Originally Posted By Kennesaw Tom Did I ever mention that KJ's mom wrote a cookbook? My favorite recipe is for Haw Branch Eggnog. Here is it! 18 egg yolks 3 quarts rich milk 1 cup of white sugar 1 pint rum 1 pint Bourbon 1 pint brandy 1 cup port wine 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract 1 teaspoon ground mace 1 pint whipping cream 2 teaspoons white sugar 18 egg whites beaten stiff 1/4 cup white sugar 1 whole nutmeg, fresh grated Beat the egg yould with the cup of sugar and 2 cups of the milk. Add the rum, Bourbon, brandy, port wine, vanilla and mace. Stir in the remainder of milkd and mix thouroughly. Stir in the cream, which has been whipped with 2 teaspoons of sugar. Fold in the beaten egg whites, which have been beaten with 1/4 cup of sugar. Let the eggnog stand at least 2 hours in the cold before serving. After it is placed in the punchbowl, grate fresh nutmeg over the top. This makes about 2 gallons, which will bountifully serve 25 people. It is tradition at Haw Branch to have eggnog during Christmas holidays, on through New Years. Footnote, whenever we follow this recipe for eggnog we buy store bought eggnog and add the booze and spices. I just wanted everyone to have the original recipe.

Originally Posted By DVC_dad eventually the girls laughter fades and they begin walking as a group. Soon they pass under a tall and snow filled Fir tree. "Now Snowy!" Snowy Bear leans and the massive tree trunk and pushes, at first slowly , then faster. As the tree sways, HUGE clumps of snow fall on and near bury the girls. "Here you go Snowy, 6 heads of fresh lettuce and a peck of carrots, That box there holds your new juicer." The boys laugh so hard they can't stand it. "See you later Snowy, uh...you might need some opposable thumbs to work that juicer."
