"I know what an egg is, but what is 'nog'?"

Store-bought eggnog is nasty. What's your home recipe?

Separate a dozen eggs. Beat the yolks with between one and 2 c.upsof sugar. Beat the whites to stiff peaks. Beat a whole lot of heavy cream (maybe quart?) until whipped. Combine all of this with whatever spices your religion demands and enough brandy or whiskey or rum until you can't feel your teeth anymore. Serve with spoons, as it is too thick to drink.

The next morning, use the leftovers to make the most wonderful French toast you ever tasted.

Alton Brown has a recipe that sounds pretty similar to this that I've been thinking of trying to make, if I have occasion to bring it somewhere. (Having something made from heavy cream and whole milk just sitting in my refrigerator is a recipe for personal disaster, even without the bourbon. :-) )
