Holiday season is here, the Christmas party is done, the tree is decorated and the condo looks suitably festive! With that said, one holiday treat asserted itself as the predominant winner of the evening and today I will share that recipe with you:
Mamma KC's Holiday Eggnog
AKA - "If Bailey's made eggnog THIS is what it would taste like"
4 egg yolks
1 full sized tin of evaporated milk
1 tin of sweetened condensed milk
1 tin cream of coconut (the stuff you use to make pina coladas)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 cup of heavy cream
1/2 cup of half n' half or milk
OPTIONAL - 1/2 cup of water (incase you need to dilute it)
In a double boiler over medium heat whisk egg yolks and evaporated milk under the mixture thickens. It should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Remove from heat, pour into a blender with the cream of coconut, spices, vanilla and sweetened condensed milk. Blend for 30 seconds, then pour into a container (I just used a jug).
Now stir in your cream, half n' half (or milk) and the optional water.
Put in the fridge and let it chill over night for the best results OR serve straight away with ice cubes in a bowl with a bottle of spiced rum on the side so people can spike it at will. Now if you put in ice cubes, you may NOT want to add in the water.
Enjoy, Bitches, because this is one hell of a nog.
So serious.
You want to know how to make peppermint schnapps as well? Well, keep on reading, my friend, keep on reading!
1/3 cup sugar
2 cups (500ml) of white corn syrup
2 cups vodka
2 tsp peppermint extract
In a saucepan, heat the sugar and corn syrup until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature. Add in the vodka and extract pour into a jar you can seal and enjoy.
I made polar bear shots with mine, which you can do as well. You can make your own creme to cacao using the above method in but, instead use cocoa extract instead of peppermint.
Enjoy.

If waking up to the shrill voices of The View castmates wasn't terrible enough, you can now sip your morning brew with the four wackos of morning tv silently judging you from a calming blue background.
For $15 US, you can own this hideous piece of porcelain to remind you of the women you never want to become.
Rosie: The homosexual Rev. Jesse Jackson
Barbwah: The only woman who can break you with a lisp.
Joy: The opiniated, misinformed Jew
Elizabitchl: The Crazy Right Wing one.
If you're not sure if Rosie is accusing you of being a homophobe, or if Elizabitch is going to start crying because you think the war in Iraq is futile RELAX and sip sip sip your way to sterility! The floating disembodied heads will surely qwell your desire to ever have sex again. And that is completely unrelated the potential lead poisoning you may incur from using the mug.
It's true the following was posted on the mug website:
California residents please be advised, as per the Prop. 65 Warning: Use of leaded tableware, for sale on this Website, will expose you to lead, a metal known to the State of California to cause birth defects and other reproductive harm. FDA compliance: California law requires all ceramic tableware products to comply with U.S. Food & Drug Administration standards for lead release.
Why? Because, the women on The View, they hate you and your life too.
Don't worry about that feeling you get when you look at the mug. Now you can retch and have a place to catch it too!
