Hmmm....no. But I'm sure I can come up with something.
Mmmm....eggnogg. Just the thing to go with Jim Beam.
Hi!
I don't have a recipe for that, but I found this:
" For Pine Nut Praline
¼ cup sugar
2 Tablespoons water
¼ cup pine nuts
In a medium heavy-bottomed sauté pan, combine the sugar and water. Place over medium heat and cook until the mixture is golden brown, about ten minutes. Swirl the pan to distribute the caramel. Stir in the nuts and pour onto a lightly oiled baking sheet. Let cool completely and then coarsely chop. Store in an airtight container until ready to use."

How many ears of corn distill into a bottle? I might need more containters.
It is good. My grandmother used to make it, using her mother's recipe. Someone always got tipsie on it 'cause it's so good.
Dunno. I've only made wine and you get 1 gallon of wine for one gallon of grapes. 'Course I don't distill it any.
Well, that's pretty good return on wine! I bet a lot of corn goes into corn whiskey.
So what did you decide to do? chores or watch movie?
Is your cold feelin' better?
How does one distill corn?
We went out to the Christmas tree farm and hunted for the perfect tree. It's up now, all decked out. Now it feels like Christmas.
Cold seems better, but then I'm still on drugs. :)
I ended up watching The Movie and then took a nap. I really have to do some cleaning up in the kitchen, though.
Got hot apple cider on. :)
You make mash out of them first.
Oh. Seems like a waste of corn.
You don't like yer corn from a jar?
I have no idea!
Glad you got your Merry Christmas all installed. All ready now, 'cept the waiting!
What's it like to be home again?
It's nice. Calm except for the hectic bits. Very comfortable so far. My parents buy good wine.
If you get bored.... invite them to play a game of quarters with the wine. Tell 'em you learned it in college.
They wouldn't believe me.
Our dog's getting kind of old and tired. He's nine. His face is turning white. The cats won't die, not the senile one, not the masochist, not the cat-as-fat-as-three-cats. My sister replaced her gerbil with a pair of rats. The bird is still here. I shoulda gotten them a hedgehog for Christmas.
God bless old dogs :~D
... and puppies.
He's sweet. No health problems yet except arthritis. Other than stupidity but he's always been stupid.
