National Egg Nog Day!

It’s a mystery who created National Egg Nog Day, but egg nog lovers are stoked that this day exists. It’s loaded with stuff that tastes really delish. Sadly all that stuff is not good for you. What the heck though, Egg Nog Day comes only once a year. So get in the spirit!

Here is a recipe that is mmmmm delicious!

Old School Egg Nog

Ingredients:

  • 6 large eggs, plus 2 yolks
  • 1/2 cup, plus 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 cups whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream, whipped to soft peaks
  • Additional grated nutmeg for garnish

Preparation:

Combine eggs, egg yolks, sugar, and salt in a heavy 3- or 4-quart pan, whisking until well-combined. Continue whisking while pouring milk in a slow, steady stream until completely incorporated. Turn on burner to lowest possible heat setting. Place pan on burner and stir mixture continuously until an instant-read thermometer reaches 160 degrees F. and the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Be patient. This should take about 45 to 60 minutes.

Strain mixture through a fine sieve into a large bowl to remove any accidental small cooked bits of egg. Add vanilla extract and nutmeg, stirring to combine. Pour into a glass pitcher, decanter, or container and cover with a lid or plastic wrap. Refrigerate this egg custard mixture to chill at least 4 hours or up to 3 days before finishing.

When ready to serve, pour heavy cream into a bowl and whip until it forms soft peaks. Fold whipped cream into cold custard mixture until combined.

Serve eggnog in chilled cups or glasses and garnish with a sprinkle of nutmeg.

National Regifting Day


Is regifting even a word? Um, yeah. Have you seen the sweater my aunt “made” me??  Seriously, there is a reason regifting is a word we all know, and there is even a Regifting Day. Traditionally the Thursday before Christmas when many offices hold parties and often times those office party gifts are regifted.

Just in case you are worried about hurting someone’s feelings, there are websites dedicated to regifting etiquette like http://nationalregiftingday.com/ and http://regiftable.com/Regifting101/, which have all the tips and common courtesies suggested when regifting.

Remember:  What’s slightly used and green all over?  A regift, of course!

And if you’re saving green by regifting why not treat yourself to a little something over at Flycell.com today? Hook yourself up with a new ringtone (that you won’t ever want to regift!)
