I got a whiff of something tonight that made me feel nostalgic.
You know what's rare-to-nonexistent in MedellÃn?
Eggnog.
I haven't had eggnog in over half a decade.
Man, I should make some.
(And oat milk is a staple here, *way* cheaper and more popular than North America, so maybe a vegan spiked version... 🤔 Hm hm hm!)
Also hard to come by: molasses, to bake my own gingerbread; mulled wine; canned cranberries; maple syrup; & lemons (though limes abound!). To every region its specialties. 😋
I'm glad the post brought up good memories. :) That's the important part! No "sorries" required when reminiscing around a seasonal classic.
@MLClark sorry, I looked up White House recipe remembering a story from years back with LOTS of alcohol, there are several from scratch versions but to go vegan you might have to go to a gum (xanthan?) to get it thick and creamy but not too much or it’ll be too slickery
