December Is National Eggnog Month Publisher: Wisconsin Association of Nutrition & Foodservice Professionals Issue No: 4 December 2017 December is National Eggnog Month There is nothing better than sitting around a bonfire drinking eggnog and talking holiday memories with your family (especially if a little bourbon is involved). In the past I used to buy eggnog from the grocery store—it was quick, easy, and only cost me a few dollars. It was not until I tried making my own that I realized the store bought stuff has nothing on homemade eggnog!!! Like many drinks and desserts made during the holidays (including my Black Bottom Pumpkin Pie), eggs are a standard ingredient. To avoid getting sick from Salmonella when consuming these homemade goodies, the Egg Safety Center and FDA recommends using a cooked egg base. How do you make a cooked egg base? Well, first you need a recipe! An easy recipe for Classic Cooked Eggnog can be found on the American Egg Board’s website under Recipes and More. The recipe is printed on page 7 of this newsletter. When making your cooked egg base, pay attention to the FDA recommendations below: Combine eggs and half the milk as indicated in the recipe. Other ingredients, such as sugar may be added at this step. Cook the mixture gently to an internal temperature of 160° F, stirring constantly. The cooking will destroy Salmonella, if present. At this temperature, the mixture will firmly coat a metal spoon (but please don’t lick the spoon if the custard is not fully cooked!). After cooking, chill the mixture before adding the rest of the milk and other ingredients. Don’t have time to make a cooked egg base but still want homemade eggnog? You can use other options for safe eggnog, such as egg substitute products or pasteurized eggs instead of raw eggs. You might think that adding alcohol to the recipe kills the bacteria, but this is false! 1 By following a good recipe and these simple recommendations, you can be sure to have delicious AND safe eggnog for your entire family to enjoy!

Tammy Hustad Cumberland James Feil Beaver Dam Timothy Neuman Neenah 2 It's that time of year again. December has come and with it all the joys of Holidays. But what is the real meaning of the Holidays? Is it the gifts under the tree, the lights in the windows, the cards in the mail, dinners with family and friends, snow in the yard, stockings hanging in the living room, and shouts of "Happy Holidays" to those who pass us in the streets? Is this really the Holidays? For many people, the Holidays is a time of sorrow. They don't have the extra money to buy presents for their children, family, and friends. Many are saddened at Holiday time when they think of their loved ones who will not be able to come home for various reasons. Family dinners may be only a wish and not a reality for some. Yet, the Holiday can be a season of great joy. Rather than stressing yourself out over the holidays, take time to reflect on all the blessings you have been given over all the years. Help a person or family that may be struggling right now and make their holidays a little brighter. Think of the joy that will bring to them and yourself. Give to your favorite charity or fix a special dinner or tray of holiday treats for an aging neighbor that may be alone. Overall, what you put into the Holidays, you will get back ten-fold in the feeling that you made someone else’s Holidays just a little brighter! Happy Holidays Everybody!

BEAT eggs, sugar and salt in large heavy saucepan until blended. STIR IN 2 cups milk. 2. COOK over low heat, stirring constantly but gently, until mixture is just thick enough to just coat a metal spoon with a thin film and temperature reaches 160°F, about 15 minutes. Do not allow to boil. REMOVE from heat immediately. 3. STIR IN remaining 2 cups milk and vanilla. REFRIGERATE, covered, until thoroughly chilled, several hours or overnight. What You Need 6 large EGGS 1/4 cup sugar 1/4 tsp. salt 4 cups whole milk, divided 1 tsp. vanilla 12 cinnamon sticks for garnish Insider Info Just before serving, stir brandy, liqueur, rum or bourbon into eggnog, if desired. For a festive presentation, garnish with whipped cream, ground nutmeg, cinnamon sticks or candy canes. Secrets of success: Low heat, a heavy sauce pan, constant stirring and patience are the keys to making the eggnog. If you increase the cooking temperature to try to speed the process along, the mixture is likely to curdle. Stirring constantly, making sure to cover the entire bottom and corners of the pan, prevents scorching and ensures that the mixture heats. Watch carefully and test frequently toward the end of the cooking time, after about 10 to 12 minutes. The last few minutes are crucial. Undercooked eggnog will be thin and watery; overcooked custard will curdle. The difference is a matter of only a few degrees. For perfectly smooth eggnog: Pour through a sieve before chilling. For a richer eggnog: Substitute half-and-half or light cream for some of the milk. 7 To keep eggnog cold during a party, set punch bowl or pitcher in a bed of crushed ice, or freeze some of the eggnog in ice cube trays or ice ring using a bundt pan and add to bowl right before party. Use leftover eggnog in French toast or pancake batter.

  • Trails of the Cocktail 5 14 18.Pdf
    Trails of the Cocktail Few cities can boast more historic significance in their cocktail culture than the Crescent City: birthplace of the Sazerac, Ramos Gin Fizz, the Grasshopper, the Hurricane, and (backed by one of the best apocryphal origin stories ever concocted) even the cocktail itself. In 1769 Spanish Colonial Governor of Louisiana Alejandro O‟Reilly issued a proclamation allowing one limonadier (lemonade seller), twelve taverns and six billiard halls to dispense alcoholic beverages. Closing time was ordained to be 8 pm, but bribes to the necessary officials extended the hours over the years. Rum came into the port of New Orleans and was taxed by the Spanish colonial government. Pat O‟s, Home of “The Hurricane” The “Hurricane”, the most popular drink at Pat O‟Brien‟s in the French Quarter, was created during World War II when liquor such as whiskey was in short supply. In order to purchase just one case of these preferred liquors, liquor salesmen compelled bar owners to purchase as many as 50 cases of rum, which was plentiful. In an effort to utilize the excess of rum, Pat O‟Brien's famous recipe emerged. The name came along soon after when a glass (shaped like a hurricane lamp chimney) was used to serve the popular rum cocktail. Don the Beachcomber (1907 — 1989), founding father of Tiki culture (Tiki bars, restaurants and nightclubs), enjoyed great popularity in the United States — mostly from the late 1940s through the mid-1960s. He and his friendly rival “Trader Vic” Bergeron are still remembered for their cultural influence.

  • Cleo Coyle's Chilly, Creamy Eggnog Latte Cocktail
    Cleo Coyle's Chilly, Creamy Eggnog Latte Cocktail Text and photos (c) by Alice Alfonsi who writes The Coffeehouse Mysteries as Cleo Coyle with her husband, Marc Cerasini. May this beautiful, delicious drink, so easy to make, bring warmth and good cheer to your home this holiday season. Merry Christmas, everyone! ~ Cleo Ingredients: Chilled Eggnog (how much? see directions) Chilled Kahlua (or your favorite coffee liqueur) Cold Whipped Cream Ground Nutmeg and Cinnamon Stick Directions: (1) Start with a nice presentation glass. A stemless snifter, stemless wine glass, or clear tumbler will work nicely. Pour in a few fingers of Kahlua (or your favorite coffee liqueur), enough to give you a thick visual layer. (2) Tilt the glass and position the spout of the eggnog carton against the rim, as shown below. If using homemade eggnog, place it in a container with a spout, such as a glass measuring cup. Pour in the eggnog slowly. Use the side of the glass to slow the pour and prevent mixing with the Kahlua. CLEO TIP: Because eggnog is made with cream, it's lighter in density than the Kahlua, which is why it will float. Continue pouring until you have a nice, visible layer. How thick a layer of eggnog is up to your own taste. I like my eggnog layer to resemble the head on a dark beer--or the crema on a freshly pulled espresso. (3) Finish with whipped cream, ground nutmeg, and a cinnamon stick. HOW TO DRINK IT? TWO WAYS: When you tilt and sip this chilly, creamy Eggnog Latte Cocktail, magic happens.
