Just for comparison, I thought I'd look at the calories in Kawartha Dairy Eggnog - the best eggnog in the UNIVERSE. I looked at the calorie count and got so excited! ONLY 190 calories per serving!!!
I could have TWO servings and it'd only be... wait... just... a... second. They say that 1 serving is 1/2 a cup. Who drinks 1/2 a cup of eggnog!?! Who does that? I know for sure that I don't. No one I know drinks 1/2 a cup of freaking eggnog. An actual realistic 1 cup human serving of the best eggnog in the universe would be 380 calories, PLUS rum. 452 calories. That is not a snack's worth of calories. That is a meal. That is the caloric equivalent of a meal. *bangs head on keyboard*
Eggnog. Oh, eggnog, why? WHY??? I have to find a way to have a satisfying amount of your eggy, creamy goodness without giving up one of my meals in a day... Yes, sure I could drink the light eggnog *gag*, but really, what's the point?
sigh
SHOTS!!! EGGNOG SHOTS!!! I pour out 1 oz of eggnog with a 1/4 ounce of rum, top 'em with a little shake of nutmeg and I do them as SHOTS! I haven't done a shot of anything in probably a decade. I could have 4 eggnog shots and it'd only be a snack!! I bet even after two shots, the sense memory of slamming back a shot will have me saying, "Okay, whoa there Nellie... let's not get out of control here..."
I'm having them for breakfast this morning... You know, on account of the fact that there's a huge amount of protein in eggnog shots. THIS. This may be the best idea I've had EVER. And I give it to you. Share it freely with all those who worship at the altar of eggnog. Merry Christmas!
