The lady is making something today called "Tom & Jerry" batter. It's sounds like it's eggs, powdered sugar, butter, cinnamon and nutmeg and ends up as thick as ice cream. You add a scoop of it to hot water then pour in 2oz of dark rum. I am being told it's like hot eggnog with a kick.

When I was in college in South Dakota, this was a thing for the drinkers this time of year. I was still trying to drink and before I realized it just made me really sick. I could never get past a taste or two of Tom and Jerry's.

Tom & Jerry (the drink)

First prepare a batter, using a mixing bowl. Separate the yolk and white of one egg, beating each separately and thoroughly. Then combine both, adding enough superfine powedered sugar to stiffen. Add to this one pinch of baking soda and 1/4 oz. rum to preserve the batter. Then add a little more sugar to stiffen.

To serve, use a hot mug, 1 tablespoon of the batter dissolved in 3 tablespoons hot milk. Add 1 1/2 ounce rum. Fill the mug with hot milk within 1/4 inch of the top of the mug and stir. Add 1/2 ounce brandy and sprinkle a little nutmeg on top.

Somewhere I have a Tom & Jerry punch bowl with cups. I always wondered what the drink was like.

Recipe in above post and again here.

Mr. Brown sherry cask aged coffee that my daughter brought me from Taiwan. Not bad.

Last night, egg nog with kahlua and milk, and cookies. Ho-ho-ho!

 

[teeceetx]

Mimosa, while cooking brunch ... scrambled eggs with all sorts of stuff in them.

Later, Irish Cream, and then wine with dinner.

That's similar to what she made. This is her recipe:

Ingredients:​

• 12 large eggs, separated and room temperature
• 1 pound (4 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 3 pounds confectioners’ sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 teaspoon ground allspice

Instructions:​

1. Prepare the Batter: Beat egg whites and salt until stiff peaks form. Fold in 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar. In a separate bowl, beat egg yolks until thick and light-colored. Stir in marshmallow cream (not included in the original recipe, but a common addition). Fold egg white mixture into egg yolk mixture.
2. Add Butter: Gradually add softened butter to the batter, beating until fully incorporated.
3. Assemble the Drink: Spoon 2-3 heaping tablespoons of batter into a large mug. Add 2 ounce of rum (or brandy). Pour in boiling water to fill the mug 3/4 full. The batter will rise to the top. Sprinkle with nutmeg.

Thank you. We used to have a large batch of it back in the day, but I do not remember the butter. I do remember hot buttered rum being a winter beverage though.

Someone from Wisconsin probably got ahold of the recipe.
