I know, it's a formidable act to follow, that gentleman with the 6 qts. of brandy and curdled milk! It was fun to pursue something other than eggnog this year.

Can't resist mentioning Ben Franklin's milk punch recipe:
6 qts. brandy, 44 lemon rinds, steeped. Strain and add to it 4 qts. water, 4 grated nutmegs, 2 qts. lemon juice, 2 lbs. sugar. Add 3 qts. boiled milk, stir, let stand 2 hours, then "run it thro' a jelly-bag till it is clear."
