Okay. Entertain me.

[kyburg]

Everyone has leftovers. Yes, even you. I saw what you hid there.

Eggnog. It has been both the boon and the bane of the season. Time to wave it adieu for another season.

Entertain me. Tell me what Skippy is NOT allowed to do with the eggnog. I'll start.

1. Skippy may NOT use eggnog as a substitute for milk when making the mashed potatoes.

Go for it. Make me proud.

Not allowed?

Awww...

Ever try it in hot cocoa? Coffee?

[elfwench.livejournal.com]

I was just wondering how it would taste in place of coffee creamer! Very yum, I take it?

[caitlin.livejournal.com]

I don't tend to drink coffee, but I put it in my hot cocoa a few times this season and it is barely noticeable. I liked it anyway. =D

[purdypiedad.livejournal.com]

There is nothing better than an eggnog latte!

[anahata56.livejournal.com]

It makes KILLER French toast.

So yeah--not allowed.

[odiedragon.livejournal.com]

D'oh! I posted the same thing below.

But it has to be made from scratch...

[kyburg.livejournal.com]

I would imagine bread pudding would also be improved...if you could stand all the sugar, of course.

[turandot.livejournal.com]

Bread pudding around here is made with cream and eggs, so I would assume that eggnog would fit right in.

Funnily enough, I adore Christmas themed bread pudding (made it for two halves of family this year), but don't really like to drink eggnog.

[redqueenofevil.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes. I agree with this!

[snobahr.livejournal.com]

2. Skippy may NOT use eggnog as glue for Tournament of Roses floats.

[caitlin.livejournal.com]

Erm.... eew?

One of my coworkers mixes eggnog with milk and drinks it that way because it thins it out some.

[kyburg.livejournal.com]

Inquiring minds wanna know. You tried this?

(Cal Poly Alum, Nestle family member...yes, I've had plenty of contact with making Rose floats. Oy.)

[snobahr.livejournal.com]

Nah, I'm just pulling things out of my well-padded posterior. Same with my follow-up responses below. I glued flowers one year when I was in Rainbow Girls. It was fun but damned cold. Chrono helped build floats for several years, before I met him.

[yasha-chan.livejournal.com]

Once when I was about 4 years old I grabbed the egg nog instead of the milk for my cereal. It was terrible. I've never been able to have it since.

[kyburg.livejournal.com]

3. Skippy may NOT pour eggnog on Fruit Loops.

So noted.

[ragani.livejournal.com]

However, if Skippy is a member of my family, it may be used for Grapenuts, as that is a family tradition for Xmas morning breakfast (I think it started as a dare).

[kyburg.livejournal.com]

Oh dear GHAD.

[ragani.livejournal.com]

The year we were in Puerto Vallarta, my sister and I made egg nog from scratch so we could continue the tradition. We saw that they had Grapenuts in the store, but no egg nog, so we found a recipe and got the ingredients instead. I still figure it was started because of a dare between my dad and his sibs when they were kids, but my granddad actually likes it, and, when we have the components handy, is often the first to indulge.

[kyburg.livejournal.com]

That's...dedication. Tell me you do it hot and I'll dance a jig.

[ragani.livejournal.com]

Not usually, although, with Grapenuts, that would work too. Funny thing is, I hate Grapenuts. It was the only mainstream (you could get in a typical grocery store, not health food store) cereal my mom allowed in the house when I was a kid and that always ticked me off because I never even liked it.

[gvdub.livejournal.com]

Skippy may not pour the eggnog into bullet molds, freeze them, then use them to assassinate Santa Claus in an untraceable way (because Santa's blood is already so loaded with eggnog that nobody would be able to tell).

On the other hand, making eggnog ice cream/ice milk isn't a bad idea.

[kyburg.livejournal.com]

Mebbe if you used liquid nitrogen or something to make them REALLY hard, and used it as a combustion method....

Mythbusters kinda put the kabosh on using anything frozen as a round. Combustion kinda destroyed the rounds on firing, doncha know....

[gvdub.livejournal.com]

On the other hand, if the intended victim is of a magical nature, you need magical ammunition.

Airgun, not chemical propulsion. You need to get a little closer, but you get rid of all the problems associated with hot gas. As a matter of fact, the expanding compressed air causes a drop in temperature and helps preserve the ammo.

[kyburg.livejournal.com]

The only magic in eggnog is the preservatives.

AIRSOFT FTW.

[gvdub.livejournal.com]

Not if you make it in the proper Christmas spirit. My family tradition is to make the eggnog from scratch – store-bought eggnog is evil.

[gvdub.livejournal.com]

With the possible exception of Brogiure's, that is.

[caitlin.livejournal.com]

I bought a bottle of really good eggnog around Thanksgiving this year.

I thought it was really good, and there was none of the chemicals and such in it.

[kyburg.livejournal.com]

You're in the blessed land of agriculture. Don't need that new-fangled stuff!

[odiedragon.livejournal.com]

Mashed potateos, no.

French toast however? Yes. VERY YES.

(if it's made from scratch that is. I can't vouch for the storebought stuff.)

[kyburg.livejournal.com]

Using that old Panetone loaf as well? FTW!

[snobahr.livejournal.com]

Skippy may NOT use eggnog as embalming fluid.
Skippy may NOT use eggnog to spike the gas tanks of people who take up 2 (or more) Compact Car spaces in parking lots with their oversized, gas-guzzling artificial penii.
Skippy may NOT use eggnog as housepaint.
- or spackle.
- or any home repair item.

[kyburg.livejournal.com]

*dies*

[gvdub.livejournal.com]

Milk-based paint works very nicely, as does egg-based tempera, and the fresh nutmeg odor would add a festive scent to the proceedings.

[kyburg.livejournal.com]

Until the mold sets in. Veeeeery scary.

[purdypiedad.livejournal.com]

OMG. That's hilarious.

[ziactrice.livejournal.com]

Skippy may NOT repaint the bathroom or any other walls using the eggnog.

[kyburg.livejournal.com]

Agreed.

[simgaroop.livejournal.com]

The only time I've tried eggnog was two years ago. I went to Orlando and in a Starbucks they were selling something called "Eggnog Latte". Curiosity for trying out this so-mentioned Christmas drink that is not available in my country, I ordered one.

It tasked horrible. I need to try out the real thing someday :S.

So, Skippy may NOT use eggnog as a substitute for milk when making latter or capuccino >___<.

[kyburg.livejournal.com]

Bitter! Yes, I imagine this would be a nasty surprise.

Think a non-cooked egg custard...that's drinkable.

Yup. I described this stuff once to my Swiss family and they found the idea dismaying...at the best!

[redqueenofevil.livejournal.com]

It's unfortunate, but Starbucks' eggnog lattes aren't that great. I've had tasty eggnog lattes, but never from Starbucks.

Happy New Year, btw.

[wldrose.livejournal.com]

here via friends of friends Dont ever ever use eggnog rather than milk in rice pudding. You wont forgive yourself. nope dont take a half cup of rice, 3 cups of nog, a bit more sugar, a pich of nutmeg, and salt, and simmer it on the stove top adding raisins at the end (40 mins around) Eating it warm would be bad and cooling it in the fridge for consumption at 3am would never do.

ash

[kyburg.livejournal.com]

Hmmm. Don't add any more sugar. Hmmm. Maybe some boozins instead.

This...has merit. Skippy approves.

[ionotter.livejournal.com]

Substitute eggnog for the chicken & rice MRE on Rule 207

[kyburg.livejournal.com]

Oh my.

I love Skippy

[moropus.livejournal.com]

Skippy may not try to collect enough eggnog to reenact milk baths.
Skippy may not use eggnog for any sexual purpose.
Skippy may not use eggnog to write his name in the snow.

[unclejimbo.livejournal.com]

Skippy may not use Egg Nog to wash the car... Evah!

[redqueenofevil.livejournal.com]

I realize this is somewhat past the date, and boring by other standards, but here goes:

Eggnog french toast IS awesome, and eggnog lattes NOT from starbucks is awesome too.

You can also add eggnog to your pancake and waffle batters, but not to your scrambled eggs. Skippy says that scrambled eggs with eggnog is icky.

And if you like alcohol in your nog, which was the only way I could drink it for a long time, please not to be using rum. Rum causes this Skippy to instavomit (is allergic). Makersmark bourbon is much better. Also, please to be avoiding rye whiskey, no matter what Skippy's spouse says.
