"farmland" news and stories

This is the season for egg nog (I just bought some this weekend, actually). It's probably good that we only drink the stuff one month out of the year. It's not exactly a health food.

New York mag taste tests a bunch of store-bought egg nogs and gives the results. I'll leave the best for you to see when you click, but I will say Ronnybrook, Silk Soy Nog and Horizon get a big thumbs down. (Hey, no Hood egg nog? Maybe it's a regional thing - I live near Boston - but I think it tastes great!)

Waterfront Ale House's Sam Barbieri is the judge, and he gives his recipe for the ultimate eggnog. (Side note: is egg nog one word or two? I see it both ways everywhere; in fact, it's both ways on the cartons shown in the pics in this article. Hmmm...)
