With Three You Get Eggnog

Subscribe to GLoP CultureSubscribe

It's last GLoP of 2018 and we go out with a....shot of eggnog. Actually, we go out with some concise commentary (or rank punditry®, whichever your prefer) on the cuisine and beverages of the holiday, what the heck is going on at CBS, a fond farewell to Penny Marshall, a rave review for Spiderman: Into The Spider-Verse, and a pick for the 2018 time capsule. Thanks for all the Goldberg giggles in '18 and we'll see (hear?) you next year.

    I've seen "A League Of Their Own" a few times. I don't remember any deliberate tie score at the end.

    But, at any rate, in baseball don't they keep playing - extra innings - until there's NOT a tie score?

    For some reason Rob Long's explanation of eggnog--specifically, his insight that melted vanilla ice cream is akin to eggnog*--caused me to realize that that if you:

    1. dipped slices of bread into classic eggnog; and then
    2. toasted said eggnog coated bread slices on a griddle

    you would then have French toast. Boozy French toast.

    Now I have to do this.

    * Yes, obviously my conclusion is a non sequitur. Yes, I know melted ice cream isn't suitable for French toast. But eggnog, with its egg yokes in heavy cream and cinnamon/nutmeg, would make excellent French toast. Don't ask me what mental alchemy enabled me to make this leap. Don't harsh my mellow.
