And we're still drawing down our pumpkin-spice supplies. R.S.Y. Buchanan reports seeing this Christmas drink today at the Somerville Whole Foods. Or as he puts it:
It's time we ended this "the tryptophan in turkey makes people sleepy" myth once and for all. People should really know better by now. Cheese contains more tryptophan than turkey for heaven's sake, and no one ever says "this cheese really makes me sleepy".
Skip the pumpkin spice, though. I get the full-fat nog and froth it (with one of those $2 IKEA whipping things), then add the coffee.
Also good: half egg-nog/half whipping cream, whip it up the same as whipped cream and use it for apple and pumpkin pie after you eat your local TLF insurgent.

Shaw's on Beacon Street has had a much bigger eggnog display for weeks now
There have been shovels, snow
There have been shovels, snow scrapers, generators etc. in my local supermarket for a month or so. Madness.
Combine the two
Make some pumpkin spice coffee and use eggnog as creamer Mmmmm
I like your thinking!
