The egg nog french toast sounds really tasty. The "egg dog" is too cute. My kids have their little phrases, too, that they just won't grow out of even though their tongues can now form the sounds.

We love eggnog in this household! In coffee, pancakes, french toast, you name it! We even love it poured over our hot oatmeal! But with that said I always cringe a little to use it in any other form than drinking it straight! My daughter called it 'egg dog' when she was two and the name stuck around here! So our tradition is to buy 'egg dog' as soon as we see it come out in the store each year. This year we found a new flavor - pumpkin spice! Pumpkin just so happens to be another great love of mine - these flavors married nicely! ( : Warmly, Mandi Mandi Yummy! We love eggnog in this household!

So, what is a traditional Hanukkah drink? Dana, boy, that Aussie! And I've been watching too many of the very old George and Gracie shows, in which Carnation Milk is the sponser, and mentioned *constantly* - if you ever saw these shows, you'll recall "the milk from contented cows" - :-) JHS, way to go on losing the 75 pounds! I would have to agree in your case, stay away! And I can't imagine that a fat-free egg nog would even be worth it. Heidi, ooh, “harbinger” is such a great word!

It has too much fat!! Nobody needs it, including the husband who is supposed to be watching his sugar and cholesterol levels. As for me, I have no desire to find the 75 pounds I have lost. I may sneak a small glass on Xmas Eve, but that will be it! Thanks for participating in the December 3, 2007, edition of the Carnival of Family Life, hosted this week at http://www.imaginif.com.au!!

They were interesting, but the flavor wasn't quite strong enough to really realize there was much difference. And my husband used to drink a recipe of orange juice, milk and a raw egg for breakfast in the morning. But he is Australian. So we forgive him some oddities.

Even now that our family celebrates Hanukkah rather than a traditional Christmas it just doesn't feel like the holidays until I sit down with a glass of eggnog and sigh. :) And yes, Eberhard's is hands down the best.

YES. A holiday indulgence. I haven't started getting them yet, but I *have* ordered a couple of gingerbread lattes. My mother used to make homemade eggnog for our breakfast every morning... a drinkable meal on the run. We loved them... but they weren't thick and rich like the store bought kind. We used to refer to our head as our "noggin." I wonder what the relationship is to British tavern mugs! Eggnot lattes… YES. A holiday indulgence.
