All that talk about egg nog

[Tuckervill]

OMG, look at the size of that cow's udder! Is she full or what??

I have heard of a source for raw milk around here, but if there any organic dairies that you can just walk in and buy something, I don't know about it. You're lucky!

Karen - They are a family-own/operated business. We've had great service from them and of course, it goes without saying that the milk is great. In the fall, they had "mocha" flavored whole milk, which my coffee-loving husband enjoyed. We go through a half gallon of chocolate whole milk and one of skim milk a week.

Because during the early-mid 70s my mother "cut" our milk with powdered milk (which she always didn't mix in well--clumps, gross) to save money, I really appreciate good milk. Not even Nestles quick, which was a "treat" for special times, could made the stuff palatable. Uggh, thinking about it still makes me have that involuntary gag reaction.

Gawd, I remember that awful stuff. My mom did the same thing, and it was such a treat to go to my cousin's or my grandma's house and drink the real thing. (Back when I drank milk.)

Huh. We only had reconstituted powdered milk. No "cutting" anything. I wonder if I'd be so allergic to milk if I hadn't been exposed to whatever powdering does to the proteins...


(And it was uphill. Both ways. In the snow. )

She does look ready, doesn't she?

Zen, this thread made me (yes, MADE me!) buy eggnog.

Dinner a couple of nights ago: freshly-baked pumpkin bread and eggnog. Yee-haw!

[Zen]

Oh, Owlice. There are few places that have nog like this. It's almost a custard. Where did you buy yours?

[Blueberry]

In NC, Mapleview farms has fabulous eggnog. Just sayin'.

[owlice]

Zen, are you sitting down? No? Please do.. thank you. I bought mine at Giant! Not the same, I know, but I could get there in the snow!

Custard is a good description.

If you want some, get it soon because they won't be making it much longer. Miss it and you'll have to wait an entire year to try it.
