I used to hate eggnog, but now I love it. I mean, it’s fucking nog… It was only a matter of time.
So, the Hood brand eggnog had 180 calories. Not so bad… except that was one serving, and the 10 oz container had 4 servings… :smack: It was also a grand total of 104% daily satured fat allotment.
Oh well. It was delicious.

Mmmm, eggnog! It’s always been too sweet and thick for me, so as a kid, I used to mix it with either half milk or half Sprite. Tasty goodness!
Martha Stewart has the best 'nog recipe to be found anywhere.
I don’t love egg nog (although I have an unfortunate weakness for hot buttered rum), but we just got an exciting and yummy new “spicy egg nog” flavored coffee in my office that looks to be my afternoon treat of choice for the next month.

I love eggnog. I don’t care that it’s unhealthy. Eggnog is an essential and inseparable part of the holiday season. You will pry the nog from my cold, dead, nog-covered hands.
Back. away. from. the. nog.
