»In which we wrap our noggin around getting our nog on

Some people are getting an early start on nog season (which for me always begins the Wednesday afternoon before Turkey Day, with some of my favourite nog), and forcing a small dairy in Maine to recall their bottled nog:

The FDA notified the Maine Department of Agriculture that all Smiling Hill egg nog on store shelves -- about 400 gallons at that point -- had to be recalled to protect people with egg allergies who don't know there's egg in egg nog.

Chow has a good explanation ofwhy aging eggnog is safe, prompted by what some call the best eggnog recipe ever, handed down over generations.
