Last night was a special night. I had the best Indian food of my entire life. This took place at the house of our Indian friends Arnab and Sucharita, where we were invited for an all-vegetarian dinner. The food was divine. I don’t remember the names of the dishes but they were really out of this world! Oh my!
On a different note, Christmas is near and the husband is craving! He wants eggnog! Any good recipes out there? I have never had this drink. I don’t even know what it looks like. Help is urgently needed!
Did you tell your friend “arnab” what his name means in arabic?
😀
use your Aunt Karen’s, it looks good 🙂
Okay okay, recipe please!
from your greedy friend: can you please make gingerbread with that? Thanks, much appreciated 🙂
Thanks Aunt K. You are the best;-) Let’s see if I will be able to do this. I wil keep you updated;-)
Try this one.
Creamy Egg Nog #1
1 dozen eggs, separated
1/2 tsp salt
2 1/4 cups sugar
2 cups bourbon (optional. Use more or less if desired)
1/2 cup rum (optional. Use more or less if desired)
1 quart milk (add another pint of milk if not using liquor)
2 Tbl vanilla
3 pints heavy cream
Nutmeg
Beat together the egg yolks and salt in a large mixing bowl, slowly adding 1 1/2 cups of the sugar. Continue beating until tick and pale. Stir in the bourbon, rum, milk and vanilla until well mixed. Beat the egg whites until foamy and slowly add the remaining 3/4 cup sugar, continuing to beat until stiff and all the sugar has been incorporated. Whip the cream until stiff. Now fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture and then fold in the whipped cream. Taste and add more bourbon and/or sugar if necessary. Pour into a punch bowl and sprinkle with nutmeg. The punch bowl can be sitting in a bed of ice to help keep chilled.
