I am out of silk nog. This is an immeasurable travesty.

Told a girl I'd rather hang out with Silk Nog than her

She told me Silk Nog can't take it's clothes off I told her true, but Silk Nog can take my clothes off anytime it wants.

HOLIDAY BEVERAGES: WHAT TO CONSUME AND WHAT TO AVOID

It's the holiday season and that means an array of different festive beverages for you to choose from.  For those who don't know me my name is Chris Heady and I'm a huge fan of egg nog this time of the year.  So without further adieu... here is my reviews on some products you may or may want to pick up. 

EGG NOG and EGG NOG HYBRIDS

HARRIS TEETER EGG NOG

**** out of *****

Hello Dark Horse.  Available in a paper carton this stuff goes down so smooth.  For being a store bought brand I was really taken aback at how delicious it was.  I'm just waiting for a chance to go and pick up another carton. 

HOOD SUGAR COOKIE EGG NOG

***** out of *****

This is really something special.  I've never tasted anything like this before... or since.  It's exactly as promised... SUGAR COOKIE EGG NOG and it goes down like a dessert.  Don't need much and it's simply scrumptious.

HOOD PUMPKIN EGG NOG

*** out of *****

Good not great. 

HOOD CARAMEL EGG NOG

**** out of *****

Exactly as promised.  I thought it had a nice buttery caramel texture to it.  Not something that I crave often but I nice holiday treat. 

EGG NOG ALTERNATIVES

SO DELICIOUS NOG

* out of *****

I couldn't finish it and being one who loves Egg Nog AND So Delicious products I thought that this would be a match made in heaven. 

SILK SEASONAL NOG

***** out of *****

for a product that is dairy free this sure tastes like the real thing and with a no flem after taste it's an excellent alternative.  I have been known to guzzle down two or three of these in a week. 

SILK PUMPKIN SPICE

*** out of *****

It's soft and subtle on your palette in its delivery of pumpkin and spice.  Not overburdening your senses. 

SEASONAL BEVERAGES

TARGET MINT CHOCOLATE HOLIDAY MILK

** out of *****

For the number of calories you're consuming the product should be of a higher standard.  I enjoyed it okay but I was ready for a slam of "Mint Chocolate Ice Cream mint" but instead it was more of a... "weak after dinner mint" passing aftertaste. 

TARGET SNICKERDOODLE HOLIDAY MILK

*** out of *****

Good but you can replicate the taste EXACTLY with a box of Cinnabon cereal, milk, and for a fraction of the calories.  Doesn't taste like a snickerdoodle but it sure is tasty. 

Wish they had brought back Red Velvet Chocolate Holiday Milk.  That stuff was a treat!  Questions, comments, suggestions?

If someone asked me to marry them by telling me they'd buy me a year supply of soy milk eggnog then I would consider it

christmas morning nog french toast

merry xmas! this morning ill be whipping up a batch of this super-simple-low-stress festive-as-hell french toast for myself and my vegan holiday guest. My mom had some leftover fresh cranberries after making cranberry sauce for tonights dinner so i whipped up some cranberry maple syrup, which is delicious, impressive and really easy to make. heres a recipe for both the cran-syrup and the french toast. seasons greetingz.

(makes 4-6 slices)

Cranberry Compote: 2-3 cups fresh cranberries 2 cups grade A maple syrup pinch of cinnamon

French Toast:

loaf of fresh crusty white bread, thickly sliced 2 cups silk nog 3 tablespoons syrup 5 tablespoons flour pinch of cinnamon dash of vanilla extract margarine and cast iron skillet (for cooking)

making the compote is super easy, just pour your cranberries in a dry sauce pan and turn the heat to low. they will slowly start to pop and get juicy as their interiors heat up and they burst. cook them for about 10 minutes, or until most of them have popped, then add the syrup. stir to incorporate and allow syrup to heat up, so that its nice and warm when you pour it on your french toast. what you don't use you can always store in a jar in the fridge. 

slice your fresh crusty white bread thick, and mix all other ingredients together in a bowl. whisk the flour in quickly tablespoon by tablespoon to avoid clumping. stab each slice of bread a few times with a fork to aerate it and make it more susceptible to soaking in the batter. soak your bread in the batter for a few minutes on each side. this part of the process is the most important one for the success of your french toast if you ask me; if it soaks for too long the center will loose firmness and get sloppy and no amount of time in the skillet will bring it back from mushy mess, and not long enough and the center will remain just bread, and so the french toast will be dry and hard. so keep an eye on your slices when they're in the batter and be prepared to lift them out at just the right moment and throw them onto the skillet. your skillet should be hot enough so that when you throw a bit of margarine in it sizzles and bubbles,  which should also happen when you start to cook the french toast. once one side is golden brown, flip your slice. i flip a few times to ensure even cooking while i take my french toast from golden brown to caramelized kind-of-burnt brown. plate and drizzle with cranberry compote syrup and powdered sugar!
