EggNog
You GOTTA have eggnog to toast into the new year. Not cheap not really knowing what is in eggnog -- I make real eggnog, separate the eggs: yolks and sugar and booze and milk and nutmeg in one bowl, the egg white whipped in a second bowl, and the cream whipped in a third bowl. Just before drinking you gently fold egg whites into the first bowl, then gently fold the cream into the first bowl, ladle into cups and garish with a dusting of more nutmeg. Trust me -- you will not be able to gag down chemical commercial "eggnog" ever again.
Which brings me to the picture:
"2 Day Sale! Friday & Saturday ONLY!" -- so I hit Vons on Friday, about 2pm, before the workers get to shop, so I can get the eggs I need. 18 large eggs for $1.99. Nope -- big empty cardboard boxes. But they wanted to sell me for 12 for the same cost as the 18 that I came in for.
Hey, I need the eggs. But I am not happy about getting 2/3rds for the same price. I don't think is was a mistake.
