Foodie Friday : Happy Holidays! Who Wants Egg Nog?
Just creating this blog post as an excuse to share a pretty picture. In my house, a few of my kids really love eggnog. Funny because in the family I grew up in, I only remember one of my siblings making sure that there was eggnog to be served around Christmas time.
December 24th is National EggNog Day!
I never make eggnog. If I do buy it or if my son buys it, we don't have a particular brand. We get whatever is in the store.
Eggnog? It's like fruitcake. You either love it or you hate it. Sharing some links to eggnog recipes you may want to try and/or suggested brands you may want to buy.
And remember.
Alcoholic drinks become non-alcoholic drinks when you don't add the alcoholic beverage to the recipe! So if like the recipe but you don't want the alcohol, just don't put it in there!
If you have a recipe, would you care to share it?

Desserts: "Yolka" with Mango and Passion Fruit Confiture (Guest Post)
Exotic fruits like mango and passion fruit can turn a dessert in a gourmet delight. You are going to love this recipe.
"Yolka" with mango and passionfruit confiture
Ingredients: ⠀
⠀ 📌Merengue:
Egg white 150 g
Granulated sugar 300 g
Lemon juice 1 tsp
⠀
⠀ 📌Cream mascarpone:
Mascarpone 150 g
Cream 33% fat 100 g
Powdered sugar 1 tbsp (optional)
Vanilla extract 1 tsp
⠀⠀ 📌Filling:
Mango jam - passion fruit 150 g
⠀
Preparation:
STEP 1. Meringue:
Heat the protein with sugar in a water bath, stirring constantly, until the sugar crystals dissolve. Remove the protein mass from heat, beat with a mixer until stable peaks. At the end of whipping, add lemon juice. On pastry parchment, draw 3 circles of the desired diameter, turn over and place on a baking sheet. Spread the protein mass with a silicone spatula (or spoon) within the circles drawn, making a small indentation in the center of the circle. Place the baking sheet in an oven preheated to 150 ° C and immediately reduce the temperature to 100 ° C. Bake for ~ 1.5 hours. The exact baking time and temperature range depend on the power of your oven. The meringue should not brown, but should have a hard crust. Cool the finished meringue cakes. ⠀
STEP 2. Cream mascarpone:
Using a mixer, beat the chilled cream with mascarpone and vanilla extract until stable peaks (add powdered sugar if desired). ⠀
STEP 3. Assembly:
Put the cream on the meringue cake, then add a layer of confiture. Repeat with the following cakes. Place the finished cake in the refrigerator for ~ 1 hour.
❗️ Notes: To prevent the pastry parchment from slipping on the baking sheet, grease the edges with whipped protein mass and glue it to the nasty. Bon Appetit!*

Old-Fashioned Fruitcake Recipes | Vintage Recipes and Cookery (Reblog)
I have a fond memory of fruitcake. It dates back over 40 years and it was the time when my husband-to-be took me to his childhood home in The Bahamas to meet his parents. It was the Christmas holiday season. His mother offered me a piece of fruitcake. I did not want to offend her but I really was not a fan of fruitcake. She served me a slice with a cup of coffee. I don't know where my mother-in-law got her fruitcake but to my surprise ... it was delicious!! That is a sweet memory and that's why I was happy to reblog this post. It evoked that memory and took me on a sentimental journey.

Most commercially-made fruitcakes are alcohol-free, but traditionally, fruitcakes usually contained alcohol; both for the flavor and to preserve the cakes for months. In the 1800s, wood burning stoves didn’t have temperature gauges, and oven temperatures varied based on the type and size wood used. You were supposed to learn how to determine the heat through experience. Some recipes ignored the oven temperature and others used terms such as a slow, moderate, or quick oven. ...Continue reading ...

Did you know that food historians say fruitcakes were common in ancient Rome "when pomegranate seeds, pine nuts and barley mash were mixed together to form a ring-shaped dessert"? (Source)
