The other thing I do,    Cook.

I love to cook.    Yesterday I did homemade applesauce (easy and the apples were going to start to go soonish, so….)   I also made what my wife calls the worst pumpkin pie she ever ever tasted and she will sacrifice herself and eat the pie to save me the horror .   Hmm,  don’t think so.

Today I’m doing Salt Roasted Shrimp and some store bought lobster cakes.   In general, I think Alton Brown is the best thing on the Food Network.

I also made a double batch of AB’s eggnog recipe.   Leave it sit in the fridge for a while (a week min) and you have some seriously good drink.   Making a double batch isn’t any harder than making one, and it will last a week this way.    I use pasteurized eggs for it since it calls for raw eggs.   I don’t know that its absolutely necessary, but…   I mean, who doesn’t eat cookie dough?   BTW,  if you don’t like the taste of the whiskey,  let it sit in the fridge for a while,   after a week, the taste of the booze basically disappears in the goodness.
