guys I just want to say i'm going to a high-intensity conference this weekend and I will often be comforting myself by going to my "happy place" while there which is me in a quiet comfortable room by a roaring fire, sippin' on a nog think of me
"We've been taunting and teasing you about our year aged egg nog. Well, the bad news is you still have to wait a week. The good news is, starting Nov. 24th this rich, boozy concoction of rum, bourbon, and cognac will be available for your imbibing. There's only 10 gallons available this year, so it should hopefully last through the week!"
guys this is a true thing: whenever I buy nog it is gone ALMOST immediately, because my husband literally just drinks it all in one sitting. It is so fucking weird and disgusting. He'll just pour huge pint glasses full of it until it's gone. Then he's like "I wish we had more nog." I literally can't buy enough nog to keep him in nog. And needless to say I rarely get any nog of my own. Unless you are willing to open it the minute you get out of the store and literally chug it as though it is water, you will not get nog in this house.
I think he is gross and I do not find this story cute
My friend told me that a couple of years ago she drank so much nog that she ended up getting really sick and dehydrated, because it's all she was drinking (no water).
guys I am starting to think that I don't like nog that much
Gary bought really really fancy local organic beautiful home-made real egg nog in a glass bottle and it just doesn't taste good to me. And I realize that it should.
Am I a monster?
I'm going to call my mom and ask if I am a robot. WHY DID YOU NEVER TELL ME
Now I will have to go on an urban adventure with a sex robot played by Jude Law
OMG I had some amazing secret nog made by Tyler at Fenrir last night. It's got brandy and aquavit and was so thick and eggy and weirdly refreshing. Too bad it's #secretnog #notavailabletothepublic
last night I wasn't paying attention until it was too late and Gary had drunk literally like 3 water glasses full of regular full-egg/full-cream nog. He was like "I don't feel so good" and when I realized how much nog he'd had I got so mad. I don't understand why he thinks he can drink the equivalent of like a gallon of raw eggs, cream, and sugar in basically one sitting. I don't understand how anyone would even want to do that.
I think we are going nog-free for the rest of this season. "If you can't be trusted to drink nog like an adult then we can't have any more nog."
We are reading Farmer Boy (Laura Ingalls Wilder) to Calvin. I never read it as a kid. Last night we read the chapter about harvesting the hay, oats, and wheat. They bring in some extra workers and the whole family works their tails off in the hot sun to get all the grain harvested. Imagine my surprise when they stop at mid-day for a super refreshing drink of ... EGG NOG?!?!?!
"In the middle of the morning, Mother blew the dinner horn. Almanzo knew what that meant…Mother met him on the back porch with the milk pail, brimming full of cold egg-nog. The egg-nog was made of milk and cream, with plenty of eggs and sugar. Its foamy top was freckled with spices, and pieces of ice floated in it. The sides of the pail were misty with cold…he set down the pail, he dipped the dipper full, and he drank. The cold egg-nog slid smoothly down his throat, and it made him feel cool inside. …When he reached the hayfield, everyone stopped work. They…passed the dipper from hand to hand until all the egg-nog was gone. Almanzo drank his full share. Lazy John said, wiping the foam from his mustache, ‘Ah! That puts heart into a man!’ …Father always maintained that a man would do more work in his twelve hours, if he had a rest and all the egg-nog he could drink, morning and afternoon.…”
HA HA HA HA, I very strongly remember this scene! God, her descriptions of food are so hallucinatory. Descriptions of food written by someone who has actually known true hunger. They're honestly pornographic. There's that other part in Farmer Boy where she keeps describing the "sleek lumps" of butter and how glossy and sleek and firm they are
EGG NOG on a hot farming day! It's so weird and does not sound refreshing, but maybe it is from a world in which you need so many more calories than you could ever actually get into you, so something about just drinking straight eggs and creams was like your body was crying out for it?? I can't imagine
I read that baked potato chapter to him the other night. He was pretty startled by it and didn't understand the mechanism. "Why did the potato explode?" I believe I convinced him that potatoes are not an impending threat to our family, but I can' t be sure.
