At my orchestra holiday concert sophomore year we had to do some christmasy theme, so our section did egg nog. We threw eggs at one of the boy's heads. they hit the gagillion dollar auditorium carpet, I think I'm still in trouble for that one.

You know what's funny? Last April I was in our local grocery store, picking up some cottage cheese -- and there, right next to the whipped cream and sour cream and other things with cream in the name, was a small selection of egg nog.

Now, don't get me wrong: I'm glad to see that egg nog is apparently still produced at all times of the year, and I of course bought some immediately. But I have often wondered, since then: why April? Is it an Easter/Christmas connection? Did some factory find a huge closet full of leftover egg nog somewhere and rush it to market? Or do we ship our excess egg nog during the non-holiday season to other countries, and somehow Oregon, Wisconsin wound up the lucky recipient of one of these CARE packages?

It could be Easter, Tom, due to the eggs in it.

You know what's good? Egg nog shakes. Egg nog, vanilla ice cream, chocolate covered cherries and just a hint of rum (optional, its still the bomb either way). Blend it. Drink it. Thank me later.

Thank you, Ben.

The appearance of egg nog in the stores coincides with the end of the apple season - definitely helps me over the slump. [Smile]

This year, when eggnog is like $0.20 a gallon, I'm going to buy a dozen gallons and freeze it.

Eggnog in July! I've got shivers already. [Smile]

The eggnog you get in the store is a bit too rich for my taste - I add a little milk. I loved the eggnog my mom made - but that included raw eggs and I don't risk that any more. It tasted great, though.

the stuff you buy in the store is pasteurized - therefore safe.

Ah...but did you get violently ill after you drank it. Maybe they don't make it year round...you just got last years leftovers. [Razz]

It's pretty easy to make homemade egg-safe eggnog too. Take the eggs and a cup or so of the milk (or cream, if you're going the clog-your-arteries route) and zap in the blender with a some (say 1/2 c.) of the sugar. Do NOT include the vanilla at this point.

Microwave at high for a minute or two (try one minute, then if it's not hot enough, another minute), until it is heated through, but not boiled or curdled. Return to blender; add remaining milk, sugar, and vanilla. Also add any alcohol and spices.

Nummy!

Rich and very sweet beverage, may or may not be alcoholic (if so, most commonly spiked with rum). Often flavored with cinnamon and/or nutmeg. Milk/cream blended with eggs and sugar, essentially.

Really yummy. [Big Grin]

I don't like egg nog either, but my husband loves it. He likes to add sprite or 7-up to it to thin it out a little.

1) Closest Walmart is 45+ minutes away.

2) I refuse to support Walmart's business practices.

Thanks for the suggestion, though! [Smile]

Ralphs, Vons, and Albertson's all had it last year. I'll check them out.

I'm a fan of the egg nog as well. [Big Grin]

There's a place near me called Oberweis Dairy and every December they have egg nog ice cream. They also have peppermint ice cream, mmmm.

Are you in the Chicago area or has Oberweis expanded? Their egg nog is YUMMY!!!! I haven't had the ice cream (any flavor) yet, I don't buy it often as I typically don't have the room in my freezer.

I love eggnog, too, but the store bought stuff is too sweet for me, so I make my own. These days I use one of the commercial egg white products (I like All Whites) instead of raw eggs. It comes out nummy. [Big Grin]

I love egg nog. Store-bought, homemade, dairy-bought, however I can get it, it's great. With milk, with rum, plain, it's all fantastic.

Yummy!

I forgot to look at the grocery store tonight. Maybe next week...

I love the flavor, but the idea of the raw eggs turns me off but good.

Please tell me the store-bought stuff isn't filled with raw eggs, only the homemade stuff.

Ralphie, the store-bought stuff is pasteurized. And if one uses the microwave method I outlined above (or something similar), you need not fear raw eggs in the homemade stuff either.

No, see, after you (or someone who is preparing the beverage for m'lady's delicate palate) have nuked the egg mixture, they're NOT raw any longer.
