Holiday toddy

Dec 22, 2010 21:53

So, I had my dinner and craved dessert. We've got a wee pie, but that's for Christmas. Then I remembered we had eggnog. Mmmm...sweet, sinfully delicious eggnog. Eggnog with rum. Bliss. I waited a bit, building up the anticipation so it wasn't over too quickly. Then I got out just the right glass, the perfect size and shape, and took the 'nog ( Read more... )

silliness, christmas

Bummer~~!!! So sorry, Anika~!

I guess we have to check those expirations dates~!

Cheers anyways~!

I think it must have already been close to the expiration date when we bought it. No way had we had it in the fridge for a couple of weeks. *sigh* So disappointing. Then again, food poisoning is definitely to be avoided!

Definitely, especially with eggs...

Oh--- and I love your little eggnog picture~!

honscot December 23 2010, 15:06:57 UTC

I thought it was pretty funny, even if it is a bit disgusting. ;D

You should do what my hubby does. *sniffs* It smells alright. It'll be fine!

Ha! I would have used his technique if it hadn't been quite so many days past its prime. Goodness knows, I've done that in the past. :D

lol love the (slightly disturbing) picture :D

i've never had eggnog, we don't have it in this country, so i have no idea what it's like... sounds like you love it though

honscot December 24 2010, 00:16:22 UTC

Hee! It cracked me up even though it is a tad disturbing. LOL

You don't have it?! I had no idea eggnog wasn't a worldwide treat! I loathed it as a kid - when I could actually afford the calories! - but now I love it. This recipe will give you an idea of what it's like.

kewfant4ewan December 24 2010, 14:47:27 UTC

it sounds interesting, i can't decide if i'd like it or not :P i'm not a big fan of milk though so maybe not.
it's always a drink i've only ever associated with America, i've never heard of it being available anywhere else..

honscot December 24 2010, 15:15:43 UTC

I don't like milk either. I could never just drink a glass of it alone, ick. But eggnog is rich and thick and creamy, more like a liquid dessert. :)

ewris December 23 2010, 22:34:44 UTC

Oh dear, that's not good! I love the pic though, too funny!
We don't have eggnog here but it sounds a lot like Advocaat which I'm quite fond of at Christmas

honscot December 24 2010, 00:24:31 UTC

Hee! It's fairly tasteless, but I thought it was hysterical. I love the cow gunning down the rum. :D

I had no idea you didn't have eggnog! I thought everyone did. This recipe shows what's in it. It's sinfully delicious!! I looked up Advocaat and it sounds fantastic. I'll definitely have to try some of that next time we're in Britain. Is it only available around the holidays (like eggnog is)?

ewris December 24 2010, 14:54:01 UTC

Ha! Other than the booze in it It's the same as Advocaat which has brandy. I love it and stupid me forgot to get a bottle and is too lazy to walk half a mile to the shops in the snow. LOL
To be honest I have't looked for it other times of the year but I'm sure it's available all year round, we don't have holiday only drinks here as far as I know.

honscot December 24 2010, 15:20:59 UTC

Oh see, you're not desperate enough yet. I made a special trip on my way home last night to buy eggnog. Then again, I didn't have to walk; the walking would put me off 'cause I'm lazy too. ;) I like that your stuff has the booze already in, that's convenient. Next time we're there I'm definitely having some. Hmm...wonder if I can get it online? Must check into that!

Happy Christmas Eve day! *smooch*
