Jump aboard my (Christmas) Train of Thought!

Eggnog is a perenial yule-time favorite, right? But you can't always afford a carton of the stuff.

Or money for eggs with which you can make your OWN Nog from.

However, MAYONAISE? Well heck! Mayo is the finest egg-based product in all of forever! Even the most destitute of unemployed drunkards has a half-jar of Mayo in the fridge (right next to the jar of olives and the half-empty box of Arm & Hammer Baking Soda). And even if you DON'T have a half-jar of mayo in the fridge, lil' packets of Mayonaise can be obtained quite easily from any fast-food eatery such as McDonalds or Burger King!

And so I propose a new low-cost Holiday beverage:

MAYONOG!!!

Nothing brings The Holidays together quite as nicely as a rich, creamy beverage with the tangy ZIP of Miracle Whip!

ew much?

[captain-slinky.livejournal.com]

Half-cup of Mayo, half-cup of charcoal grill lighter fluid, shake vigerously till frofthy... what's not to love?

Ooh, NUTMEG! I forgot the nutmeg!

[nani-ka.livejournal.com]

Miracle Whip is not Mayonnaise.

Mayonnaise is actually good.

[captain-slinky.livejournal.com]

You're just jealous!

But still... I figure my Mayonog could be made with Dest Foods, Hellman's and/or Safeway Select mayo :)

At the risk of not sounding open-minded, ideas like this should be considered criminal offenses.

[captain-slinky.livejournal.com]

I'm deeply offended! I may not even share my Spambrosia Sald with you now!

If I ever come to your house for dinner, I'm only eating the stuff I bring. (special diet you see, nothing personal)

[captain-slinky.livejournal.com]

Well NOW I'm offended! I may not even share my Spambrosia Salad with you!

Eggnog is just an excuse to drink bourbon.

[captain-slinky.livejournal.com]

Bourbon... lighter fluid... same difference! In my Mayonog, it's all good :)

[hallerlake.livejournal.com]

Hell, why bother with lighter fluid, go with antifreeze ;)

[captain-slinky.livejournal.com]

Doctor said I'm not allowed to dring antifreeze any more :(

[hallerlake.livejournal.com]

Get a second opinion... I know Jack Kevorkian isn't writing prescriptions anymore ;)

ok, just to encourage you... you probably could use mayo, you'd need to beat it with a mixer to soft peaks, add the sugar, and then you could cut down a little of the amount of heavy cream because there's already fat in the mayo. skip the bourbon, add the milk and nutmeg. then whip up some egg whites (pasturized pre-separated from the mega mart - no salmonila) with some more sugar and mix it all together.... it might just work. lemme know how it works out.

YOU, my dear, are SICK.

RECIPE FOR MAYONOG:

1 Half-jar of Mayonaise
1 Cup Milk (or 16 "Half-N-Half" containers from Denny's, or 14 packets of "Non-Dairy Creamer" mixed with 1 cup of water)
1 Sprinkle of Nutmeg
1 Flask of Charcoal Grill Lighter Fluid

Pour everything in to the half-empty jar of Mayonaise and screw on the cap; shake till it's all frofthy and smoothe. Enjoy!

Garnish with hemlock.

you are making alton brown cry, and he doesn't even know why, but he is crying.

but seriously, let me know how it goes.

[nani-ka.livejournal.com]

I worship your icon.

With little pickles.

[tigernach.livejournal.com]

I love your pickles! ;)

[lady-absinthe.livejournal.com]

I don't know if I should be laughing my arse off, or hurling into the nearest potted plant. It's always the nutmeg. Noone stops to consider using a bit of cinnamon or cocoa. Damn you, nutmeg! You snotty, uppity, spices really need to be taken down a peg.

I'll stick with Low Fat Mayo for my mayonog...that way it goes to my waist and not my hips.

[captain-slinky.livejournal.com]

But... ut the Hollidays is all Nutmeg ever gets! Pumpkin Pie and Egnog, then banished to the back of the space rack till next year :(
