eggnog

Filed under: Uncategorized, drinks — Tags: , , — Mr. F.C. @ 11:06 am

What is eggnog? Eggnog is a traditional Christmas holiday drink made from mostly cream and eggs sprinkled on top with some nutmeg.

Traditionally spiked with Whiskey, Bourbon, or rum, but you can choose any spike you like!

Eggnog comes mostly in the one flavor, and that is a creamy, vanilla type of flavor that is very rich! There is also a hint of spice once you add the nutmeg.

Chocolate eggnog? Never seen it or heard of it but there must be a reason why they don’t make it. If you are looking for an eggnog recipe your best bet if to search the FoodNetwork website.

If you want to skip the hassle of making your own the Borden brand of eggnog is very rich and tasty. Most grocery store chains also sell their own version which many times are just as close to the quality of Borden’s.

Merry Christmas!

Filed under: candy — Tags: , , , , — Mr. F.C. @ 8:58 am

Halloween is coming up, so let’s talk about the flavors available to you in Twizzlers candy.  Twizzlers are a licorice candy made by Hershey’s.  They were originally made by a licorice company named National Licorice Company – created in 1902.  This company eventually merged with Hershey’s, putting Twizzlers out under their name.

Licorice is not everyone’s favorite candy.  It has a very distinctive flavor that only appeals to some people.  It is very chewy.  The black colored Twizzler is the only true licorice flavor, and many would describe it as very bitter tasting, as licorice is an anise-flavored candy.

With all that said, twizzlers flavors include 1.) strawberry 2.) cherry 3.) true black licorice, and 4.)chocolate flavor.

Flavored pumpkin foods for halloween

Filed under: halloween — Tags: , , , , , — Mr. F.C. @ 11:19 pm

Halloween is almost here!  You see all the pumpkins in the store and want to buy them, but besides carving them, what can  you do with pumpkins?  Well, there are a number of foods that can be flavored with pumpkin to make tasty halloween treats.  So, in honor of the October season, here are some pumpkin flavored foods for you to try…starting with:

Pumpkin beer or Pumpkin Ale – a favorite halloween flavor, pumpkin beer comes around in droves once a year in October.  Depending on the beer quality, it can range from tasting like pumpkin pie to just faintly hinting of pumpkin.

Pumpkin Soup – Pumpkin soup actually has a very pleasant flavor that is good for all of fall.  Made with coriander, chicken broth, curry powder, heavy cream, and of course pumpkin – the smooth-tasting soup is a favorite of many.

Pumpkin Pie – need I say more?  Pumpkin pie flavor cannot be beat – it is mild and subtly sweet.  With a dollop of whip cream, you can’t beat it.

Pumpkin Bread – Leftover pumpkin goes great when baked into a loaf.  The bread turns out moist and spicy and is a healthy-flavorful treat.

Pumpkin Pancakes – Made like regular pancakes but with pumpkin spice and puree, this morning treat has a mild flavor you’ll love.

Pumpkin Doughnuts – MMMMmmmmm…..

Pumpkin Marmalade - Marmalade isn’t for everyone, and certainly the kind flavored with this squash isn’t, but if you want to try something a bit different, try making some marmalade with your leftovers…makes for a great holiday snack.

Pumpkin Cream Cheese – You’ll start to see it in stores…the flavor of the cream cheese mixed with the squash is delicious.
