Decmeber et al.

Well now that December has arrived we can now start doing fun wintery type shit. This means x-country skiing, downhill skiing, and doing the winter drink thing :-)

As such below are two of my favorite holiday recipies, that even idiots should be able to manage

T&B Beal Eggnog

1 Cup Sugar
1 quart of heavy cream
stir together and set aside

separate 8 eggs into two bowls (yokes in one, whites in the other)
Beat the egg-whites until they form stiff peaks and set aside
take 7 of the egg yokes and beat until they are well blended (aka light and frothy)

mix the cream and sugar mixture into the egg yokes

fold in the egg whites

add 1 table-spoon of freshly ground nutmeg

stirr in 7oz of dark rum and 3oz of cognac

refrigerate for a couple of hours or a day before serving.
make sure you stir atleast once a day or the stuff will separate.
IT MUST BE KEPT COLD. If you leave it unrefrigerated overnight, throw it out
---------------------------------------
Sugar Pecans

pre-heat oven to 225
add 1 egg-white and 1tsp of water
beat until soft peaks form

slowly add (while beating) 1/2 cup of sugar, 1 tsp of cinnamon

add 5 cups of pecans, fold together until the pecans are completely covered

spread on a cookie sheet and dake in the oven for 1 hour
turning the pecans every 15 minutes.

let cook and eat :-)
