jimmysan seemed to like it pretty well a few weeks ago in Red River Gorge. ;-)”

“thank you. i have a super easy one to make. it was a thought at the last min so i need to work withwhat i have here. FYI tree got rum as a present and it's about 180 proof

HAHA strong stuff.
.


jimmy 25 cups of sugar?

so jimmy liked it ay? do tell....haha”

“That's POINT two five cups sugar, and you would not have believed how much he liked it. He just kept cumming back for more. I guess you'll have to read the mobfest TR to get all the juicy details. ;-)”

“MG..are you looking at internet porn while searching for eggnog recipes???”

“so what if I am?
You're not the boss of me!
LOL!”

“.25?

haha lord i should wear my glasses more often.

if it was 25 cups, then no need for booze.

GNM thats right, your not the boss of him. but if you were, why would you ask that?”

“great now I have that song in my head.

your not the boss of me, life is unfair.....


malcom in the middle”

because I thought THAT was funny..or strange..or...well..gross”

“drink the egg nog and you will feel all of the above”

“I said that because maple said:

There were6 drunk guys in the woods. There was bound to be lots of foul talk. Especially when you have me, Nigal, and UPlover together.”

“it really is just whole milk, egg yolks, sugar, and alcohol. i prefer brandy. i hear peach brandy is really good but have never tried it (sounds good anyway). i have blended rum, rye whiskey, and brandy with excellent results. the rye whiskey really adds a nice touch. after a few glasses i guess it doesn't really matter. i haven't looked at meangreen's recipe but i will vouch it was quite good and i didn't get sick. :)

as to the rest of the story... no comment!”

“back to eggnog...one word peeps! MAOLA add your liquor and keep rollin. yum”

“i just looked at your recipe meangreen and i am glad i did because i forgot some of the stuff you told me...

cardamom... this is a REALLY neat idea. i may give this a try. i don't put nutmeg/etc in the drink i make but let people add it later. it's a fine powder so it would blend in really well.

cardamom is damn expensive, but i have a bottle for use when i make sweet potatoes (mashed). it's a real treat with them.

not sure about the bitters. i would try it with and without to see if it really did anything for me.

i don't use the egg whites, just the yolks. the whites don't add much to the flavor (if anything) and i think they make a less rich eggnog. some people whip the egg whites with sugar and fold this back into the milk/eggs to make the nog really fluffy but i don't care for this. it's like drinking a cup of foam.”
