Egg Nog:Let's consider this my late Christmas Gift to you, okay?
The summer before I got married I worked at a Not-for Profit that provided support for new mothers. Full of wonderful, giving women, they threw me a bridal shower complete with a collection of everyone's favorite recipes. Among my favorites I received that day was the recipe for home-made egg nog. And while I initially thought it was odd to give a recipe for egg nog in the middle of a sweltering July...once I made the recipe I knew why they passed it on.
It is good...go-oood.
I can say that without bragging because the recipe was given to me. And now I give it to you.
(and if you feel squeemish about raw eggs...a chef told me that cooking is simply denaturing the eggs, and guess what also denatured eggs...SUGAR! )
