Happy Egg Nog Month!
First, let me confess that I have never liked egg nog. Neither The Furry Guy nor I drink the stuff. But several years ago I began buying it regularly. I’ll explain later. First, here’s a bit about egg nog.
Egg nog is traditionally made with milk, cream, sugar, whipped egg whites, and egg yolks. Sometimes brandy, rum, whisky, or bourbon are added to the frothy mixture. Back when sugar was scarce, egg nog was considered a special treat to be enjoyed any time of the year. One of the Little House on the Prairie books mentions taking egg nog to the men working in the hot fields. The egg nog gave them the energy to finish their day’s work. Today, of course, we think of egg nog as a Christmas drink—so much so that it’s difficult to find in stores any other time of year.
So, if I don’t like egg nog, why do I buy it? Several years ago I came across a recipe for Nutty Nog Bars. It’s a delicious macadamia nut bar cookie with an egg nog glaze. I was complaining to our son that, since the recipe uses a small amount of egg nog, I was left with a bunch of egg nog I’d never use. He asked why I wasn’t putting it in my coffee. Good idea. I tried that, and it was delicious.

Let’s Keep Dancing
This is from 2005. I thought my writing days were winding down (that was about 12 books ago) and I was on the reinvention wheel once again. I'm not sure I've ever gotten off. Anyone else been on that ride?
"If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing..." -from "Is That All There Is?" by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, sung by Peggy Lee.
There are times — long, achy days of a bad knee and raging sinuses and throbbing finger joints — when I resent that I’m 50some and tumbling inexorably down the wrong side of the middle age slope. Is this all there is? I whine, channeling Peggy Lee. Have I worked all these years so I could afford to go more places and see and do more things just to learn I’m too old, too sore, and too damn tired?
I have time, now that I no longer preside over carpools, hold down bleachers, or operate a short-order kitchen and 24-hour laundry, to read all I want to. I have stacks of books and magazines beside my chair, along with a strong reading lamp, a spot for my coffee cup, and a blanket to cover my cold feet. However, if I sit in one spot for more than 15 minutes, I fall asleep. Most of my reading these days is done in the car, where I feed CDs of my to-be-read list into the player and “read” all the way to work and back. I love audiobooks, and listening to them makes my commute downright enjoyable, but there’s something lacking without the reading lamp, the cup, and the blanket.
Now that tuition, six-boxes-of-cereal weeks, and expensive shoes and jeans are in my past, I could, if I was interested, buy much nicer clothing for myself. But gravity and years of eating too much and exercising too little have made buying clothes a nightmare instead of a pleasure.
