EGGNOG
Homemade eggnog is simple, a recipe for novices, as long as they can whisk. Where many eggnogs go wrong is that they rely more on cream than on alcohol. It's not a liquid dessert. It's a drink, whose coarse edges are muted with cream and eggs. "The Joy of Cooking" has a recipe that hits all the right points, some of them in excess. Made as is, the drinker is apt to experience a brief moment of jolly followed by blacking out. For my adaptation, I cut some of the cream with milk and cut back on the alcohol just a touch so one could finish a glass while still holding onto it.

Steps:
- In an electric mixer or by hand, whisk together egg yolks and 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar until light, dense, and mixture forms a ribbon trail when whisk is lifted. While whisking, very slowly add 1 cup bourbon. Cover this mixture, and refrigerate for one hour.
- Whisk in remaining bourbon, then beat in cream and milk. Add 1/2 cup more milk if it is too thick. In another bowl, whisk egg whites with a pinch of salt, until fluffy. Slowly add remaining confectioners' sugar while whisking; keep whisking until whites are shiny and hold firm but not stiff peaks. Fold egg whites into egg yolk mixture.
- To serve, ladle eggnog into small cups - demitasse cups would work well - making sure to get some foam on each. Grate a little nutmeg on top of each.
