Egg nog

[Christ_empowered]

I’m a big fan. Seriously. At one point autumn meant pumpkin nog st least in some stores. Not so much this year…?
But ok egg nog. Classic! Right now I’m keeping it old school with Pet brand. Truth? Not to sound snobby or anything but the southern comfort brand has a similar texture and better spices added in the mix.


Target brand has some good egg nog too. I got the reduced fat version at my last curbside pickup and…
Not what I wanted but surprisingly good .


Rambling…
Fo y’all drink egg nog this time of year? Any favorite brands or subtypes? I tried adding spices to one version and it just…didn’t happen. Predictably the spices wouldn’t dissolve.

I've never had it.

I think you should consider trying it. Very traditional. Ok so the real tradition is to add booze…lots and lots of booze…
But I like it without alcohol. It’s like a liquid dessert .

Yeah. Every year I think about picking some up, but then I forget. Lol.

 

[Christ_empowered]

It’s not that big a deal but I’m obviously a fan lol

Pet and southern comfort are my favorites. My cool friends tell me that there are good plant based alternative products now…

In south Florida we used to have little drive through convenience stores called Farm Stores. They had the creamiest eggnog that I've ever had. It was like it was whipped a little bit. Very sweet.

God bless,

Hi jasonc

Yeah, that brings back memories. I know there used to be one in Cutler Ridge in south Miami-Dade Co. Anyway, their eggnog, as I remember, was pretty delicious.

God bless,
Ted

Make it yourself. Without the liquor for me.

Love eggnog, but I haven't even bought any this year. I don't know why, but I do need to get some. I think my brands are Canadian, so you likely wouldn't recognize them (Lucerne and Dairyland), but they're just the typical stuff from the grocery store. I think there are mainly two brands that are sold at most stores. We have a dairy mafia up here basically.

Quail roost drive by the exit at 95

Quail roost drive by the exit at 95

Yeah, but there was also one at the Turnpike, not 95 that far south, and Caribbean Blvd. It was almost under the roadway bridge.

God bless,
Ted

 

[miamited]

I 95 ends in at the southern end of Brickell Ave as you're entering Coral Gables when you dump down to ground level after riding above for quite a bit through downtown Miami. The highway running through Quail Roost and Caribbean is the Florida Turnpike Extension.

Been ages .there was a motel by the one on carribean .the old farm store was vacant for decades and razed.i bet I can find it on Google imagery irc the one on carribean was on the opposite side of the exit then the other .both were close to the exit and nearly under it .

Right now I’m keeping it old school with Pet brand.

Don't see any Pet products in my part of the woods .

southern comfort brand

Exactly what I have in my fridge right now . I did see some Bolthouse Nog Smmothie at local Aldi but did not purchase $5.68 plus tax , did consider though .

hi jasonc

Yes, and that motel was immortalized in the hurricane Andrew pictures. One of the first pictures the day after Andrew hit was one of that motel with most of the side blown out from the winds. I think this is the picture:

but I could be mistaken. There isn't a lot of identifiable landmarks in the picture.
