*** A WORD FROM THE KITCHEN ***

I'm already gettting caught up in the hustle & bustle of the
holidays. It's no fair they start adversiting so soon but I've
definitely got the spirit now. We're looking a little like the
"Griswolds" this year with tons of outside lights it sure
goes faster with our helpers who are now eight involved in the
process. Well Clark Griswold would sure be into the holiday spirit
with this version of HOMEMADE EGGNOG. It makes about a gallon and
you could always omit the alcohol if you prefer too. Check below
for how to make your own whipped cream for the topping too!

BTW: I always thought a jelly-of-the-month-club would make a
fine gift ;o)

Enjoy!
