Hint: Blood of Christ? NOT RED WINE.
Take, drink - this is the nog of Christ....
Wash: So, two days in a hospital? That's awful. Don't you just hate doctors? Simon: Hey. Wash: I mean, present company excluded. Jayne: Let's not be excluding people. That'd be rude.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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...

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
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...

I hate the taste of eggs. My egg nog, rummed or not..wait, what am I saying...I've never actually tasted the unrummed, doesn't taste anything like them. It tastes of fresh nutmeg and rum and milky creamy goodness.

mmmmm. That's true, I do know you. But I didn't know you made egg nog.
Once I tried real egg nog the store bought stuff became fairly unpalatable to me.
It tastes of fresh nutmeg and rum and milky creamy goodness.
So true. Plus it's very textural somehow.
