...Oy...
...He couldn't even wait until the traditional after Thanksgiving dinner offering with the slice of pumpkin pie...
Today Hyperception saw the first bottles of Gustafson eggnog in the dairy case, and there was no talking him out of downing the entire quart bottle in 10 minutes.
So...a week early...the holidays are upon us.
...let the annual weight gain begin...

Yikes, that must be a whole lotta calories. I love eggnog, but in moderation - as with anything else.Menolly wrote: Today Hyperception saw the first bottles of Gustafson eggnog in the dairy case, and there was no talking him out of downing the entire quart bottle in 10 minutes.

I can't even *imagine* chugging eggnog. Ick.
I've been getting the lite version from Safeway. It's not too bad. It doesn't usually last long enough in our house for me to have time to doctor it up.
I remembered the eggnog at Thanksgiving but forgot to buy the sparkling cider. I am under strict orders to remember to get sparkling cider for Christmas.

Yes, ma'am, I bought some cider as well. I've declared my love for it before in the appropriately titled CIDER thread...but I'll happily say it again:
I love cider! Far better than that odious brew known as beer. Strongbow Cider is my favorite.
I bought a 2-litre carton of eggnog.
Cider and eggnog. What more do I need for Xmas?
Oh yeah...Chocolates.

I've always thought that any combination of alcohol and dairy is ghastly, but I like the non-alcoholic sort of eggnog. I usually buy one small carton per year, and that's more than enough. Did notice it in the market last week and wasn't in the mood at the time (which is unusual - I typically look forward to it), but I will probably buy some while it's in season, and will indeed toast MM and our other MIA folks.
Oh, a change is coming, feel these doors now closing
