Well, that's what I do. I don't make it from scratch. If I had to,
I'd never have any. Same with eggnog. I just don't drink enough at
any one time to merit making a batch. I do remember making
nonalcoholic eggnog with my grandmother and it was not as complicated
as the recipes I see on the net for party nogs.

Do you have your Dad's Tom & Jerry recipe? I don't think I've ever
seen one.
