Leftover Egg Nog. A lot of it.

My son Julian had the great idea of trying eggnog for Christmas.  We each had a small glass, grinned through the thick liquid and quickly placed the container back in the refrigerator.  Fast forward to the first week in January.  I absolutely hate wasting food and the expiration date was looming at an alarming rate.  Alarming that it lasts so long!  After a quick google search I came up with a promising recipe on the blog "At the Baker's Bench".  For me, it encompassed all of the components I look for in a recipe: easy, fast, easy.  

The first batch looked and smelled wonderful and was destined to be the perfect breakfast treat for my kids.  Little did I know, as we slept snug in our beds our dog Rosie ate them.  All 12 of them.  Don't worry, there was enough eggnog for three more batches.

Lesson learned: next time you want to try something new, buy the pint versus half-gallon.
