Well, lessee. Our beverage horizons are expanding. We've got coffee, apple cider-- we don't have much apple cider around these parts. I'm not sure I've ever tasted the real thing, from the way you describe it.

Is it time to break out the eggnog? I really like the taste of that stuff. However, I don't get homemade eggnog very often. I guess folks got put off their eggnog joneses by all the raw egg scares, not to mention cholesterol. More likely these daze it's bound to be that gunk that comes in a carton and is artificially flavored. But the real thing with cream, freshly grated nutmeg, rum, and about a million calories, oh my stars.

Elmer, off to make an abstemious, low-cal, low-carb breakfast
