Sometimes you have to break a few eggs...

Last night we made eggnog using the "ancient family recipe".


Doug and I got everything ready.


We waited for our guest chef to arrive...



We broke and separated many eggs...


We had to beat the whites half at a time because they fluff up so much the mixer could only hold half...


Two turns of whipped egg whites looked like this...


Next I whipped the yolks...


We added the sugar and whipped the yolks some more and then poured them into a 12 quart pot. After pouring in a gallon of milk and a quart of heavy cream we added the liquour...


Then we very slowly folded in the whipped egg whites...


It has a tendancy to foam up at this point so we folded and stirred until it look like this...


Then it was time to test the batch to see how it turned out...


It was good!

Merry Christmas Everyone!
