Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas and a happy New Year! To end the year we are taking a break from our usual discussions and instead are delving into the culinary world of Eggnog, that classic, American Christmas cocktail. This is a drink that has been part of Mon-Chaio's and Andy's winter-time traditions for almost two decades and gives them a chance to geek out about cooking and food chemistry.

While eggnog is the focus of attention, we also delve a little into egg handling, woodworking, and pasteurization.
