It’s a little early in the morning for a good “meth cooking” joke, but I assure you I’m trying. ---

This is what happens when Hallmark starts those “Christmas in August” marathons: _“Hey Joe, will these boilers even work in 90 degree heat?” “I dunno; we usually don’t even fire them up til after Halloween. Lets try it… whats the worst thing that could happen?” :smack:_ I’m just glad the Passaic River didn’t ignite like a fuse and end up blasting the entire city of Paterson on top of the Bronx… (Of Course it could happen! It was right next to “Little Falls”…) ---

The best pancakes I ever ate were made with eggnog. And bisquick and maybe some other stuff. ---

Did you use egg nog in place of regular milk? I make egg nog with eggs, milk, sugar, and nutmeg. (FWIW, I am a teetotaler.) ---

Have you had the egg nog flavored taffy from [Sweet Candy Co.](http://www.sweetcandy.com/)? It takes two or three to get the flavor in your head, then stand back, 3 lb. bag gone in 2 hours. Look for the boxed version on WalMart shelves come Xmastime, you won’t be disappointed.
