Coffee anyone ?

[Alaskan]

@Alaskan do the boys have any cooking experience or skills?? Maybe they need to bake a cake for you! Lol

they are very good in the kitchen. ... but limited repertoire.

But yes... we also currently have lots of eggs... might need to pick something for them to make.

Right now though they are cleaning a coop and moving chickens. ... after that lunch, then math... then maybe cake.

Funny that you should mention that. We were out of bourbon, from using the last of the bourbon a few months ago, making Mamma Wall's Eggnog for a neighborhood party. So we went to the liquor store today and bought a big bottle, I mentioned that it was for making eggnog. The owner told me that he had eggnog, I flat out told him that mine was home made and better. My husband told him that store bought eggnog was gross. LOL I told the owner, an Asian fellow, that I used my Great Grandmother's recipe. He asked for the recipe, which I gladly wrote down for him. He was delighted. I went over the directions and he asked for my phone number in case he needed help. He was so nice, and was excited to have the recipe.

Make you take back stuff you never stole, boozy.

Depends on how much you put in! When @Baymule first started talking about it she mentioned drinking it as a child (with parent's permission) and getting ****-faced every Christmas. When I made it I put in half as much booze(rum in our case) as Grandma Wall specified (Bay does the same) and it had plenty of kick. A kid could get ****-faced on that. I suppose if one drinks quite a bit and quite often they could handle the original recipe. Otherwise, I suggest starting with the half dose.

The original recipe takes 12 eggs, 1 pint of heavy cream, 12 tablespoons sugar and 12 shots booze. As you can imagine that ratio is pretty boozy.

 

[Alaskan]

one shot per egg!

Yep. It's really good, even (especially?) at half strength. I think I need to make 1.5 batches. The DDs don't drink and adding the booze after just wouldn't be the same as blending it in during "construction". It gets really "Guzzler's Gin" smooooth (*) after a couple of days in the fridge but will separate so it needs to be shaken up.

BTW, since I cut out 6 shots of booze I added 6 shots of DWs nonfat Lactaid milk. Figured that was an even trade with regard to liquid volume. For my money fat free milk is water anyway

* bonus points if you get the reference

I don't get the bonus points. Coffee is brewed. Add your own alcohol if you want.
