Bon Appetite? What’s for dinner at your house?

Also, some have been  known to put a touch of brandy in their egg nog!  Oops, my secret's out!

They also make a pumpkin flavored egg nog as well, that would be without the brandy!

LOL  I can picture you adding a shot of brandy to spice up the taste.

Eek .. pumpkin and me are like this :negative:   So if I do try the Egg-Nog it will have to be a non fancy-schmancy drink ... gotta keep it as simple as can be ... unless there is a chocolate flavor Egg-Nog?  :yes:

Chocolate can always be added to anything!  I've only tried the brandy twice in my life.  They also make a vanilla spiced egg nog, not so good.  Nutmeg is also added during the holidays.

Ever have an egg cream?!  I love cream soda.  But I hear east coast egg cremes are to die for.

TR

Nope never heard of egg cream, but I’ve seen Cream Soda at the stores. :negative:  I tried that flavor soda many years ago when I was a Brownie.  Unfortunately after a few sips ... I had a strong reaction ... horrific stomachache  and I felt like dying  so I quickly found the nearest bathroom to barf  :negative:   Sooo .... kind  of wondering now if egg-nog is not the best drink for me to try after-all? :calvin

P.S.  I’m allergic to penicillin and that contains eggs.  Yet I can eat fried eggs, hard boiled eggs and eggs in cakes, brownies, etc.

Its Friday and I’m in a better mood today ... :yes:

Dinner tonight will be steaks, garlic mash potatoes, garden Italian salad and garlic toast.  My dog will be having the same minus the salad dressing ... he prefers plain lettuce and carrots.

Dessert - I’m baking a 2 layer German Chocolate Cake. :whistle:    I can’t find my recipes ... still unpacking ... so I’m trusting this Betty Crocker super moist cake box will be just as sumptuously delicious as my own home-made recipe is.  Will also be using her brand of coconut and pecan frosting.

Due to the “Bomb cyclone, winds up to 88 mph” that hit Boston and NY ... it swung over to southern Vermont and knocked our power out for 18 hrs ... sooo I had to toss 3 weeks ($70 worth) of perishable foods.
Yesterday I bought steaks.  We just finished eating steaks, garlic mash potatoes, garlic bread, very small glass of root beer, 2 tiny fun size boxes of Jr. Mints. :whistle:   Later around 4:00 pm I will make a serving of apple crisp.

Yum, you sure know how to dress up a steak!  Sorry I don't care for German chocolate.  Not sure what's for dinner tonight, probably just a BBQ chicken sandwich.  Sucking down some chocolate milk right now.  Ran into some cinnamon flavored egg nog, yum yum.

Had steak a couple of nights ago, killer.  Had waffles and sausage for dinner last night.  Though I view eating a chore, it's nice to eat what brings us pleasure.

Mmm ... your BBQ chicken sandwich sounds delicious!   The cold chocolate milk I would have doctored it up just a teeny bit by warming it up in the microwave for 2 minutes and then adding a few marshmallows and whip cream with sprinkling a few chocolate jimmies and cherries on top ... :yes:  Now doesn’t that sound better?  Hee hee

The waffles sound good too.  I forgot to buy some frozen ones yesterday to make ice cream sandwiches.

I’ve always enjoyed eating ... especially amongst family and friends - having great conversations and eating good food and desserts makes me happy.  Soon very soon we will all be at the Kings feast ... its going to be so much fun!   B-)

Sharing a meal with someone certainly is entertaining! And given we have to eat, there is no added expense.  I like hot apple cider with cinnamon.

I settled for a bowl of chili and crackers.  Breaking bread/eating seems to be relaxing also, as it is a low stress activity, and opens communication.
