Eggnog

Do you remember eggnog?  Not the stuff they sell as eggnog in the stores today, but the real eggnog with eggs and milk and sugar and maybe a little vanilla and nutmeg sprinkled on top?  I remember eggnog – I loved eggnog, I thought it was one of the wonderful things in the world when I was a kid.

Today, eggnog is a processed drink, it has all kinds of flavorings and thickeners added and it just doesn’t taste the same.  Most people don’t make their own anymore because of Mr. Salmonella.

Last week we found ourselves in a Starbucks where the praises of eggnog were being discussed by the crew.  Starbucks is gearing up for their eggnog lattes and such.  One gal was saying how disgusting eggnog was, and another guy countered with, “Eggnog is heaven.”

We got our drinks and headed for the condiment bar when the guy who thought eggnog was “heaven” tried to end the argument by asking the gal to remember how in the Bible, Moses turned water into eggnog.

He didn’t see us leaving, but as we went out the door we were smiling from ear to ear…..
