How to Make Eggnog!
The other day I decided to make homemade eggnog for my White Elephant party tomorrow night. Because Alton Brown is my kitchen hero, I immediately headed over to foodtv.com and found his recipe. I decided to test several versions, and photograph & document the process for you guys. I started by trying the uncooked version. Obviously, if you’re concerned about salmonella, use pasteurized eggs. Verdict: Easy and Yummy.
Version 2 was the cooked version, also from Alton. Verdict: More difficult, but I haven’t tasted it yet! (It’s still chilling). See below the pic for the how-to’s.

OK, so there’s nothing really particularly Christmas-y about these, but don’t they just scream HOME? (Want more Xmas-y? Check out these Christmas Tree Cookies from earlier this week)

When we got to our thanksgiving destination, they were making these, so I had to grab the camera and document the process for you guys. And of course I got roped into doing a few myself too!
