I like eggnog with a little nutmeg sprinkled on top.I have mine WITHOUT the booze,though.You have to drink eggnog slow! You can't gulp it down.And,yes ,I like grits with butter and a little salt.Can't get grits around here,though.Only way to get grits here is to ride Amtrak,and they don't know how to make good grits.
Ride Amtrak. Cats Rule, Dogs Drool.

Sterling 1, I read through all the other posts before I answered this post. Yes,
we do talk FOOD and EATING here in the Depot Diner and Coffee Shop.
And yes, we also talk about real trains and train layouts. Haven't you ever
read in this thread about our "virtual layouts" here in the Diner? Just like a
REAL diner and coffee shop, we talk about anything and everything here,
along with talking about food. Makes conversations more interesting.

Egg nog is great. I don't what kind some of you folk who hate it got but the stuff I get is just great; tastes better with brandy or rum.

well, the thead is called the Depot Diner & Coffee Shop, so talking about food isn't that much of a suprise! I saw old BNSF 1597 on the Albertville local last week. There- we have train talk again. Problem solved!

Now you know why I don't like eggnog . . . at any point of the year even if I were offered money and I were dead broke . . .

Oscar, you're right about the eggnog. I'd much rather have boiled

And Reb, it's not my favorite, but sure, you can have grits with your
bacon and eggs.


Ice cream and cola sit better in the stomach than eggnog. I've never drunk the stuff but saw a high school senior do for money and pay the price of eggnog too early. It's a true story from the days of being underclassman . . .




. . . . Yeah the idiot did this for a video production when I was in 10th grade. Guy drank 1 and a quarter bottle of eggnog for about US$10. Almost immediately expectorated the fluid from whence it came (from the mouth) onto the table and later into the nearest trash recepticle. Continued to do so all the way to the TV production lab and then to the nurses area. Nevertheless, the TV crew got most of it on film, the principal disgusted, and no detention???(not sure).


OH YES the idiot did have the fastest eggnog drinking time, and the feat/stunt was not repeated.
He expelled the stuff naturally thruogh natural induction to the esophagus . . .

Don't cause a massive induced burnout lest the engine can't be used . . .

Turkey was good some time ago (seems like somewhere in the past) with the local relatives all round. The stay wasn't, it was short and the drive home was better than the drive to granny's house we go . . .

You guys and gals aren't the only ones who get late mags. In Florida because of CFIJ hurricanes in August, September and October, my Trains mags came in late or about two weeks after they were normallly due at the beginning of the month. The most recent issue was received early; Thanksgiving week actually, which for me is the first recorded time that I've seen for a mag issue.

Wind (25 mph+). Rain (just started). Pretty miserable here today. Comfort food sounds good. Did get to enjoy my son and his fiance's 11 week old mini-doxie overnight while they got a nice nights rest. He wasn't bad, but he's not much bigger than your hand, and is definitely a cuddler.... They've got a six hour drive in the wind and rain today, so they needed the rest.

Hopefully all of the trees and wires down calls will stay south of here.

Well, it's Sunday morning, folks.

We'll go light on the breakfast this morning. Just bacon and eggs,
with toast and jelly. I turned on the layouts myself this morning,
so we have the trains running.

Sorry Marty, no turkey and cranberry omelets. But I DO have another
turkey *** in the oven. Walt & I finished the other one last night.
Just for the two of us, we got two turkey breasts that weighed a total
of about 16 1/3 lbs. But we do have a whole turkey in the freezer for
Christmas.

As to the weather you awoke to this morning, we were supposed to
wake up to rain. Haven't seen any yet. And we were supposed to have
a 90% chance of rain ALL day today. Just cloudy and gloomy as
all get out, though.

Jay, thanks for starting the coffee. Overslept this morning (again).
Seems like I've done that a lot lately. Also see you turned on all
the layouts. Thank you.

Breakfast will be (so those going shopping can survive):

bacon, sausage, biscuits, eggs, gravy, fried potatoes (I let Joe do
the hashbrowns), country fried steak, country fried pork chops.
