The recipe I saw called for 6 eggs to make a quart. My mom really cheaped out on it, but we were poor and didn't know any better. For instance, I did not know you are supposed to cook it.

Eggnog is pretty unhealthy but compare it to ice cream, at least those that use real sugar along with cream and/or eggs.  And that is why my wife and I get one or two small containers of it over the holiday season and enjoy it for the time we have it. This is also why many of the brands can just be poured into an ice cream machine to be churned into, you know, ice cream. Eggnog is in many ways, unfrozen ice cream. It's gross "unfrozen" ice cream.  |

It always amazes me that there are foods you eat and love that a great many in this world avoid if not detest yet a simple thing like eggnog and your ready to load it on a rocket and send it all to the sun, never to be seen again. lol |

not to mention the calories and the price (high to begin with) rises every year. I hear you on both...I like it, but the price is crazy, plus...being a fat SOB, I've already added 18 lbs since I retired in June [MY DR BLEW HIS TOP} , so my egg nog will likely be in a shotglass ,if I have any at all.
Someone spoke of fruit cake, but it's still too soon for that; it's food for another time

Yes, it is a definite calorie bomb. I no longer drink, and the taste always reminded me of Baileys Liqueur.

That Cramp, he just ain't got no Holiday Spirit! I'm practically the Ghost of Christmas Present. I have my lights and tree up before Thanksgiving. I just cannot hack egg nog. No way, no how. I can't do cheesecake either. Stuff like bone marrow and sweet breads, any day of the week, anytime, but there are certain things I just can't stand for. |

I LOVE cheese cake and it's hard to find a good one down here.
I also like marrow...
Sweet breads just didn't stick with me. I've tried them twice.
Egg nog? Definitely.
Pumpkin spice? Put that on Jason's rocket.

At one point in my life I was in search of the the perfect margarita. That quest ended after a bad episode with too much tequila. I switched to hunting the perfect cheese cake. The late Carnegie Deli was my favorite.
For the record, l do like egg nog with rum, but I have to restrain myself, too many carbs.

We have the recipe for the Carnagie Deli Cheesecake. It was wonderful when we could still eat that stuff. Back in the early 80s the ingredients cost over $15.
But it was soooo gooooood.

I'm so glad I started this...we began with egg nog and we've covered bourbon, brandy, all kinds of rum, Southern Comfort ,ice cream, eggs, pumpkin ,coffee cream , and even fruit punch...Now, Kelly, fine fellow that he is, brings us another vote for CHEESECAKE, and the ever popular MARGARITA!
ALL I WANT TO KNOW IS...WHAT THE HECK IS "PRETZEL SALAD"?

ALL I WANT TO KNOW IS...WHAT THE HECK IS "PRETZEL SALAD"? First, a normal patch thread. We get on the freeway and start to drive like laws don't apply as we weave in and out of traffic. Second, you can Google "pretzel salad" or we can tell you but honestly, its an experience. Once you've tried it you are either a fan or a hater, there is no in-between. |

Probably like a taco salad but it doesn't cut your gums so much.

The last slice I had was in 2000. It was high priced but you got a pound of cheese cake plus the topping. Wonderful stuff! |

ALL I WANT TO KNOW IS...WHAT THE HECK IS "PRETZEL SALAD"? It's pretzel crumbs, cream cheese, fruit, and Jello. It's an abomination. We had a church cookbook from the 80s, where my dad was pastor. The things in that book would make your blood run cold. One recipe that stuck out at me was stewed tomatoes, raspberry jello, and cottage cheese. I CAN NOT EVEN IMAGINE... Heinous to the max. |

I have several of my mom's United Methodist Women cook books from the 50s and 60s. I remember the old (to me) women as pretty good cooks, but they didn't give their good recipes for the cookbooks. I have one from the Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center, the Troop 590 Mother's Club, and a couple more like that. There's LITTERALY NOTHING in any of them that I want to cook. It's like a twilight zone of food.

How can someone not like cheese cake? They have to be living Homo Antecessor preferring to suck the marrow out of bones and gnaw on sweet breads. That's worse than being subjected to Jello recipes from the 50s. Being as we are off track anyway who likes butter milk that is some vile nasty stuff unless used for making ranch dressing or biscuits and or bread.

That Jello salad looks like a prototype monster for a cheesy 1950's Sci-Fi Pic.
