Wow! How time does fly... December already!

~A lovely picture I found~

Today I washed all our windows (not the upstairs) in the except 4. I also helped Mama and Grace with dinner and got the house cleaned. We had our neighbor over for venison dinner. No, my brother did not get a deer. Our neighbor kindly shared some with us. Rifle season is over and now my brother can only go out with a bow. He was so busy the two weeks of rifle season processing deer for other hunters that he only went out several times. For desert, we had the coffeecakes I made yesterday and some stollen bread (the kind with candied fruit in it). I also made yummy eggnog!

Here is the recipe if you would like to make it!

6 fresh eggs

1 cup granulated sugar, divided use

2 cups heavy cream

2 cups milk

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

*see note*

1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

Freshly grated nutmeg for sprinkling

-----------------------------------------------

In large bowl, beat whites until fluffy; add 1/2 cup sugar.

In an another larger bowl beat yolks until creamy; add 1/2 cup sugar. Fold egg whites into beaten yolks. Carefully stir in the cream, milk and nutmeg. Pour into a large punch bowl.

To serve, ladle into cups and sprinkle top with nutmeg, as desired

*I add a tablespoon of rum for flavoring at this point. It gives a wonderful eggnog flavor! You can buy rum flavoring if you prefer that better.*

Enjoy!
