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!)

Grammy Nominations Are In… Did Your Favorite Make the Cut?


The 52nd Grammy® Award nominations are in, and as always include an eclectic mix of our favorite Flycell artists. The Recording Academy has some hard choices to make this year. We look forward to January when winners will be announced.

Beyoncé received ten, count them TEN, nominations this year including nods for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, Best Contemporary R&B Performance, Record of the Year and Album of the Year. Get your Beyoncé ringtones here.

Lady Gaga and the Black Eyed Peas also received nominations for best Album and Records of the Year. Talk about some fierce competition…

Lady Gaga’s “Poker Face” is up for Song of the Year against Taylor SwiftsYou Belong With Me” and Kings of Leon’s “Use Somebody.”

Taylor Swift bounced back nicely from the Kayne incident earning eight nominations. We bet Joe Jonas is really sorry now that he dumped Swift over the phone in a call that lasted “27 seconds.”

A full list of nominees is available here: http://www.grammy.com/grammy_awards/52nd_show/list.aspx

Support your favorite artist or check out new nominees while getting your ringtones at Flycell.com.

Flycell CEO Named Most Visionary Consumer Services Executive in 2009 Mobile Star Awards™

Alberto Montesi wins award for leadership and financial success as Flycell wins Best Consumer Entertainment Service

Flycell

MobileVillage announced today the winners of its 8th annual Mobile Star Awards, awarding Flycell, Inc. CEO Alberto Montesi top honors with the SUPERSTAR award in the Visionary: Consumer Software and Services category. The mobile and online media and entertainment destination also received the top honor by being named SUPERSTAR in the Consumer App: Entertainment or Media Services category, paying tribute to the exceptional year Flycell’s service enjoyed in 2009 under Montesi’s leadership.

Mobile Star Award WinnerThe Mobile Star Awards recognize the top mobile products, success stories and visionaries as chosen by thousands of readers of technology news portal MobileVillage’s Go Mobile™ newsletter. The SUPERSTAR award is the highest honor given to Mobile Star Award winners.

The Mobile Star Visionary award is the latest achievement for Montesi, who earned a place on the Silicon Alley 100 list, was recently a finalist for Executive of the Year in the 2009 International Business Awards℠, and was honored as one of Mobile Entertainment’s Top 50 Executives the past two years running.

“These awards and Flycell’s overall success in 2009 have all been a truly impressive team effort with every member of our company contributing,” said Montesi. “I personally would like to thank Flycell employees for their contributions to our exceptional growth, both here in the US as well as internationally, at a time when many of our competitors are buckling under the pressure of the failing global economy.”

Montesi was specifically recognized for his leadership and vision, guiding Flycell through four years of uninterrupted growth, including impressive double digit growth in each quarter of 2009, despite the poor economy. He attributes his company’s success to its ability to stay ahead of industry trends, make wise customer acquisition choices, and create and deliver the mobile and digital entertainment customers are demanding in an easy to use and efficient way.

Flycell‘s 2009 earnings are running more than 80 percent over the company’s earnings in 2008. Last year the company took in $75 million. For the first three quarters of 2009 the company has already eclipsed $100 million.

“Montesi’s success in staying one step ahead of mobile and digital entertainment trends, with a service consumers are willing to pay for, is a perfect example of the kind of visionary the Mobile Star Awards seek to honor,” said Gary Thayer, editor of MobileVillage. “We applaud Mr. Montesi and Flycell for being selected by their industry peers for these two awards and look forward to seeing what Flycell will bring to consumers in 2010.”

Artist Spotlight: Tokio Hotel

Tokio Hotel - Scream
Named after their favorite city (Tokyo) and the place where you can usually find them (hotel), Tokio Hotel was founded by two identical twin brothers, though you may not be able to tell. The older of the two, Tom, favors hip hop dress and dreads, a la Fieldy from rap-rock group Korn, while his little brother, Bill, prefers the androgynous front man look, made popular by Mick Jagger and David Bowie, among many, many others.
In fact, Bill’s look and big hair harkens back to when
Bon Jovi was huge (before he went country) and have helped him win such prestigious awards as “most attractive male singer.” Tokio Hotel cites a wide range of influences from Rod Stewart and Joe Cocker to Aerosmith and Megadeth, but their pop rock sounds, arena riffs, and fondness for robots makes them more similar to contemporaries Linkin Park.
Their look and sound have helped the band to achieve several number one songs and albums, as well as selling nearly 5 million copies of DVDs and CDs in their home country of Germany. Now they’re ready to conquer the rest of the world.
