The kids and I love eggnog! Diane likes it but doesn't seem to get as excited about it as we do. We try really hard not to start drinking eggnog too much before Thanksgiving but man is it hard. This year we made it to today (the day before Thanksgiving); not too shabby. Last year Emily and I took a photo of us drinking our first eggnog of the season (below).

So we decided to continue with that tradition this year. We drink a variety of brands but the Publix generic is our preference. And we always make it extra special by using a microplane to grate a little fresh nutmeg on the top of each glass. That makes it smell so good and man is it delicious. It was also Drew's birthday yesterday so I had to throw in a little photo of that (the big 15!).

I also like to make my "patented" Nog Russians. Basically - a White Russian with eggnog substituting the cream or milk.
Nog Russian
1 part (shot glass full or little less) coffee liquor (Kahlua)
2 parts vodka
eggnog to your liking (couple tablespoons?)
freshly grated nutmeg
couple ice cubes
I'll have to add a photo for that later. Enjoy the season!
