Aren't the eggs lonely after they are seperated?

I usually have virgin eggnogs around Christmas time and I look forward to it all year long. This ice cream, even with the alcohol would be delicious not only for the holidays, but for a relaxing summer evening on the deck. Ooh, I can just picture myself savoring your ice cream. :-)

Sandy...I love eggnog.

Bud...Yes, but it inevitable.

Joy...I agree. I also prefer to drink it without alcohol. It tastes better.
