Seize the Day! Put no trust in the morrow! — Horace
Nothing takes the place of a sincere thank you to all those who serve… but we do hope you all find this picture pleasing and makes you smile as it did me!
Remember those who maintain our freedom and preserve our ability to choose and our way of life.
Happy Veteran’s Day!
If you look into how and where and why egg nog was developed you will be very disappointed because everyone claims to have had something similar. It reminds me of how the Sumerians claim to have invented Baklava… but crushed nuts, honey and flat bread aint a good substitute.
So, let’s just say that our American Egg Nog is distinctively different with its range of ingredients, long list of spices and multiple alcoholic beverages!
In the old days, most desserts contained one spice, usually a reflection of frugal times. Apple Pies were seasoned with cinnamon alone (or all spice), gingerbread had ginger and eggnog was a nutmeg flavored beverage; but this has all changed. It’s hard to buy a commercial brand of eggnog today that doesn’t contain at least three spices.
So, is it getting a little chilly yet? It is definitely approaching egg nog weather which usually starts around Thanksgiving!

They offer many types of scents to set a romantic mood to perk culinary appetite… personally, If they made fresh bread or don nut scent… I would be so there!
In any event, my daughters love coming home to welcoming fragrance and thanks to another Karen… it happened!
I looked everywhere to find a good lamb CHARCOAL ROTISSERIE of around 52″. It had to have a strong enough spit to handle most of the lambs and pigs I would like to roast… and the motor would have to be positioned far enough away from the pit so that I wouldn’t have to replace it every few occasions. A nice grease tray would be nice as would a wind break and something to hold the middle of the lamb firmly on the spit….

Here is ‘Gus” cooking and ‘tasting’ for quality assurance the lamb he is preparing on his front yard! I screen captured this from the delightfully entertaining movie “My Big Fat Greek Wedding”. The movie is 9 years old now, but always brings a smile… which is why I named my new Lamb Rotisserie “GUS”.
