BACKGROUND

Egg Nog is a readily available seasonal drink (with vanilla and nutmeg is it seasoned) but what if you need to obtain a quantity outside of the designated holiday timeframe? What if a certain event required you to procure this delicious and festive beverage?
What if, for example, Professor Franklin Bruno had at one time in the dark and murky winter of 1990 made his first appearance with the experimental avant garde rock act Wckr Spgt during a philosophy lecture on Aesthetics? What if the performance consisted of Wckr Spgt reciting the rock opera "The Charles Mansion" while Professor Bruno ate Cap'n Crunch™ cereal covered in egg nog from a trough-like bread pan? And what if 14 years later Wckr Spgt wanted to pay homage to that ground-breaking event at a concert on a non-holidate, say August 26th? Then what would happen?

Thankfully, there would be a solution. This simple recipe, a concoction pieced together from several long hours of experimentation and research, is just the thing to get you by in a pinch. Hell, it might even replace your store-bought version on the Holiday Buffet!

INGREDIENTS

1. 2 eggs*
   
2. 3 T sugar
   
3. 1 t vanilla
   
4. 1/8 t nutmeg
   
5. 2 1/3 cup milk
   

*I would like to strongly suggest that you use EggBeaters or a similar egg substitute for this recipe. Most egg substitutes are pasteurized and, since you won't be cooking this delicious mixture, a pasteurized product is so much safer. I found that EggBeaters tasted the best in this recipe.

DIRECTIONS

Mix everything together completely.
Taste it and, if you want, tweak the spices to your liking. Perhaps a little more nutmeg is your favorite, maybe a touch more vanilla. If you're going to be putting it over Cap'n Crunch (not a serving suggestion), keep the spices to a minimum. And remember to cleanse your palate between tastings. That's it. It really is quite good.

Now chill (yourself and the egg nog).

Happy Year-Round Holidays!!
