Because I'm nothing if not resourceful. And so are we.

This Christmas I discovered a tragic, deep, and abiding love for the fat- and calorie-laden stuff that is eggnog, and specifically South Mountain Creamery eggnog.

Alas and thank the good Lord, they stopped making it immediately after Christmas. And then! Lo! (and behold!) they sent out a message that they'd be making it for Easter. For Easter only! And then it goes away again!

I was delighted, but also kind of puzzled. Because what does eggnog have to do with Jesus? And then I was like, what does eggnog have to do with anything?

So. So given this small window, I bought as much as I thought we could handle. By we I mostly mean me, because nobody else I live with seems as fixated.

Two gallons of eggnog turns out to be a lot. More than we could handle at once. And we needed to freeze some. And we had these handy freezey containers. That we're no longer using.

And no, I don't know why I'm using the Royal We. I mean I. Me. Or maybe I do mean we. My boobs and I. We. Us.

I hope I've explained myself enough so that you realize that  by resourceful I don't mean that I've we've figured out a way to produce eggnog. Although that would be kind of cool...

  1. The only logical explanation is Jesus drank eggnog. So people drink eggnog around His birthday. And Easter.

    Turns out there isn't a logical explanation.

    This reminds me of the post about breast milk cheese. So, oddly, eggnog has a sister subject. At least in my tired little brain

    1. Yah, logic doesn't really apply to any of this. But you are right, eggnog has a sister subject. Would they be on the same spreadsheet? :) I love your brain.

  2. At least the bags are pretty!

    1. Those bags are terrific, they really are. I didn't know about them with Jordan because I didn't ever have any extra to freeze.

  3. Thinking about it, eggnog makes a lot more sense for Easter. What with the eggs and all.

    I wonder if you can turn your brilliant stroke of resourcefulness into an eggnog creamcicle otterpop sort of thing?

    1. I didn't even think of it. Of course! All those bunnies making eggs for eggnog!

      Truly, I like eggnog best in coffee or with rum or bourbon. It turns out that half-frozen eggnog in a glass with bourbon is very nice. Not that I am on the verge of perfecting it or anything...

  4. Hilarious, Lisa!

    I think your resourcefulness should win you some kind of sustainability award at the very least.

    1. Why, thank you! I will see if I can put myself up for an award somewhere. I'd like one!
