 people about collaborations for next year here for YouTube and also on Facebook and Working on a few random things here and there And just sitting around kind of relaxing today. That's not what we plan on doing for today, but that's okay We are puppy sitting if you're watching this clip. You've already seen that clip And so Lily is here. She's been a lot of fun, but Yeah, it's just a quiet day at home laundry dishes TV, you know, the usual all right, I'll be back. What are we cooking Fred? We're gonna make eggnog You're too sober to cook So we're making egg not homemade eggnog it is Bob's or I'm sorry Fred's family recipe We will include it in the description below We are gonna put a disclaimer right here and right now Don't do this at home No, it do caution. So traditionally Bob's family made this recipe for a long time with raw eggs and unpasteurized raw eggs and I we don't really recommend that you could get very sick and give someone salmonella They do make eggs Pasteurized in the shell. We do recommend that you use those. We are not responsible for anyone getting ill So that's that that that anyway, we'll be back So in the old days, you used to have to beat the egg yolks, what a hundred times? hundred times Today we use the food processor much much easier Again, you want pasteurized in the shell eggs people. Let's not make anybody sick this holiday season if we can help it Here he's got the water with the regular granulated sugar dissolved in it And he's gonna be adding your beating. He's adding vanilla sugar Ten packets ten packets. You got to use the ogre brand vanilla sugar. Yeah, you can get it at world market the Russian stores or Eastern European stores usually have it or Amazon Here you go. We're gonna need some vodka 80 proof or better And some vanilla extract, right? Yeah, but also the liquid vanilla, right? Yeah, I take it back. No vanilla extract just vanilla sugar rum and eggs I make sure you have a drink while you're doing it. Oh, yeah see Fred's drinking so he's not sober while he's cooking So this is the eggs beaten up with the sugar And we've been beating this up for now for about 25 30 minutes because we do Two minutes on low for each packet and there's ten packets It's supposed to be a hundred beats Yeah What we do is we put the timer on for two minutes every time we put a packet in So at two minutes times ten, that's 20 minutes. What's you know some time in between, you know while you're doing it What's the speed on the mixer? It's on the low speed low speed So this was nice and thick and then I added the sugar water, which is one cup of water and three quarters cup of sugar So now you can see this is really nice. So I'm gonna pour this into a bowl with my four cups of vodka four cups four not three not two Four it's 80 proof vodka. You can use 80 proof or better I think my dad uses 100 proof when he makes it so when my great aunt made this Back in the old country. She used a hundred proof vodka hundred proof Four cups and old country. He means Germany. Well, you know back to the well the Deutschland. Yeah, yeah that place So Fred's gonna mix all of these two ingredients into this ball and then I'm going to Pour it into one of these well You have to strain all the goobers out one of these guys and a strainer because we want the goobers You know the egg goobers. There's a egg goobers. So you gotta get the egg goobers. I gotta get any egg goobers out I don't know what a goober is It's you can look it up in wikipedia on what a goober is And if you have any questions on what a goober is Don't talk to me don't I don't want any questions or no comments to the post and can you tell he's on his second cocktail? I don't care. I don't care. He's very talky Anyway, so eggnog. I'll show you when it's all done. I just poured in the four cups of Vodka into the mixture and you can see that there's a little bit of foam on top, but that's okay Just let mix it all together. So you have a good consistency everything's all mixed up and we'll go ahead and ladle it into the glass into the Bottle because we don't want any goobers There you go And once we fill up a bottle this fills up maybe about a bottle and a third This is why I have two bottles out And then once this is done You want to once you got all everything in the bottles You want to put it in the fridge and let it sit for at least 24 hours. Let it chill let it ferment Let it Thick in a little bit I've even put this in the freezer for a little bit because of the hundred excuse me for the because of the 80 proof vodka It doesn't freeze All right, there's one bottle. I like to use these bottles with the caps on it these reusable caps When you're done, you can rinse them out wash them out and everything that and reuse them again and again I'm going to keep everything good and clean Look at that Actually, it's about a bottle and a half So go ahead and rinse out the bottle rinse the outside make sure it's nice and clean stick them in the refrigerator and then Tomorrow, I'm gonna enjoy some good eggnog You know, it's so funny for years Fred here has had me do the navigating while he drew he's driving and then he gets annoyed when we go on little adventures I think he's forgotten over the years that I don't know where I'm going GPS doesn't really help Anyway, happy Monday December 17th, ha ha It's after 5 p.m. In the evening and we're out running errands and anyway Hope you've had a good one.
