I thought it was a bottle of pee…for drinking…had to do a quick scroll backI looked at the picture before I finished reading your post and thought "what freakish hellscape of a past that had eggnog that looked like that".![[laugh]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/012.gif "Laugh [laugh]")

This wasn't a reading comprehension issue, this was a jumping to conclusions issue.

is it sold in MA anywhere?The stuff we buy:
Eggnog — Arethusa Farm | Farm in Litchfield, CT | Dairy | Restaurant & Cafe
www.arethusafarm.com
Super rich and super good (and I don't know about a half cup but one cup is enough).
I then repurpose the bottles for iced tea:

Good question - we buy their eggnog at some local places, including (oddly enough) at Nardelli's, a local sandwich shop. There are some grocery stores that carry it as well.
I have to wonder if there isn't an analogue to Arethusa in Massachusetts.
As for the iced tea I put in the bottles after we drink the eggnog - that's this:
The recipe: fifty-five at one fifty-five for five - easy to remember.
You will need two pots, both of which can accommodate a gallon plus, and a strainer. (I use a stainless pot and a stainless cylinder of the kind you can get at restaurant supply shops.) Both need to be super-clean. Into the first, add a gallon (or a bit more, maybe an additional half cup to a cup) of that Good Water. Start the heat under it.
Meanwhile, using your kitchen scale, measure 55 grams of that tea. No more, no less.
Monitor the heating of the water. It needs to come to 155 degrees Fahrenheit, no more, no less. An instant read thermometer is handy for this, and good for watching as it climbs. 153... 154... 155 and OFF (and take it off the burner) and in goes the tea. Start your kitchen timer timing FIVE MINUTES (no more, no less). Stir reasonably vigorously for the first 20 seconds or so. Then stir off and on throughout that five minutes. Stir more vigorously and continuously the last 30 seconds or so. When it gets to about five seconds remaining, pour the tea into the strainer over the second pot (or in my case, cylinder). Let it drain A BIT (but not completely or else it will overextract and get bitter).
Cover your second pot/cylinder with plastic wrap, and pop it in a sink of cold water to expedite cooling.
When reasonably cool (that is, cool enough to put into whatever home - like my eggnog bottles - you've chosen), GENTLY pour from the pot/cylinder into that container. (I use a funnel.) "Gently" meaning: don't stir up the sediment that has settled at the bottom - that's why a little more than a gallon of water is good: between what the tea leaves absorb and that bit with the sediment at the bottom you'll want to toss, with an extra cup or so you'll still have a yield of a gallon.
Pop the tea in its container(s) in the fridge.
A pound of tea should yield eight batches (and a bit more). So (not counting cost of water or other incidentals), $21 for eight gallons.
I leave it as-is (unsweetened). You can do as you'd like.

This has no place in this thread unless you're making southern style sweet tea with it.
Not resizing it smaller. These things I could eat into a coma. Messy as all get out to boot.

Hot dogs uber alles.
You get fat, salt, meat from unknown animals, if they are even animals, and chemicals. But yummy!!
And have you ever seen someone eating a hotdog who was unhappy?

It’s funny, I had divoticulitis five times before they removed the offending section of colon. The Mrs. had it once and came within two hours of dying. Very scary! My surgery was in 2000. I eat all the stuff they say not to and have never had a problem. The Mrs. surgery was in 2018 and she won’t go near anything with seeds or peanuts. Near death experiences will do that I guess.

Used to eat the pretzel crisps in the buffalo style and while I knew they tasted salty, I had to stay away when I realized HOW MUCH salt was in a 1 oz serving.
The good news is you get 6% of your iron for the day...

High Lawn Farm, in Lenox.
Their seasonal eggnog is out on the shelves now, and their chocolate milk is equally good.
No idea how big their distribution area is, but I know I'm in it. I may have had half a quart of eggnog last night, it should have a warning label, something about the serving size being all of it. If I add in a half a dozen Mrs. Murphys maple bacon donuts, it's my favorite near-lethal junk food.

I'm both salivating, and on the verge of a diabetic coma just thinking about this...and I'm not even diabetic! And I've never even had one before!

In comes Nashville Hot Chicken swaddled in honey to close the thread….
Dave’s is halfway there. Gotta go south for the real thing. Birdies in Brockton can get pretty close when they’re not too high to work.
It’s gonna be a short but good life.

Camping, I usually head out the day before the family comes out. I set up camp and that evening I eat half a can of SPAM, fried with half a can of baked beans. I pair that meal with several Guiness. That next morning, I eat the rest of the SPAM, fried again, baked beans with 3 fried eggs.
Bingo!
Community Service? You provide the gas heat for the rest of the family?
Just finished these off today with my daughter.
I won't put Ice Cream on my list because it's not completely unhealthy but it's a big weakness of mine. Not in any particular order;
• Charleston Chew
• Necco Wafers
• M&M's
• Butterfinger
• Fruit Slices
• Salt Water Taffy
• Malted Milk Balls
• Circus Peanuts
and my number one, Candy Corn.
I could eat several pounds per sitting, easily.

For me, it's always noodles. I am a snob for top quality ramen.
Also, the local Thai places Drunken or Crazy noodle dishes. (Though not in plastic. )
Man, I can survive for a MONTH on those good noodles packages.
