By the middle of January it has completely disappeared! I remember as a kid, I used to make it from raw eggs for New Year's Eve for my dad and me. Never got sick on it, either. Haven't tried doing that for years. I've heard you can make it by cooking an egg mixture, but it really seems like too much work!Martyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17570040930983242270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-49919460555600488422021-01-18T13:04:52.753+00:002021-01-18T13:04:52.753+00:00Thanks so much Elaine, I am glad and lucky at leas...Thanks so much Elaine, I am glad and lucky at least that I get to share here.

You would have been an excellent teacher. I loved Home Ec. I would go home and try to recreate what we had learned in class that day. Sometimes hard to do since I wasn't the grocery shopper. I remember making boiled radishes one time. That did not become a family favourite. Happy Birthday to your Dad.

And here they don't have it either, preferring a warm spiced mulled wine or a soft drink they call "julmust" for Christmas drinking.<br /><br />But the cake does sound lovely and I'm more than used to substituting ingredients not found here. Or like you, making things from scratch.<br /><br />Your baking tips are really good - just the sort of thing I learned from my mother, grandmother and aunties when I was growing up. I think that is something people miss out on these days. I have such fond memories of afternoons spent in a lovely fragrant kitchen with these amazing women and learning how to cook and bake. Those lessons have stayed with me always and I've passed them on to my children and now on to my own grandchild. I think they are more inclined to follow the recipe if they know why it is so. I hope that soon you will be able to bake with your grandchildren as well and pass on all of your incredible knowledge.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04088355577823930786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-16021973210021976242021-01-16T11:21:35.251+00:002021-01-16T11:21:35.251+00:00Moist not most, lolMoist not most, lolMarie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-69925094048934082042021-01-16T11:21:09.692+00:002021-01-16T11:21:09.692+00:00I have heard that advocaat tastes quite a bit like...I have heard that advocaat tastes quite a bit like egg nog.

I've never seen eggnog in the shops here or been offered it at Christmas so I was surprised to read it's based on an old English drink called posset according to Wikipedia. The nearest thing I've had is a Snowball-a mixture of lemonade and advocaat which is very sweet and sickly imo and very different to eggnog I would imagine.JAYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17824240663911582541noreply@blogger.com
