December 07, 2022 No Episode, Only Egg Nog

There's no episode this week. Instead, I'd love for you to try my own egg nog recipe for whatever you want to pay!

Click here to get my egg nog recipe!

My son and I created this recipe together after many trials, and it's now my whole family's favorite egg nog and it goes fast at Christmas time!

Pay whatever you feel the recipe (or The Audacity to Podcast) is worth to you. You can pay nothing, or come back to “repurchase” it later if you'd like to support it!

Try my delicious egg nog recipe!

And please let me know what you think, or leave a review on the page!

But hurry, I'll keep this available only through December 31!
