What I Love About the Holidays

0 Comments

I must admit that I do love this time of the year! I believe in the beauty and spirit of the holiday season; of joy trumping stress, of giving over getting, making merry and spreading glad tidings.

I love:

  • Belting out Christmas songs – and not feeling self-conscious about my singing.
  • Every gathering includes finding cheer in a bottle of anything containing alcohol.
  • Fondly remembering holiday seasons past with family and friends.
  • Sparkle, shimmer and all sequin everything.
  • Over indulging in all things sweet that come wrapped in a bow.
  • The fact that people, who may otherwise not do so the rest of the year, now smile more readily, forget their woes for a little while and adopt a cheery disposition.
  • Deciding to drive home the long way simply to enjoy all of the holiday lights and decorations.
  • Receiving Holiday cards and emails, aka “year in review” updates.
  • Realizing that the love you have in your life from family and friends is the ONLY gift you need…any holiday season.

Deck the Halls with Eggnog

Would the Holiday season feel as festive….without Eggnog?

Eggnog, the drink that stirs up memories for most people. You either love it or hate it, but no matter how you feel, it has become embedded in our holiday traditions. If you have tried it and found it to be distasteful maybe you just haven’t had really GOOD eggnog!

Ingredients

  • 3 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 2.5 cups of milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • a pinch of nutmeg
  • Rum, Bourbon or Brandy (optional)

Directions

  • In a heavy, saucepan, combine eggs, white sugar, and salt; gradually stir in milk. Stirring constantly, cook for 10 to 15 minutes over medium heat, until mixture just coats a metal spoon. Remove from heat, and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Place saucepan over ice water until custard cools, and then refrigerate until chilled.
  • In a chilled bowl, combine heavy cream, confectioners’ sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat until stiff peaks form. Stir in your “optional” liquor of choice. Fold whipped cream mixture into the cooled custard. Pour into serving bowl, and sprinkle with nutmeg.

Serve immediately and enjoy!
