![]() A New Fathers Guide to Surving Christmas!
(Based on advice from one our committee members (who, for his own saftey, will stay annoymous!) ![]() 1 - As soon as the wife mentions Christmas shopping - fake illness.
2 - As soon as you hear that wrapping paper crinkling - pretend to fall asleep. 3 - Always allow your wife to buy her own gifts. Then she will not be disappointed about the rubbish you brought on. Christmas Eve in the pharmacy/garage. 4 - Ensure that you check that the food in the fridge and cupboard isn't Christmas food! Otherwise you'll be in trouble if you've eaten grandad's mince pies! 5 - As a father, your main role will be to provide and install a vast amount of batteries on noisy and annoying toys. So have your screwdriver ready and lots of AAA and AA batteries to hand. An extra tip would be to have lots of alcohol to drown out and forget about your feral kids causing mayhem. Happy Christmas |

Raw Eggs vs Cooked Eggs
Remember this recipie willc ontains Raw Eggs. Consuming raw or undercooked eggs can increase your risk for certain food-borne illnesses, especially if you have a medical condition. You may wish to opt for cooked eggnog. To do this you will need to warm the milk and cream in a saucepan over medium heat until just starting to bubble around the edges. Meanwhile whisk the egg yolks together in a separate bowl. Slowly whisk the warm milk into the eggs, then return the mixture to medium heat and continue to cook, stirring gently, until thickened to your eggnog-y liking. Serve immediately or chill for up to 3 days before serving. For extra thickness, whip 1 cup of whipping cream and fold into the eggnog before serving. Richer Eggnog: If you play with the proportions of whole milk to cream, keeping 3 cups total dairy you can make the Eggnog richer. Heavy cream will make your eggnog thicker and creamier. Boozy eggnog will also continue to thicken in the fridge as it ages. Eggnog Aging Aging your eggnog for even a short time does wonders for its taste and texture. The distinct flavors of egg, cream, and liquor meld together even after just a day or two in the fridge, making a smoother, more balanced cup of nog. The proteins in the eggs also start to thicken, giving eggnog its signature spoon-coating thickness. |
