I make a sugar-free eggnog (a total of 20 eggs, 1 quart of half-and-half, 1 quart of cream—no lightweight, this nog) that is so incredible no one has ever been able to tell—not even the Atkins-loathing, born-skinny, sugar pushers that irritate the hell out of us at the holidays for losing all the weight we've gained. With it, I make an unreal New York cheesecake. I haven't tried the pork, but that might be on the list. I just finished The Soul of a Chef and have to write a four-page review for my MFA work this semester. I came to your blog to procrastinate. And now I have to check out aged egg nog.

I'll pass on the eggnog, make mine a Ramos Fizz and tell Blake Bailey I'm going to read his book. Richard Yates, I love him.

No, this isn't advertising spam. It's just comletely terrific, and I wanted to spread the word.

Add a healthy jolt of Bacardi (black - white is for mojitos and will NOT do!), and some nutmeg across the top, and - well, you're everyone's darling. Until the hangover clears, at least (!)

Here is a link: http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,,FOOD_9936_32424,00.html?rsrc=search Turns out I only did not like the thick cooked gloppy commercial egg nog. This stuff here makes about a good sized pitcher that I try and make a couple of times during December. Just finished one last night, time to make another. Ruhlman, glad to hear u use Maker's Mark too. I thought I did not like eggnog too, until I saw Alton Brown make one and then tried his recipe. Here is a link:

I bought it but haven't read it yet. Maybe I'll pull it out for the holidays. Yates' Revolutionary Road is one of maybe five books that's had a lasting impact on my outlook on life-- not a cheering one, I'm afraid.
