OMGosh - does it come with the address of the nearest cardiology ICU?
But it's soooo good.

I'm going to try and make some with fake eggs, fake sugar, etc. to try and hold off that by-pass surgery...

For grins, I'm going to figure the nutrition.

[avalen]

oh I can do that for ya Mitch......
nutrition = yum yum

well, I do need more protein and more potassium and which fat is the good one? <---this is me grinning you know cause I enjoy being
silly and lately I've been out of control with silliness and its not the sugar, (I don't think) I've stayed away from all the HIGH FRUCTOSE CORNSYRUP.
Oh wait, maybe I'll take that back EVERYTHING IN THE MARKET has high fructose cornsyrup in it. Honestly, I've mostly consumed meat lately

Haha, guess it's a good thing egg nog has never been a favorite of mine. I easily skip it and any recipe containing it. I have enough fattening and sugar heavy things I have too much trouble skipping ... nice for one to be easy to pass.

Mitch, is that nutrition for the whole bowl? What about just one little tiny cup? I love eggnog!

It's ONE serving!! (Ava's recipe said 12 servings, so I just divided the whole by 12). Here's the info for the entire recipe:



I ran the numbers for volume, although I could not figure out how much volume a pound of sugar would add...this recipe, divided by 12 servings equals 8.91 oz. per serving, so it's a BIG glass. (and you just know I couldn't do the math WITHOUT the rum. )

I am so hungry for some eggnog now!!! I have to get my "healthy" ingredients today...

Ava, I've seen full body shots of you - you are so thin, you can afford to drink this.
I'm jealous!!! You're lucky.
(thanks, Mom, for giving me your body genes...)

[avalen]

haha, no I'm not thin,but I do a very good job of hiding that inner tube I wear around my middle but thank you Mitch
oh and I use the tallest glass in the cabinet cause I'm a pig and want a lot of eggnog.

HOLY CRAP !!!!!!!
That stuff will send you to the hospital for sure. But oh, what a way to go. I can feel my diabetis count going up, just reading the ingredients

Well the sodium is not bad for one serving. I always check that first.
