Made Food Network Alton Brown's eggnog and I added bourbon to it for the grown ups.

I use farm fresh just laid organic eggs picked from under live chickens.

Got so many requests for the recipe at my Christmas party so I just made printouts with the printer and handed them out.

I will make another eggnog for my New Year's Eve party too. (Different guests for New Years Holiday).

The eggnog was so smooth, no lumps at all, and so delicious when chilled overnight........I will make a pitcher minus the bourbon for the visiting children on New Years Day too.

 I have listed the recipe below for those who may desire to try it. Enjoy!

We had some for Thanksgiving but it was not on the menu for Christmas.  Must admit I was miffed.

I love to make banana pudding from scratch.

One time I was cooking the custard and forgot the flour.

I made eggnog!

The recipe looks great and probably much better than the commercially prepared eggnog.
