So, I SCHEDULED this to post during Christmas. But of course that didn't work. A little bit of final holiday rambling in early January...
Did you know that homemade eggnog is made with raw eggs?
Me neither.
I haven't consumed eggnog since the time when I was very small that my dad spiked my holiday beverage with pink liquid amoxicillin. You know the stuff I'm talking about... Not sure how everyone else was, but it didn't matter to me what flavor they tried to make it - bubblegum, cherry - it always was retch-inducingly disgusting. Anyway, nog did nothing to mask the flavor and the two in combination were a taste I will never forget.
I think that any attempt to work myself back around to getting back on the eggnog bicycle should be done with the best of the best. Homemade stuff.
NPR agrees, and takes it a step further - researching the potential dangers of drinking eggnog with raw eggs and determining (with the help of a microbiologist, no less) that nog is safter with alcohol, and plenty of it. This development encourages me to get back on the eggnog bandwagon...
Listen to the story here
And check out the experiment, which you can try at home!
Personally, spiking eggnog with lots of booze sounds WAY better than spiking it with pink medicine.
