[QUOTE="silverthwait, post: 4751, member: 103"]Looks to me as if it originally lived on Milady's wash stand -- especially given the weight. Incidentally, your grandmother must have been one fearless and succinct lady! You have mentioned her before (chuckle, chuckle!). She should have had my mother-in-law's recipe! MIL's egg nog was created and then poured into a monstrously heavy, cut-up-the-wazoo crystal bowl. Then meringue was added, about five inches of it. More was made as needed, because each cup contained a giant dollop on top. The egg nog itself was strong enough to make one gasp at first taste (then, smoooooth!) I will never forget the first time I tasted it. My MIL came into her guest room at 7:30AM on January 1st, and, loudly and oh so cheerfully, announced, "Wake up, wake up!! Happy New Yeah, and here's your egg nog! Drink up, drink up, honey." MIL is southern.[/QUOTE]
