That was totally a Wiggles quote. hahaha. Can you tell I'm a mommy? I bet you can...
Today is a quiet day. It feels like the calm before the storm that is Christmas frenzy. Thankfully for the food aspect of that, I have a huge bowl of mixed fruit in the fridge. It will be perfect for snacking when I need something sweet instead of all the sweets that are so dominate this time of year.
I also get the joy of family fun. Tonight is the perusal of Christmas lights. It is a tradition I've enjoyed since I was a child. I look forward to looking back to see my girls' faces at all the lights. It can be pretty magical. I wonder if I can find some Tom & Jerry mix to add to rum so it can be a bit more magical for me!
Speaking of Tom & Jerry mix! Here's the recipe that I've modified:
Tom and Jerry Single Serving
1 egg, separated
1 teaspoon pure maple syrup or agave syrup
.5 ounce dark Jamaica rum
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 ounce brandy
Hot water
Beat egg yolk with syrup, rum and allspice until smooth and thick. Separately beat egg white until stiff. Fold white into yolk mixture. Put mixture into a preheated mug. Add hot water to fill mug 3/4 full. Stir gently. Add brandy. Dust with grated nutmeg.
Think of it like spiked egg nog...but better! Enjoy a cup of cheer and get out the fruit salad!
