Egg Nog Recipe

One of my hobbies is I enjoy cooking and finding new and exciting recipes. I learned how to cook from my mother in New Orleans. She taught me to make wonderful main dishes, desserts, salads, and beverages. During the holiday season, she always had enough food to feed the neighborhood. We had a big family but she always had too much food. I am forever grateful for all I learned from her.

As we approach the holiday season, this is a favorite drink that we prepare every year for our Christmas party. This is a recipe which you want to think ahead and prepare in anticipation of your parties.

This beverage is best served cold. I rarely see any guest drinking this beverage hot, but I am sure if you zap it in the microwave it will taste just as good. this is a potent beverage which if you are not careful, you will definitely need a designated driver. I am not a drinker myself, but friends tell me this can sneak up on you because it tastes so good and goes down smooth. You won't know you had too much until later. Enjoy in moderation like I do!

Glossy looks With their sleek good looks, gloss kitchens continue to be popular in modern homes. Available in a wide range of colours, these units are highly reflective and will bounce light around, which makes them ideal for smaller kitchens or those that don't get much natural light, as long as you go for a pale colour. Eye-catching finishes, such as the glossy black units pictured, also help to create a distinctly designer look. Trendy tones Bring your kitchen back up to date with kitchen units in a trendy shade.

The Prosumer Kitchen

Television these days is full of cooking shows. On channels like the Food Network, it is all cooking, all the time. This trend has bred a new kind of celebrity - the celebrity chef - and the popularity of cooking shows is at a fever pitch because of it. These celebrity chefs have helped create a renewed interest and focus on cooking and the kitchen, and people everywhere are scrambling to buy their branded cookware and remodel their kitchens to more closely resemble the professional kitchens of those celebrity chefs on TV. And why not? Those kitchens on TV are GREAT! But in actual practice, it is not always practical to have a huge professional range or a walk-in freezer in your 2 bedroom ranch house or 3rd floor walk-up. The good news is that you can find a happy medium that lets you get in on the action without creating a full scale restaurant grade kitchen in your own home. Enter the "prosumer" kitchen. The name "prosumer" is a combination of ...
