Merry Christmas, everybody. My present to you? This blog post- and hopefully many more. I’m gonna start writing on here more frequently- and I know I say that every time I write something- but seriously this time. So what that means is a lot more articles about my opinions, cool little stuff on Digg, and other geeky stuff you may or may not care about.

Anyways, my thought provoking question for today is:

What the hell is eggnog?

After digging through Wikipedia and some Google searches, the truth comes out: eggnog is raw beaten eggs, sugar, vanilla, milk, cream, and optionally an alcohol of your choice, mixed together and aged. Wait, raw eggs? Yeah, the alcohol supposedly kills any harmful stuff like salmonella. If you don’t drink the alcoholic version, just guzzle down and pray the eggs used to make it weren’t some of the 0.045% of eggs every year that have salmonella. (EDIT: the store-bought stuff is probably pasteurized, so chug away.)

So here’s to the wealthy medieval Englishmen, for being crazy enough to make a drink out of aged raw eggs and milk. Merry Christmas, everybody.

PS- I got one of these bad mamma-jammas for Christmas from St. Nick. Expect pictures to accompany future posts.

Another PS- The photos I use in the header at the top of this blog are pictures that I have taken, and always will be unless I note otherwise.
