December 3, 2012

what an amazing day temperature wise....
woke up this morning to 50 degree temps....the only
bummer is that it has been foggy, rainy and cloudy...still
no sun....however...it did reach the 60's today...
you never know what to expect in Michigan!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

crazy busy at Tri-State today and we are so Thankful!!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

made some Eggnog for Ross after he got home from work....
used a recipe on the Martha Stewart website...

Eggnog :
4 cups milk
1 1/3 cups sugar
12 large egg yolks
1 cup heavy cream

mix the sugar and milk in a saucepan over medium heat until sugar is dissolved...it took a couple of minutes...in a separate bowl....whisk the egg yolks (we used the handy water bottle trick to get the egg yolks separated....the eggs have to be at room temperature in order to have this work well)


put the water bottle over the yoke.....squeeze and release and it will suck only the egg yolk into the bottle...
Thanks Mom for the tip......


whisk the egg yolks in a separate bowl and add the milk/sugar mixture...


whisk this all together and return it to the pan over medium heat.....do this for 20 - 25 minutes....
do not let it simmer...keep stirring it until it coats the back of a spoon....


quickly strain into a bowl....


add heavy cream and whisk again....let it cool completely, then refrigerate. Tasted Amazing!!!

had salads for dinner....our lettuce and tomatoes from the garden.....Gotta Love It!!!!

Pleasant Dreams!!!
