The holidays are a time when many of us have a few extra drinks — or spend time with people having a few extra drinks. This week we’re talking with LP O’Brien, an award-winning mixologist in Washington, DC. A couple years back, she decided to quit drinking, a decision that she says made her better at her job.
Yes.
Threesome.
For McDonald's.
You.
Every Christmas season, I make a batch of homemade eggnog using the recipe from Joy of Cooking.
And I mean, to me, it's hilarious.
You make eggnog from scratch.
It's basically like a cake.
It's eggs.
Right.
It takes a dozen eggs, a pound of sugar, and a whole bunch of cream.
But then instead of flour, you use liquor.
Yeah.
You're preserving a cake batter.
It's basically preserved cake batter that you can drink.
Well, eggnog is boozy.
Oh, it's very strong.
This stuff will knock you on your butt.
I can have one eggnog and I probably won't even finish it because it is a little bit too much of everything for me.
This is the Sporkful.
