I haven't had eggnog in years. Mainly because of the calories I guess. This one sounded really tempting. Pretty alcoholic too I think.
Martha Stewart's Eggnog
This eggnog's rich, cloud like texture is produced by separating the eggs and beating the whites before adding them to the milk mixture. The eggnog base can be made one day in
advance; just beat in the stiff egg whites and whipped cream just before serving.

Fortunately I'm not a fan at all of eggnog.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I am a fan JoJo
DeleteHa, ha, I'm not a fan either, but hubby and sons love the stuff!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jo!
I'm with hubby and sons then Yolanda. Wish I could indulge as much as I once did, but having lost a lot of weight, I don't want to put it back.
DeleteHappy Saturday. Enjoy your dinner party.
ReplyDeleteThanks it was fun although guests not that keen on chicken apparently Ivy.
DeleteI just read that in your other post. Sorry to hear that didn't fancy it. I of course, love paprika and chicken. Though I ran out of sweet paprika and bought more today.
DeleteNot so much the sauce as the chicken they weren't keen on Ivy.
DeleteDid they tell you what they didn't like?
DeleteThey are very old friends and I guess I never realised they didn't much like chicken Ivy. I know most of their other likes and dislikes, there are quite a lot of them.
DeleteI will pass this on to my husband Jo. He loves eggnog and buys it from the supermarket in a carton which is very expensive. Plus it's clearly not the real thing!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure he will find it better than the stuff from the supermarket Pinky. Not sure this would be very cheap with all that liquor.
DeleteI love eggnog! Thanks so much for sharing, Jo! Hope your dinner party was fantastic. :)
ReplyDeleteMe too Linda, not 100 % fantastic unfortunately. Turns out they are not big on chicken.
DeleteHi Jo - I personally cannot stand egg-nog .. but we don't seem to see it here ... well I haven't. I had it when I visited the States in the 70s ... and put on a lot of weight ... mostly that I suspect! Cheers and have a good last few days ... Hilary
ReplyDeleteNo I don't remember it in England Hilary, although I have a Mrs. Beeton's recipe for it. The stores all sell it here of course, and we have bought it in the past. It is good for weight gain!! You too. Be a busy week here I suspect.
DeleteI love eggnog and this recipe looks very similar to mine. Unfortunately, (or fortunately for my weight), I am the only one in my family who likes it, so I never make it. Your guests sound rather ungrateful. Did they actually say they didn't like chicken?
ReplyDeleteThere's a lot of alcohol in it Denise, more than usual I thought. Well the wife and I were talking before dinner and she mentioned her hubby didn't like chicken, when I expressed concern, she said he does eat it though. However, he didn't eat much of his portion and even she didn't finish her portion but they assured me they neither of them eat much any more - they split a fillet mignon between them?
DeleteWell, I never added the full amount of alcohol. Split a filet? I suppose if it is an 8 ounce filet that would be OK. I have friends who split a sandwich at Arby's. If she let the guy eat more, I think he might have more energy, lol.
DeleteI think, but couldn't swear to it, that the recipes I have for eggnog only include one alcohol, usually rum, sometimes brandy.
DeleteNo she meant a small fillet Denise. It is a fact that many older people lose their appetites. I should be so lucky.
The eggnog sounds decadent but there is the dreaded Cognac which I can't even smell, even after all these years. Let's just say I was a foolish 19 yr old:)
ReplyDeleteIt isn't the brandy's fault Birgit.
