Egg Nog: Yay! or Nay! - Bilge

Always been quite partial to nutmeg. Most store bought stuff is inferior, but I like the nog I get from Braum's, a regional ice cream and dairy store. They're a privately owned, vertically integrated operation - own their own herds, etc. I finished off a jug, last night. Now that you got me thinking about it, I believe I'll have to go get another. Every Christmas, I gain 10 egg nog pounds. I think I read on the label that there's 220 calories in 8 oz. - that's before adding 3 oz. of dark rum. When the egg nog goes away in January, the 10 pounds soon follow. I'm afraid if I got in the habit of making my own, it would never "go away" - nor would the extra pounds. I'd gain 100 a year, till they had to come saw the house apart to rescue me. [ Edited by: Limbo Lizard 2008-12-13 16:45 ]
