For the aged I save one cup of the nog and mix with the alcohol for next year and keep in the back of the fridge (abv >20% and nothing can grow), I usually pasteurize the eggs for aged (can also buy pasteurized eggs).

Nutmeg is classic atop but some fresh ground pink peppercorns are also great.

for non-aged:
12 eggs, separate, cream yolks w 3/4c sugar, mix in 1qt whole milk and 1qt cream, add 5-5.5c alcohol (I usually use less dark rum for the fresh version) and 3/4c good maple syrup.

Then just before serving, whip the egg whites and add, then whip 0.5qt cream and fold in.

For aged eggnog (my preference):
12 eggs, separate, cream yolks w 1lb sugar, mix in 3c alcohol (I do 1c each bourbon, cheap cognac, dark rum), beat the egg whites and strain into the mix, fold in 1-1.5qt dairy (I do half each whole milk and cream), mix well and store in glass in the fridge 4-6wk

it’s the Giant Pumpkin Regatta! It’s exactly what you think it is!

this reminded me of an old illustration of a mesquite tree and also that I made this account to post old illustrations of trees and promptly completely forgot about it bsky.app/profile/tree...

I run a logging github.com/Atoptool/atop everywhere so I can step back through time and see what happened when, highly recommended

I'm not a fan of the Unreliable Escalator

I too dislike Dallas-Fort Worth

I have an old one of these I keep handy in a box in case my electric one decides to betray me

I couldn't bear to sand it down, it's too good

want him to make a ham radio-themed movie so bad. So many flat space camera moves focused on knobs and dials
