Thank you, pds. Maybe I'm jumping ahead to thoughts of New Year's recipes, but I never have eggnog except maybe once a year. I think I have a recipe somewhere for eggnog cake. Guess visions of sugarplums are dancing in my head.

lol, pdswife, i thought the same thing. it was "oh man, mish is posting another recipe. my spare tire is getting big enough to fit a truck, thanks to her".

[pdswife]

I know... If I cooked every recipe that Mish posted... I'd
be as big as a house. My tummy sure would be happy though.

[mish]

Thank you. You are all in inspiration to me.

Since I love little tiny portions - how about some eggnog shots I'm sort of half kidding...but well a little rum and eggnog in an ice cube tray...could it work? Or - how about an eggnog panna cotta or flan?

mish, I just went lookin' for mom's holiday eggnog but can't find the recipe. I could have sworn I posted it somewhere in here. It's real good.

And when are you going to post the recipe for the eggnog flan????????

Yes, Mish, I DO have a killer eggnog recipe! By far, the best in the universe.

Several years ago, I tried this at a neighbor's house and had to wait an entire year for her to find the recipe again to give me. I made it and it makes a LOT!! Maybe a third more than what's in the bowl in the picture. It's good leftover, but best the night you make it.

Also, as far as your shots go, that's a great idea, since this is so rich and foamy. I didn't have a punch set, so I served this in a borrowed trifle bowl, with an eclectic array of various glasses: martinis, wines, desserts, ballentine beer glasses, liqueur glasses, etc. People could take as little or as much as they wanted, as they chose their own glasses.

I will be making this again this year.

do you think it would still be good without the alcohol in it ?

[QSis]

Yes, middie, I do.
