SUMMARY: For 50 years, I’ve been making homemade eggnog, which offers a unique flavor compared to store-bought versions. The recipe origins trace back to recreating my grandfather’s favorite drink, nourishing him in his final days. This annual family tradition, filled with laughter and storytelling, is cherished. I serve eggnog without added liquor, preferring to keep it sweet and creamy. Preparation involves heating milk and blending egg yolks with sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla, then folding in beaten egg whites for texture. Shared hot, garnished with nutmeg and cinnamon, it’s a delightful holiday treat to enjoy with loved ones. Happy Holidays!

SUMMARY: Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday, filled with cherished family traditions and delicious food, thanks to my mother’s exceptional cooking. The highlight was her succulent roasted turkey, accompanied by homemade cornbread dressing and rich gravy, along with classic sides like mashed potatoes and collard greens. Meals were formal, requiring clean clothes and engaging conversations, often shared with relatives. While my Thanksgiving experiences changed in adulthood, leading to lonely meals, the essence of the holiday remains in family and gratitude. This year, I encourage everyone to embrace the holiday spirit, share with others, and appreciate what we have.
