I love egg nog. I especially enjoy it with a touch of brandy, but plain is good too. Shake that jug or carton up and pour a big ‘ol glass and just be! I think I am going to have make a run to the store!

Truly a man after my own, uh, stomach. That’s using the ole Noggin!

I share your passion. Unfortunately, my pre-diabetic tendencies make it difficult to indulge. In other words, I have to sneak it when my wife isn’t looking!
Last year, Wally World sold a low-sugar version (better than nothing), but this year they don’t have it. Curses!

The best nog I ever had, I must confess, was about 20 years ago. My wife had a coworker from Jamaica, who made her own, including some Carribbean rum that she brought back. Dang… Spectacular. I really had to be careful not to overindulge too much at a time.

Funny,

As I am reading this, I am enjoying my first eggnog of the season. I confess that I too am an eggnog addict. Fortunately, I don’t have to share, my cat doesn’t like it.

(By the way, we actually have something else in common — blog template. Although I really like what you have done with this theme on yours. Very, very nice!)

I knew you and I had some things in common, Michael!! Ahhhhhhh, yes. Our petty arguments of the past are all faded memories now. I finally know that someone else understand eggnog addiction!!!! LOL

Egg nog! One of the top 5 reasons to look forward to Christmas. I used to wait for egg nog to show up at my grocery store, but no store bought egg nog can compare to home made. I haven’t bought egg nog at the store since I discovered this recipe on Good Eats:

Riffing off the Christmas Carol thing. I'll take your word on the savagery that TBN does to Dickens. I, fortunately, have never been exposed to it. But, having said that, I have had a Christian-ish Christmas Carol experience. For quite a long time, the Alliance Theater here in Atlanta put on a play version of CC every year. Back in the 80s and early 90s, Tom Key (Atlanta's favorite theatrical son) was heavily involved in the Alliance and often appeared in their productions. I was able to see one of his last performances in CC as Scrooge. As you may or may not know, Key is a Christian. When Scrooge sees the error of his ways at the end of the play, one could sense in Key's performance the heart of a man who had learned what real grace is, even beyond that which the character learned in the book. It was probably only something that another Christian could sense, but it put the icing on the cake of a great performance.

Whooaah! How spooky is this? We just returned from the grocery store with a half gallon of nog! At first I picked out a quart bottle to which my husband cast a dubious look. “Ummm….that’s not enough to share.”

Enjoying two glasses at present, in full blush of gluttony,

Anna & Jeff

Michael,
yea, my wife can’t understand the pleasures of undiluted egg nog either.

BTW, among the dozens of truly tasteless Dickens’ rip-offs did you ever have the misfortune to see this one (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0381942/) with Gary Coleman as the ghost of Christmas past? Merry Christmas!
