The best thing about making eggnog for 50 people is when the checkout
ladies at the grocery store try to guess what you might be doing with
all those eggs and all that cream. "Are you making some... cake?" Once I
explain what eggnog is, they want all the details. Is it served warm or
cold? In a mug, juice glass, wine glass? They ask a million questions,
repeat all the ingredients like they're going to be tested on it later,
and then one goes in the back and brings out a half dozen new containers
of cream, saying they're fresher than what's on the shelf and will be
more delicious.
It's the first time they've ever said a word to
me beyond "Do you have your point card?" and "Here is your change." They wave as I leave, still
chatting and laughing to each other.
I use this easy eggnog recipe
with great results every time. It tastes good after sitting overnight,
and the second (and third) batch whipped up in the middle of the party
is great right away, too. Cheers!
