Egg Nog

Christmas time is here. How can you tell? Ok, so you could look at a calendar, go to any retail store, listen to the radio, watch tv, feel the weather outside, look at the position of the stars or ask a neighbor....but if you didn't have any of these options, how could you tell I ask you?

The Egg Nog shelf at the grocery store!

I happen to like the stuff, especially if it's real egg nog (with whiskey). But what exactly is nog and why is it so good? What I found out is rather interesting. See the article link below.

My favorite quote:

"Our first President, George Washington, was quite a fan of eggnog and devised his own recipe that included rye whiskey, rum and sherry. It was reputed to be a stiff drink that only the most courageous were willing to try."

Such courage our forefathers had. Makes me proud to be an American. So remember, this holiday season, the more spiked your egg nog is, the more like George Washington you are.
