I saw a recipe awhile back for an Eggnog Spice Cake with coconut-maple frosting. Holler if you want me to dig it up for you. I made it a couple times, it was fantastic. I think it only used half a cup of eggnog or something like that. ---

I think I have made French toast with about every bread type item available. Stale cake, crumpets and Scones (the last 2 were a savoury version). Must try pita. ---

Make something akin to a rum cake. ---

Interestingly enough, not only will (spiked) eggnog probably keep, it might be SAFER in a few weeks. [Here’s the relevant segment from NPR’s Science Friday](http://www.sciencefriday.com/segment/11/30/2012/perhaps-another-reason-to-spike-that-eggnog.html) ---

Well, the eggnog custard jelled quite nicely without any additional cornstarch. It did come out grainy, though - I think once egg whites are beaten, they just don’t properly turn into custard. Or maybe I heated it too quickly. Also, oddly the stuff tasted much boozier than the original eggnog did. ---
