HOLIDAY SPIRIT

Just like the Baldwin Sisters on the Walton's, there is a long family recipe of my aunt and uncles come the holiday, sure to put you into a lovely holiday mood. After a cup or three of these you will be in a swell mood, and if your hosting or going to a party, this will be a sure fire way to liven it up.We often find ourselves ill prepared for a holiday soiree, and this gem is a quick remedy if need be. It's the Elder Family Nog!!!

Elder Egg Nog
6 eggs yolks
1 cup of granulated sugar
1 cup of cognac
2 tablespoon vanilla
1 cup of rum
2 qts of light cream
6 egg whites
1/2 cup of 10x sugar

First you'll want to taste test the hootch, you know, make sure it is ok. Oh look, I just found an empty glass with ice in it. Well we can't have that now in my house.
Now here comes the fun part. In a large bowl beat, and I mean beat, the separated egg yolks till nice and thick, then add granulated sugar beating and beating it, till light. Please... you guys like beating spare me.
Now , taste test the cognac and rum again, just to double check it's still ok to use. Slowly stir in rum and cognac.
Add 1 1/2 qts cream, 2 tablespoon vanilla, and 1/2 the egg whites, and beat it, beat it real good until will combined.
It will look nice and smooth like such. It's that wonderful..Happy Holidaze everybody.

In another bowl,  beat, I told you there was lots of beating it, the remaining egg whites till nice and foamy...gradually add in the 10x sugar..beating it after each entry.
Take another swig of the remaining  cognac and if see it alright still. Hell add another picnch I say. Noe listen here...gently stir egg whites and remaining cream into the egg yolk mixture, stir and beat gently. And then put in the damn refigitor. Chill for some time. In the meantime, how's about fixing a nice cognac on the rocks in a tub, err glass on the rocks then nog done chillin.
Now there the Mistrees is good tight and lit we take now out of the big box then makes things cool, and pouring a lovely glass of egg nog. It will look creamy and frothy and semi thick... like Margie McClure, who stuffs herself into that holiday dress at the womans auxiliary. I say just because it comes in your size doesn't mean you should wear it! Anywhore, Grate and dust some nutmeg on the top. The drink, not the houseboy. If you can see unlike me, it will look like this dear readers. Serve with stolen, cookies or on the abs of a houseboy.
 Where was I?  Oh.....Now that is how that for some holidays cheer? 
I say what the hell, take to the stuck up neighbors party and liven it up, lord knows her party needs all the help it can get.... or have hunky neighbor in for some holiday merriment, and Happy Holidaze from the Mistress everybody you have a good one......🎢🎢 Ring aling, ding a ling, soon it will be Christmas day...🎡🎢 and Ill probably wake up naked under the tree again...

  3. Shades of Vitameatavegamin, Lucy! Preparing seems to be more fun than consuming!
    Me? Go to store, pick up Southern Comfort eggnog, add some rum, wait for blood sugar levels to rise and prepare for incoming yeast infection! Since I don't do holidays, it ain't worth the trouble or suffering :)

    1. I'll take your words on that tootes. I hesitate to get it at the store...in the past it tends to be thick like buttermilk.

    2. Eggnog is not supposed to be thick? I've always had it that way. If you add enough liquor to it, it thins out a bit. I do like it in ice cream form also.

    3. Yes, Deedles, for some reason the homemade kind is light and fluffy, almost like when a milkshake starts melting. It is tasty.

  4. I have a similar recipe: you combine the yolks, whites and sugars, folding carefully. When fully combined, throw it out and enjoy the cognac and rum. 😎

    1. Throw out the folding carefully part and I'm totally on board!

    2. That's like one time when I made a run cake. Someone got a cake, and I was drunk.

  5. I might actually try making this! One of our good friends can't give up all her American traditions and I'll bet this is better than any eggnog she's ever had.

  6. I'll stick to a glass or ten of Port. Jx

    1. Dave R don't your know that there are electronic gadgets for that sort of stuff! Saves wear and tear on the wrists.
      What I would like to know is, what is 10x sugar? Is that the size pants I'd need after drinking this stuff?

      Delete
    2. confectioners sugar or powdered sugar. that white stuff in a box.

      Delete
    3. Thanks, Anne Marie. Fifty years of baking and I've never heard it called that. I was still right about the pants size though.

    4. Over here, the finest (and sweetest) ground variety is called icing sugar, and the one that is between powder and granulated is called caster sugar. Mind you, in the UK we also use actual measures (ounces/pints or grammes/litres) rather than "cups", so recipes can be quite difficult to interpret... Jx

  10. I tried this one time when you posted the recipe before....and have made it ever since. One of the best egg nogs I tried. Light, and fluffy, not thick like the store bought shit. And it had kick.

    Are you hung today dear?

  11. You are a crack up Mistress. But you better I'll be trying this recipe. Sound delish....and appartenly mind altering.

  12. I can't stand the store bought crap. Homemade is always better and this sounds easy too. I may try it too.

  13. This is even better than Mom's original recipe! Must have been the 2 liquors. Fantastic! And if it's like the Baldwins Sisters "recipe" look out! I love egg nog.

    ReplyDelete
  14. By far, the best eggnong recipe out there. I have to admit that sometimes I do cheat and buy the eggnog, but I still use your liquor ratio. I remember you posting it a long time ago, and I made it... always a BIG hit at Christmas parties, even for those who think they don't like eggnog.

  15. "frothy and semi thick... like Margie McClure, who stuffs herself into that holiday dress at the womans auxiliary. I say just because it comes in your size doesn't mean you should wear it!" This had me rolling...your terrible Muriel. But the recipe sounds amazing.

  17. Good night, John-Boy.

  18. This is beyond delicious! I've also added a bit of sherry (ran out of cognac) and that works too - makes it a bit sweeter. A huge hit at any party! Thanks for posting this again. Did you sleep the effects off yet?????

  19. That sounds... yummy but a lot of work. Can I go straight to the rum part?

  20. Your Elder Egg Nog recipe is dynamic - and the accompanying photos make it even better.
