Today is my parent’s 35th wedding anniversary!! I thought that, as a tribute, i’d take the opportunity to share an egg nog recipe from the priest that married them. The nickname is from my sister recently proclaiming that the egg nog is not far from rocket fuel based on the high alcohol content…she’s a propulsion engineer, so I’ll take her word for it 🙂
