[QUOTE=BlueKangaroo] If you have a cooler, **danceswithcats** , you should bring it. A small-ish one is fine, but if you have one, let me know what size you’re bringing. We’ll figure out ice in Maryland. [/QUOTE] I have coolers from 6-pack to suitcase size. Why do I fear an attack of Iced Kangaroo? :eek: ---

Bah. You already know you’ve nothing to fear from me! I’m way too small to be threatening. Six-pack sized is too small, I think. Suitcase sized will require a lot of ice, but I am sending something that should stay truly frozen all the way to your place. You just need something large enough to hold a couple of kidneys, a heart and some livers, I’d say. 😉 ( **Ginger** , can we hijack a little freezer space during party hours?) ---

**Jayjay** and I are hoping to attend. We will have to work out the logistics here first. Sis may not be here to look after the family members.

I’ve decided to research egg nog recipies. I suspect it’s something more than “1 part raw egg, 1 part 80 proof booze, mix & pour.” Any recommended sites for me to look at drink recipies? ---

[/QUOTE] Did you want to actually _make_ it, or were you just looking for a good way to doctor it up? I don’t have the actual recipe, but we have wonderful egg nog every year at our Christmas party for work. It’s ready-made egg nog with Cool Whip folded in, and lots of Kahlua. You’re supposed to drizzle chocolate syrup over the top of each serving. ---
