Christmas special! ^^ I thought that a Buttermilk Buckskin would be 'Christmasy' for you. Since, she/he reminds me of Eggnog.

Your goal is to tempt me into drinking eggnog this year. I am no big fan of it, but maybe you can change that?
Pictures, drawings, stories, etc can tempt me in anyway. You can only add 2 extras into tempting me.
EX: one picture and one story of eggnog.

Tempt me with Eggnog: I am actually not much of a fan of eggnog myself, but rather than not try for this gorgeous horse, I thought I would use it to my advantage. So I went searching for things that might lead me to try eggnog myself again. We are allowed 2, so the picture of the glorious cupcakes to the left is my first. They are so very pretty. That alone makes me want to eat them. And everything is better as a cupcake,so maybe that goes for eggnog as well.

My second attempt at tempting is this picture. Lets face it...bacon is amazing. So...they lure me in with the bacon...and I'll try the pretty eggnog. If I don't like it, at least I got the bacon. Plus, its always a good idea to try things you don't like. Your tastes change as you grow, so something you hated once might end up being a new favorite.

So pretty! I would try for her but I try egg nog every year, and every year it's bad. I don't think I'd be good at tempting anyone

Don't like Egg nog? That's okay! Because they make Eggnog Cinnamon Rolls! They taste better than just regular Eggnog by itself. I can't stand Eggnog unless it's used in cooking. Just look at it! Eggnog with a delicious twist.

If you really want to try it, I suggest checking this recipe (best one you'll find) for them! Here's a no yeast recipe but I've never used it so I can't say that it's good or not.

One fact about eggnog:
Why eggnog is a seasonal drink?
More than 2 billlion and 530 million calories are consumed in eggnog each year. Imagine how many calories we would consume, if eggnog would be offered the whole year?
So, grap one during a time, where counting calories is a cuss and enjoy the rare temptation! Eggnog-aholics can buy the whole year products like eggnog soap, eggnog cupcakes, eggnog gummbears and so on to pass their time until next dec. 24th is the next national eggnog day!

A cool receipe for people don´t like the classic version, fitting to the DAM colouring:
BUTTERMILK LEMON EGGNOG

This delicious version of eggnog is worth trying during the festive season

Ingredients:

8 eggs, separated

2/3 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups whole (3.25%) milk
1 1/2 cups homemade buttermilk
2 cups heavy cream
Grated zest from 1 lemon

Directions:

Place the egg whites in a large bowl or mixer and whisk on low speed for a minute until gently beaten.

Turn it up to med-high - high and beat the eggs until the soft peaks form approx 1-2mins

With mixer running lower the speed to medium and add half of sugar making sure it all blends in.

Turn off mixer and put the egg whites large bowl.

In another bowl or the mixer bowl, add the yolks and remaining sugar.

Mix these until slightly thick and pale yellow , shutting off machine and scraping down sides with a rubber spatula as necessary, about 2 minutes total. Add milk, homemade buttermilk, cream and lemon zest, and mix on low speed to combine.



Using a rubber spatula or handheld whisk, fold the whipped whites into the egg yolk/milk mixture until completely incorporated. Serve by ladling into goblets and garnishing with more lemon zest.

Tempt me with Eggnog:

I'll be honest - I'm actually not much of a
fan of eggnog either, at least in its liquid
form. Something about the consistency
paired with how much it tastes like milk
throws me off, and I've only ever tried it
once. However, I'll admit that I'm a
sucker for pretty things (like this DAM!),
and the picture at left might actually
convince me to retry eggnog. It just
looks so comforting, and I do love
cinnamon...

Like I said, I don't much enjoy eggnog in its liquid form... But I can be tempted when it's used for baking. It's so sugary and vanilla-y (?) that it makes pastries and confectionaries taste as rich as milk chocolate when it's used. One Christmas a couple years ago, my dad was trying to tempt me into drinking some eggnog with everyone else, but I still didn't want any after the first time I had tried it. So instead, he went out to the store on Christmas Eve (in a near blizzard, no less!) and got baking supplies. When he got home, he preceded to make eggnog donuts (recipe found here). Now, my dad knows that I'm a huge sucker for donuts, and he definitely took advantage of that. And when I tried them... Wow. One of the best things I've ever eaten. They were still warm, and so rich and delicious... It was kind of like the flavor of a milkshake in a donut with a bit of nutmeg and sugary glaze. I was in heaven, and the rest of my family loved them too. Probably the best thing I've ever had to eat on a Christmas Eve.
