    I wish eggnog were sold year-round.

    This year since we have a smaller group I'm keeping it simple: standing rib roast and Yorkshire pudding with steamed fresh veggies. Desert will be fresh fruit topped with a yogurt-based sauce.

    Can we get "take out"? And I agree, it's so annoying that just when you get hooked on eggnog, it disappears again for another year. I guess you just have to learn to make your own.

    "Cooked" eggnog is pretty easy to make if you are patient. Basically you take a creme anglaise recipe and add your cinnamon and nutmeg spices at the end. If you get it too hot you end up with a mess though.

    Since I have a five-rib roast for four people there will likely be leftovers for weekend sammiches.

    Reading this thread at 3am when I'm starving was a mistake lol...

    I love ginger molasses cookies, home made peppermint hot chocolate, and turkey with cranberry sauce, although I often enjoy the turkey more when we put the leftovers into a soup than when it's fresh out of the oven because I find it's a bit too dry after baking (probably not baking it right but oh well!)

    Turkey is dry no matter how you cook it, usually. It's just a dry meat. Why couldn't turkey soup have been the thing way back when?

    Brining the turkey before baking can help make it more moist, but all that salt isn't good for ya; many turkeys sold in grocery stores have been injected for similar, moister outcomes, but I still prefer the naturally-raised version from my local 'health food' store. I figure that's what gravy is for...

    Re: What is Your Favorite Christmas or Holiday Food?

    Turkey is by far my favorite food for Christmas and egg nog of course. Since Christmas is a little different this year, just me and my boyfriend, I am just making a 6 pound turkey breast in my Instant Pot that my boyfriend got me for Christmas a little early. There will be stuffing, mashed potatoes, corn, turkey gravy and all the fixings also.
