Separate eggs. Whisk sugar and yolks until smooth. Pour in liquor slowly, whisking constantly. This will cook the yolks, so if they aren't whisked smooth with the sugar you will have bits of yellow floating in the nog. Add dairy, still whisking. Beat egg whites to soft peaks, then fold into the nog. Let sit for 24 hours. Serve with fresh nutmeg on top.

LO CAL? GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM MY EGGNOG!
- Alex Scrivener
If you want lo cal, get a smaller glass!
- Alex Scrivener

With all that alcohol, it's like a dairy version of a Long Island Iced Tea

It is a recipe of halves. Of the gallon of liquid, It is half dairy and half liquor. Of the half which is liquor, half is whiskey. Of the half which is not whiskey, half is brandy. Of the half which is not brandy, half is light rum and half is dark. Of the half is dairy, half is milk and half is cream. Then you throw in the dozen eggs and the pound of sugar.

So it's like a golden ratio for egg nog! (Sort of...)
- Mark J
Oh yeah, this is some great stuff! Every year I forget, and every year I am reminded again.

if you like coconut, there's a puerto rican style egg nog-type of deal known as coquito. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... that's not the recipe i've used, but those are the basic ingredients: coconut milk, condensed milk, rum and egg yolks.

I like coconut, but I am an eggnog purist.

Thanks for sharing, Alex. I'm going to hold some "taste test/QA trials" of your recipe around Christmas. If it's successful, you'll probably see about 15 drunken Jenny posts one evening.
- Jenny R
I'll be right over...unfortunately, this means I'll be there in 3 days.

Mmm, I'm at my mother-in-law's house and she makes something very similar. She makes the yolk/sugar/booze/dairy mixture the day before and folds the egg whites in right before serving though, I think. I know there was a bunch of Jameson's in it. Yum, can't wait - we get to drink it later today.
- Laura Norvig
Just did my first batch of this and it is nestled all snug for drinking tomorrow :)

In case you guys didn't seen this elsewhere already... :) I meant to share it here first, but FB is pretty darned convenient for this particular status change.
If Link 404s, it's because Jandy shared to a limited circle. Sorry. But I shared public. I win.
- Louis Gray
LOL. I don't mind it being shared public here. I get way more weirdo comments on G+ than here, so I tend to limit personal stuff there.
- Jandy
Pffft. But this is weirdo central! :)
- Louis Gray
Friendfeed does it better. That is not a 404, it's a 403 error. They should probably redirect to the profile with a message explaining that the entry was private or some other reason. Get the team on this.

Hi Jimminy! I agree. Because I love you secretly and openly, I will file a bug. :)

So just now Calvin casually mentions this "interesting" movie he caught on a local channel... and I recognized it as Mr. Sardonicus thanks to you...
- Mark Horne
Ha! That's funny, Mark. It is an interesting movie. :)

As of the last day or so, there has been no communication between Friendfeed and Twitter in either direction, at least for me.

I wish there was some indication as to what the problem is with twitter imports. When it has gotten "fixed" in the past, it just started working again. Was a cron job not running? Is something crashing? Did someone need to contact twitter and have something whitelisted? Does the fact that trying to force an update returns immediately with out results indicate something?
- Andy Bakun
I can't get Friendfeed to even find my Twitter account, I just get "We could not find the given account"
- John: Clockwork Librarian
It's kind of odd that both importing tweets and importing favorites (which use RSS) both don't work. So it appears to be something twitter specific, not just type of feed specific.
- Andy Bakun
I was able to get favorites to import by using the twitter api endpoint. http://api.twitter.com/1... But no telling if this will continue to work. I can't get my timeline to import at all using http://api.twitter.com/1... It was complaining that it couldn't download it, then that it couldn't find a link tag. then it did nothing.
