got some new goodies last night… any suggestions? (I did already buy TONS of juices, mixers, etc… to go with them… but always open to some new ideas!)
As you can see, I picked up some Ciroc Peach yesterday. I have had them all now. Beginning with regular “Blue Dot” Ciroc, Ciroc Red Berry, and Ciroc Coconut. All delicious! There aren’t any more out yet are there?? LOL
Nonetheless, time for a new idea. ”What Goes Good With This???” Leave a comment and tell me what you would do!
Here is a shot of some of my choices for this evening… and beyond…. can you guess what it all is? LOL
Make sure you stop by Dogfish Head Brewings & Eats!
I was in town this past weekend and found their place extremly unique, fun, and AWESOME! I love how you can go sample beers, some of which, will never be released nationally. Above you see a shot of a Sampler, which I was able to create myself choosing any 5 Dogfish Head beers which I wanted. SUPER COOL!
Love that place… can’t wait to go back!

Last Christmas I posted my recipe for Chai Eggnog, which many folks raved about. However, with all the rush and stress that accompanies this wonderful holiday season, some folks gruffled that it simply took too long and was too much work at such a crazy time of year.
So this year I present to you a “cheater version” of this recipe, which has been thoroughly enjoyed in the Tavalon breakroom for the past couple weeks (without the optional booze, I would hope). Since it doesn’t taste exactly the same as the original recipe, the staff has given it a new moniker, Cheggnog (which I secretly refer to as “Cheater Eggnog“… but it is still pretty good).
The major difference between this recipe and the previous is that we go back on the original premise that you have to make the eggnog from scratch, instead emphasizing that the quality of the store-bought brand is essential.
Instead of buying the bottom-of-the-barrel eggnog found in most corner supermarkets, I encourage you to try to find one in which you can pronounce most of the ingredients, and preferably is organic.
After that, you just heat and add tea! Enjoy:
Cheggnog
4 cups high-quality store-bought eggnog, preferably organic
1 heaping tablespoon Kama Chai Sutra
Spiced Rum or Bourbon (optional)
In a medium saucepan, heat the eggnog until just before boiling. Remove from heat, addtea leaves, stir and allow to steep for 30 minutes. Strain and chill for 3 hours.
Once it is thoroughly chilled, serve in a teacup with 1.5 oz of rum or bourbon (if using) and sprinkle with a bit of nutmeg.
