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:
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.

Flycell added a fun new game to its entertainment lineup this week – Bid Hunter. An upside-down auction strategy game from Flycell, Bid Hunter can be played online and from your mobile phone.
In Bid Hunter players are challenged to come up with the lowest unique guess to win big ticket prizes such as plasma TVs and home theater systems. Playing is fun and easy!
Although this type of game is sometimes referred to as a “reverse auction” or a “low-bid auction,” it’s not really an auction at all. The object of the game is just to guess the lowest unique number to win the prize. A guess does not represent any actual dollar value, and the prize is absolutely free for the winner, including the delivery.
You can play Bid Hunter online for free at Flycell.com or you can subscribe to play from your mobile phone. When playing from your mobile, you’ll get real time text alerts, be able to bid on the go, and will know exactly where your bids stand, right up to the end of each game.
For full rules and directions on how to play Bid Hunter, go to www.flycell.com/bid-hunter.
Flycell is awarding 34 prizes this quarter, valued at more than $30,000! There are always at least five live prizes for hunters to bid on, and you can guess up to 30-times a day, so you best get on over to Flycell ASAP to get in on the hunt, and hopefully win yourself some sweet prizes.
Top Artists:
10. David Banner – Dr. David Banner: physician; scientist. Searching for a way to tap into the hidden strengths that all humans have. Then an accidental overdose of gamma radiation alters his body chemistry. And now when David Banner grows angry or outraged, a startling metamorphosis occurs.
8. (tied) Nelly – This hugely successful Grammy-winning rap and R&B artist has sold over 40 million records worldwide, starting with Country Grammar back in 2000. His peak was probably with 2002’s ‘Hot In Herre’, which has become a pop and R&B anthem.
8. (tied) Kanye West – In the span of a few years, from 2001 to 2004, Kanye West went from hip-hop beatmaker to worldwide hitmaker, as his stellar production work for Jay-Z earned him a major-label recording contract as a solo artist. Soon his beats were accompanied by his own witty raps on a number of critically and commercially.
7. Ludacris – According to Ludacris’s buddy Bill O’Reilly, the Illinois-born rap star HAS NOT sold more than 13 million records stateside, so that now he’s the rapper with the most Top 40, Top 25 and Top 10 hits of all time, according to Billboard magazine. Shows why you shouldn’t listen to Bill O’Reilly.
6. Katy Perry – The first CD Perry released was a Christian gospel record back in 2001. And then she did a 180 – at least lyrically – releasing songs like ‘Ur So Gay’ (which Madonna said was one of her favorite songs in a 2007 radio interview) and ‘I Kissed A Girl.’ Oh, to be the girl that Perry decided to kiss…
5. Jay-Z & T.I. – Grow up with prominent rap artists like Biggie Smalls and Busta Rhymes + master the art of composing lyrics spontaneously + announce that you’re retiring, then release a new album to record-setting sales = PROFIT. And what to do with that profit? Why, buy an NBA team and marry Beyonce. He’s got 99 Problems, but a bitch ain’t one…
4. Ne-Yo – This half-African-American, half-Chinese-American, in addition to writing songs for Rihanna, Beyonce, Whitney Houston, Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, and Celine Dion, has also had a string of hits himself.
3. Rihanna – She brought her own unique musical stylings from her home country of Barbados, and she’s made good use of them here. With a string of hits and a body that would make just about anyone envious, she’s one hot item. As a side note: some idiot called her the “next Britney Spears.” We don’t think so.
2. Rehab – Not sure if this band is aptly titled or not – it remains to be seen how many of these Southern rock-rappers actually enter their namesake. Hailing as they do from a small city outside of the ATL, you won’t be surprised by their sound – an infectious blend of Southern rock and Dirty South rap. Crunk rock?
And returning as the number one most downloaded ringtone artist for the second month in a row…
1. Lil Wayne – Having been featured on more artists’ records in the last two years than any other artist in the game, Lil Wayne’s been a lil busy. He ain’t so “lil”, though, when you consider that an MTV poll named him Hottest MC, GQ named him one of its Men of the Year, and Blender magazine named him Best Rock Star Alive.

And with the release of their anticipated second album, “Doll Domination” on September 23, it’s also no surprise to see The Pussycat Dolls rise in popularity this month.

“Stand Up To Cancer” campaign to receive $1 for each benefit ringtone downloaded from Flycell
Flycell is supporting the Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C) charitable organization by donating $1 for each download of the benefit ringtone based on the unprecedented star-studded charity song “Just Stand Up!”
SU2C is a new initiative to raise philanthropic dollars for accelerating groundbreaking cancer research. SU2C was established by a group of media, entertainment and philanthropic leaders whose lives have all been affected by cancer in significant ways. ABC, CBS and NBC’s simultaneous broadcast of the Stand Up To Cancer nationwide fundraising event aired on Friday, September 5, 2008 with 100 percent of publicly donated funds going directly to cancer research. Over 50 of the most renowned personalities in TV, film, sports and music came together to make history in this unprecedented television event, raising more than $100 million to accelerate groundbreaking research and bring new therapies to cancer patients more quickly.
“On behalf of the Stand Up To Cancer leadership team, we are tremendously grateful to everyone who contributed to make this historic event a success,” said Lisa Paulsen, President & CEO of the Entertainment Industry Foundation, the 501(c)(3) charitable organization for the television and film business that serves as the fiduciary behind Stand Up To Cancer. “This money will go directly to funding the research programs necessary to defeat this insidious disease. This remarkable achievement was made possible by the generosity of ABC, CBS and NBC; performers who volunteered their time to participate in the broadcast; viewers who phoned in; the substantial contributions from corporations like Flycell; philanthropists; and the thousands of people who donated through our website. The Stand Up To Cancer movement has only just begun. Together, we can make the difference in this fight.”
The single “Just Stand Up!” was produced by L.A. Reid and Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds exclusively for SU2C. The song features today’s top female artists including: Mariah Carey, Beyonce, Mary J. Blige, Rihanna, Fergie, Sheryl Crow, Miley Cyrus, Melissa Ethridge, Ashanti, Natasha Bedingfield, Keyshia Cole, Ciara, Leona Lewis, Leann Rimes and Carrie Underwood. The song’s debut performance was on the SU2C telethon on Friday, Sept 5th and received a 10-minute standing ovation.
Flycell subscribers can download the benefit ringtone as part of their monthly ringtone subscription and Flycell will give $1 to the Stand Up To Cancer campaign.
“Flycell’s participation in the SU2C campaign strives to continue the positive buzz for this song following its debut in the nationwide telethon,” said Lindsey Weinger, vice president of web experience at Flycell. “By donating $1 for each ‘Just Stand Up!’ mobile ringtone downloaded, we hope to continue to draw attention to a worthy cause among our subscribers, giving them a way to personally express their support and give back to cancer research. Customers can feel good about downloading this ringtone not just because it features their favorite artists, but because it is also making a difference.”
Flycell has featured the benefit ringtone as its “Pick of the Week” and promoted it on the Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) site homepage and mobile subscriber newsletter. To download the ringtone, visit www.flycell.com.
