I wouldn’t normally do this, but I seriously need your help. The eggnog season is almost upon us, and I want you to direct me to any and all eggnog products you might happen upon. Eggnog, fakenog, eggnog candies, eggnog recipies, eggnog personal lubricants, whatever, I want to hear about it. If you were really nice you would mail it to me, but let’s be honest 1) you people are pretty much the dregs of society, and general all-around douchebags and 2) because of your aforementioned douchebaggery I would be extrememly hesitant to give you social maladroits my address. However, I do love me some nog. Just check out these previous nog posts. So if you have some sort of nog related item that you’d like to tip me off about, send me an email. But if your nogliscious item might be hard to find in my area, I would really appreciate it if you send it my way.
For those of you already giddy at the thought of me punishing my body with sometimes-tangentially-nog-related-items for the second year in a row, rest assured that I’ve already consumed a gallon of nog that I had purchased in January of this year and froze until my birthday this past September (a tradition I plan on continuing this January), and I’ve already made my first bloggable nog purchase and will be debuting it sometime in November or whenever I damn feel like it.
In summation:
1) you let me know about nog items you’d like me to try
2) I try them
3) I blog about it
4) you laugh at how frequently I go to the hospital for nog related issues
You think because you’re married you’re better than porn, ACW?! The porn can never wait!!
I will keep my eyes peeled for any new and exciting Nog or Nog-related items and accessories. I vaguely remember something about organic soy nog or some such shit last year. What else have you already tried?
You must have a death wish.

I was in Boston last Christmas and enjoyed a fabulous Eggnog Martini.
Oh it was good. So very good.
You might think this one’s no fun because you can’t make it yourself, but I wait all year for Starbucks’s Eggnog latte. Then I buy 1000 of them at once and fill my bathtub with them, then I soak in it until February. I love that stuff.
You’d think since you nearly crapped your pants at work, you would pursue a less explosive hobby. Will you at least promise to avoid the high fiber nog?
Kara, you’ve stole my idea! I too love the Starbucks eggnog latte. You have to deal with the fact that the eggnoggy goodness is warm, but once you move beyond that, there’s nothing but love…
ACW, I can’t wait for the new batch of Eggnog trials. Last year’s can-nog was priceless!
Do NOT make me pull out the Eggnog soap.
Cuz I can do that shit, yo.
ACW, I’ll keep my eyes peeled for some nog-related goodness to share.
I think it’s time for you to take your nogging to the next level, if not the ultimate level. Yes, I’m talking about U-tubed blog enemas.

I have a friend with a severe sinus infection, I’m sure I could get him to fill a cup of ‘Special Nog’ for you. It’ll taste just the same I promise!
Bekah- Well, at least open a new tab or window for the pron instead of just bypassing the blog.
SalGal- Thanks. Check the link in the post to see last year’s nogs.
Diamond Lil- Wow, this is great help. Thanks!
Monkey- Excellent, I will have to try this.
Karla- I intend on having an eggnog latte, and I’ll even try to convince the “baristas” to give me a straight shot of the eggnog flavoring.
Mr. K- I promise nothing. If I find high-fiber nog, I’m trying it.
Lacey- The cannog was the nog that started it all.
Serra- Hmm. That sounds very interesting. You might have to whip it out.
NPRJunky- Thanks, I’d appreciate it.
tfg- You build the apparatus, I’ll strap it on.
MB- Hmm. I don’t know if I should inflict the eggnog on the cats or not.
Ugly Toy- Yech. You can keep that one.
Highs Dairy Stores have Egg Nog Ice Cream. It’s amazing.
I’m sorry did you say something? I was too busying going to http://www.dictionary.com to check out “maladroit.”
Seriously though, I have a recipe for a nog flavored cheese cake. I’ll post it over at my Turdmania blog. I’ll give you a 411 once it’s been posted.
Egnnog fragrance oil…

Try using nog in place of the egg when making French toast. It’s pretty tasty!
Yep, Bryanne, they have nice stuff–I’m checking my suppliers now for the fragrance as well.
I’m delurking here to bring you the goodness of Nog Tarts.
Make Jello vanilla pudding. But instead of putting milk in, put the nog. Bung the pudding mix into pre-cooked tart shells. Sprinkle with nutmeg. Eat. I hope you like them!
This may sound kind of gross, but last year my roommate introduced me to eggnog mixed with root beer (equal parts). It’s like a festive melted ice-cream float.
You never seem to mention making it yourself. Do you only do the shop bpught bases? I have made it a few times for parties as in Australia they don’t tend to sell too much pre made stuff. Of course this means any recipes I have are very alcoholic.
This is what I made for my last Christmas party. It was in July. (Yeah, well it’s winter in July here and we thought it was a good idea to try Christmas in the cold weather.) I just couldn’t believe that eggnog should have all this stuff in it. It probably shouldn’t (it never has in any of the other recipes I’ve used previously), but believe it or not this tastes good.* Invite some friends around before you make this one, it makes 5 litres.
Ingredients
700ml Brandy
400ml Rum
400ml Tawny Port
200ml Sweet Sherry
18 Eggs
3 cups Castor Sugar
1.5L Milk (reduced fat milk can be used)
750ml Thickened Cream (reduced fat cream can be used)
Nutmeg
Method
Mix ingredients in a large container.
Serve chilled. Dust the surface with lots of nutmeg.
Eggnog is best prepared the night before, though it needs to be stirred prior to serving to recombine ingredients.
For a thicker drink, increase the amount of cream while decreasing the amount of milk proportionally. If you use a lot of cream, you may need to top up the glass with milk.
Do let me know if you’re brave enough to try this.
Cheers!
*Of course, I was drunk when I tried it and also thought that the raspberry alcopop I had next was lovely.
