Nogfest 2009!
That's right folks, it is almost time for Nogfest 2009 to begin. Some of you may have been a part of Nogfest 2008, and I think the final result of it was pretty decent. I still think the recipe needs work though, and I aim to fix that this year!
So for those of you who don't know the story, my Grandpa used to make awesome Tom and Jerries (which is basically egg nog + booze) every year for Christmas, and I want to keep up the tradition on his behalf. However, I have a lot of work to do on my recipe, so I dedicate a season to perfecting it. And I need taste-testers! So if you enjoy booze, as well as the company of The Waller (and possibly others!), then you should totally be a part of Nogfest 2009.
I had my recipe all typed out and everything, and now I can't seem to find it...I think I remember what I did last year though. Powdered sugar. I mixed, like, a pound of powdered sugar in with about 12 eggs and added some nutmeg and cinnamon, along with the standard rum and brandy. It needs to be spicy, but it should also be sweet. And hopefully you don't really notice the fact that you're basically drinking raw eggs. That may sound gross, but seriously, a good Tom and Jerry is amazing.
Are there any closet Tom and Jerry makers out there? I need advice!
