Eggnog is/has become a once a year holiday thing. IMO it's only a good
thing if a heavy hand is used with the booze added to give it a kick.
 
Bunch of vegan recipes. Why didn't they use any of the animals from
the "Unofficial Harry Potter Bestiary"?

MMMMM------------------FRIED CHICKEN & ASSEMBLY-----------------------
      6    Boned chicken thighs
           Buttermilk; for dredging
 
  RACHELLE'S BUTTERMILK BISCUITS: Set oven @ 400ºF/205ºC.
  
  In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
  Stir in sugar, salt, and pepper. Using the large holes on a box
  grater, grate butter into the dry mixture. Mix with fingertips until
  mixture resembles a coarse meal. Slowly add buttermilk and 1/4 cup of
  cream, working mixture together with hands until a firm dough forms;
  do not overwork dough. Roll dough on a floured work surface to 3/4"
  thick.
  
  Using a floured 2 1/2" round cookie cutter, cut out scones and place
  on a parchment-lined baking sheet 1 1/2" apart. Press dough scraps
  into a ball and repeat.
  
  Brush biscuits with reserved cream and bake on the top shelf for 15
  minutes, or until biscuits are lightly golden. Remove biscuits from
  oven and set aside.
  
  PIMENTO CHEESE: In a medium mixing bowl, stir together cheddar cheese,
  cream cheese, black pepper, roasted red pepper, mayonnaise, sugar,
  cayenne pepper, and a splash of Tabasco sauce. Stir until combined and
  set aside until sandwich assembly.
  
  SAUSAGE GRAVY: In a large heavy-bottomed pot, heat 2 tablespoons of
  sunflower oil over medium heat.
  
  When oil begins to smoke, add sausage and stir with a wooden spoon to
  break up the pieces. Cook for 5 minutes, or until sausage begins to
  brown.
  
  Add onions, garlic, and black pepper. Cook and stir for an additional
  2 minutes. Add the flour and cook while stirring for 1 minute.
  
  Add the milk and bring mixture to a boil over medium-high heat;
  immediately reduce heat to low and simmer until thickened, about 8-10
  minutes. Cover and keep warm over low heat until ready to serve.
  
  FRIED CHICKEN & ASSEMBLY: Marinate chicken thighs in buttermilk in the
  fridge overnight.
  
  FRIED CHICKEN: Set oven @ 350ºF/175ºC. Set deep fryer to 350ºF/175ºC,
  or heat oil in a deep heavy-bottomed pot to 350ºF/175ºC. When oven
  reaches temperature, place biscuits on a baking sheet in the oven to
  warm until plating.
  
  To make the seasoning flour for the chicken, mix together flour,
  baking powder, salt, garlic powder, cayenne, onion powder, paprika,
  and ground black pepper.
  
  Remove chicken from buttermilk and dredge chicken thighs in the
  seasoning flour, to coat. Drop chicken thighs in the hot oil and cook
  on one side for 4-5 minutes. Flip chicken thighs and cook for another
  4-5 minutes. To test for doneness, remove one chicken thigh from the
  hot oil and pierce chicken with a sharp knife at the thickest part.
  Chicken meat should be white throughout. Place on a paper towel-lined
  plate to soak up extra oil while you fry the eggs.
  
  ASSEMBLY: Heat oil or butter in a medium pan over medium heat. Crack
  eggs into the pan and reduce heat to medium low. Fry until whites are
  solid and opaque. Continue frying eggs until you have one egg per
  sandwich.
  
  Remove biscuits from the oven and cut in half. Spread pimento cheese
  on the bottom half. Top with a fried egg, followed by a chicken
  thigh. Pour sausage gravy over the chicken and add the biscuit
  top-half.
