Many of us each year look forward to the holiday season for more than one reason... and its not for the gifts.... It's for the egg nog!!! Now nog is kinda like marmite... either you love it or you hate it... and ladies and gentlemen I can tell you one thing... I love it!!

Nowadays it seems like things have changed... now there's genres from non-alcoholic to versions with southern comfort.... where the hell have i been for the last 6 years... under a rock I guess....

Image018

so who's up for some nog... I've found this great traditional egg nog recipe to try over the holidays!!

Image019

Traditional eggnog recipe at its best!

Traditional Eggnog Ingredients

12 eggs, separated
6 cups milk
2 cups heavy/ thickened cream
2 cups bourbon
1+ 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup brandy
2 teaspoons ground nutmeg

Traditional Eggnog Directions

In a large bowl and using a mixer, beat the egg yolks together with the sugar for approx 10 minutes (you want the mixture to be firm and the colour of butter).
Very slowly, add in the bourbon and brandy - just a little at a time.
When bourbon and brandy have been added, allow the mixture to cool in the fridge (for up to 6 hours, depending on how long before your party you're making the eggnog).
30 minutes before your guests arrive, stir the milk into the chilled yolk mixture.
Stir in 1+ 1/2 teaspoons ground nutmeg.
In a separate bowl, beat the cream with a mixer on high speed until the cream forms stiff peaks.
In yet another bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the egg white mixture into the egg yolk mixture.
Gently fold the cream into the egg mixture.
After ladling into cups, garnish with the remainder of the ground nutmeg.

Serves: 8.

Enjoy!!!

- Go skating in the center of Barcelona this Christmas season -

Looking for something to do while you're in Barcelona? Head to Plaza Cataluyna starting Dec 2-Jan 8 to enjoy the biggest outdoor skating rink in Europe, even bigger than the one in Rockefeller Center. Over 350 people can enjoy skating with friends, family or loved ones to bring out the Christmas spirit.

If you're thinking that with the country in crisis at the moment, why does the gov. spend so much on this 'novelty'? They don't, supposedly the business' on Paseo de Gracia and close to Plaza Catalunya all chipped in to pay for the rink. The rental of skates and gloves also help cover the running of the refrigeration unit used to keep the ice frozen.

Even if you're a pro or just a beginner, just going might bring out the child in all of us.
