Is egg nog strictly a Christmas drink, then? What's Christian about it?

Christ died to save the eggs. Or something. PLus 'nog' can be rearranged to spell 'God.' If you change the n to a d.

I don't think it's a Christmas associated directly with Christian drink, but more a traditional holiday drink that started when people wore onions on their belts, which was the fashion at the time.

Hint: Blood of Christ? NOT RED WINE.

Take, drink - this is the nog of Christ....

conclusion, hell if we know

I've told my story about my brother's homemade eggnog and very bad timing, haven't I?

Well, allow me to tell it again.

This happened when I was in college, home for Christmas break. My brother and I were out Christmas shopping, and while driving around, we saw a billboard exhorting us to buy eggnog.

Now, my brother makes excellent nog. He learned as kid, for some reason, and everyone just knew that if you wanted killer eggnog, ask my bro to make it for you.

So, upon seeing the billboard, we decided that we should go home, whereupon the bro could make some eggnog. We go home. Among my purchases was the latest issue of Glamour magazine.

While my brother is puttering around in the kitchen making nog, I'm flipping through the magazine. My bro finishes the nog, and brings me a glass.

Right as I go to take my first sip of his eggnog -- that thick, creamy, white(ish) beverage -- I flipped the page in the magazine to an article titled "Should You Swallow?"

I swear to you this is true.

I managed to not spit out the nog.

Swap the oil for the butter in a hot buttered something? Mmm, hot oiled Bourbon.

Genius. I bet that would be delicious with Meyer lemon infused olive oil.

Happy Hannukah, buffistas!

The only person I've ever known who made homemade egg nog (apart from Steph's brother, that is) is Jewish. Makes a big batch to serve on Boxing Day every year. mmmmm.

You know me, Burrell. I've been making the family nog since I was wee too. When I started university some friends asked me to make it without rum. They responded to my confusion by telling me to serve it to them before I put the rum in. Like it's egg nog before the rum goes in...

I think all I actually know about egg nog is that should contain a lot of rum and nutmeg. Why would you serve it before that?

I made chocolate eggnog once, and it was pretty good, but it was an awful lot of work and mostly what I liked about it was the chocolate. I like Silk Nog quite a bit, though.

I don't know that I've ever had proper eggnog with booze in...I didn't grow up with it and I'm not really a fan of eggs, so I'd more likely just have the booze...
