Billy Cherry, Merry Christmas and Good Cheer to you and yours. I just might try this cup of cheer. It sounds pretty good.

I haven't made fresh homemade eggnog is over a decade...

You just inspired me to get out my Brandy :)

Bill, I have to be honest I have never made fresh eggnog.  I will continue being honest in that I didn't know it was made from raw eggs.  I guess it makes sense named Eggnog but somehow the raw egg part doesn't thrill me.  I guess it is one of those things you just have to enjoy and not think about the ingredients.

The original recipes were made with raw eggs.  Casear dressing was made with a raw egg as was milk punch and on an on.

When the world began to worry about non-cooked eggs, ways were dreamed up to make eggnog with cooked eggs, Caesar dressing was screwed up completely and milk punch became unpopular because it was unchangeable.

Now apparently like the cranberry sauce cancer scare of a few decades ago, scientists have decided fresh eggs have about an equal chance of making people ill, whether raw or cooked.  Eggnog and Caesar dressing have returned to many pallets.

I hope you do try it, and I most sincerely wish you and your family a fabulous Christmas.  I've learned a lot of good things from you this past year.  Thanks for that.

Bill, oh how delicious eggnog tastes!  But I'm oft reminded of the phrase "a moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips."  Time to really utilize that gym membership.

Bill...I know you have said you make an eggnog too. Is this the recipe?
