Egg nog syrup ingredients: sugar, water, natural and artificial flavorings, citric acid, yellow 5. That's not very informative. I suspect it's just the spices that would go in eggnog, but I am frankly a little afraid and haven't opened it, yet, so I don't know.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
For me, the spices that would go in eggnog are cinnamon and nutmeg. I wonder what's all up in there.

Tangentially, now that it is eggnog season, I don't have ready access to fresh eggs. Alas.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Ever since the Christmas the whole household--including the cats, who got spoonsful in their saucers--came down with salmonella, I use Eggbeaters for my eggnog. Not as good, but almost. I miss whole-egg eggnog. But not enough to risk that misery.

I am not a fan of nog. But here's what's excellent -- S. brought me a gingerbread latte just now and I put whipped cream on it. Nom.

You don't have to risk salmonella to make egg nog with eggs--mine are cooked.

Is it mix to put in hot buttered rum? Or is it butter and rum flavoured?
The former. I just used a bunch of it to sprinkle on top of the olive oil pumpkin*/carrot bread I'm making.
*actually two celebration squashes and an acorn. But that would make the name too long.

I have time! I have inclination! Hook me up, Amy! I was thinking about pruning the juniper and using the branches with a little recycled Orvis ribbon for greenery. And I got free poinsettias from the church last night, although I don`t know if they`ll last till Christmas.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Video of the Metrodome collapsing. Whoah.
Wow. Did you notice the dark streak of someone running along the sideline as the roof starts bulging inward? Why would someone be on the floor after they knew the roof was leaking?
