Does anyone love eggnog? I like it, its an interesting drink that has an interesting history.
“The true story might be a mixture of the two and eggnog was originally called “egg and grog in a noggin”. This was a term that required shortening if ever there was one.
With it’s European roots and the availability of the ingredients, eggnog soon became a popular wintertime drink throughout Colonial America. It had much to recomend it; it was rich, spicy, and alcoholic.”
Personally, I only like a little glass of it about once a year around the holidays. I did however find a way to use all that excess “nog” I have sittin’ in my fridge….Triple Layer Eggnog Pie.
Check out the recipe!

Yes, I too love Eggnog. I’ve had a bit more than a glass so far this season and I’m looking forward to more next week.
