THAT EGGNOG HAS
ENGLISH ANCESTRY
Nog comes from the word,
“noggin," meaning a small
drinking vessel with an
upright handle. Eggnog has
been popular in England for
centuries, but it probably
came from the Canary
Islands or Spam because it
contains wine Eggs, milk,
ale or sack, a dry wine, are
standard ingredients for
eggnog
Throughout its early
years, eggnog was known by
many other names egg-pop,
custard posset, syllabub,
milk punch, flip, one yard of
flannel and auld man’s milk.
Instructions for making it
appeared in diaries and
travel notes Later it was
included in cookbook under
"Invalid Foods”'
However, according to
travel diaries, many com
forted themselves with
eggnog enroute to their
destinations And eggnog
was found at a number of
taverns, so it didn’t take
much persuasion to use it for
socializing while engaged in
holiday travel
Eggnog parties were very
popular in the nation's
capital during the whole
period between Christmas
and New Year’s Members
of the Cabinet and Congress
as well as Washington
socialites looked upon this
time as a good season to
make their rounds
Southerners, then and now,
keep a pitcher of eggnog
refrigerated for such a time
as callers appear.
Whether you make your
own or buy it ready-made,
eggnog is an easy
refresment to serve during
the holidays. It’s a sip-able
way to toast vour friends

ABOUT HOW TO STORE
CHOCOLATE
Chocolate is becoming
more and more of a precious
commodity as the price
indicates It you received
chocolates for Christmas
and want to portion out the
goodies past the holiday
season, here are some tips
on how to store chocolate
Chocolate can be stored
successfully because the
cocoa butter in chocolate is a
stable fat and keeps for
years at room temperature
It’s the cocoa fat in chocolate
that makes it melt in your
mouth, unlocking the taste
But this same cocoa fat
can also cause chocolate to
‘bloom” When exposed to
high temperatures the
cocoa butter will melt and
rise to the surface When the
chocolate rehardens a grav
film on the surface remains
This is called bloom
Chocolate with bloom' is
perfectlj safe to eat but it
may not be as creamy as
when it was bought fresh.
To get the full benefit from
chocolate, follow these
simple rules
Keep chocolate a wav
from moisture
Refrigerating or
freezing chocolate is not
desirable When chocolate
warms, or is defrosted
moisture may form on the
surface and cause 'bloom'
Ideal conditions for
storing chocolate are over
60° to 70° F and about 5(1
percent humidity
In hot weather, keep
chocolate in a cool place
Over 80* F milk chocolate
will begin to soften, over 85*
F it will begin to melt
