Marley's Eggnog
"This recipe was created one evening as we prepared to decorate our Christmas tree. I had all the necessary ingredients to prepare *Alia*'s Ghost cocktail (Recipe #258081) except for the half and half. We had just returned from the store, where we'd picked up a small carton of eggnog. The rest kind of wrote itself. To the "ghost" of Marley, and the "ghosts" of Christmas past, present and future! Please note that my husband and I prefer alcohol to be a secondary flavor in our drinks - if you are accustomed to stronger drinks, you may want to add more vodka as desired. As written, this is a great "starter drink" for those that might not be so bold. For those making larger batches, this comes out to approximately 6 parts eggnog to 1 part of everything else."

Welcome! I am a casual cook looking to expand my experience and creativity when it comes to feeding my husband and myself! I am a (yet unpublished) fantasy writer that is lucky enough to have a husband who understands and accepts why I don't have a "real" job of my own. We have two kids (the purring kind) that are more than enough for the time being!
I spend most of my non-kitchen time reading, playing video games of all kinds (yes, we girl gamers ARE out there, and we don't have to limit ourselves to casual games if we don't want to) and writing. My husband and I are working on an independent game design for a kid-friendly RPG that might go somewhere (well, we're hopeful anyway.)
I tend to add things "to taste" and do not often measure ingredients for myself unless I am baking. Please take the listed amounts for my recipes as suggestions, not unbreakable rules. You should know what you like and there's no shame in following that. I don't expect everyone in the world to like the same level of salt, pepper and other seasonings that I do. Just go with your instincts. When in doubt, add to taste and stop when you're satisfied. You can always add more but you can't take it back out!
I have been a type 1 diabetic since 1996 and I have been working hard to get myself back on track during the last few years, after spending several years in poor control. This also includes getting my weight down (ugh.) I am eager to try low-carb and low-fat options that still retain plenty of taste! Sugar itself is not the enemy but it does still add up to carbs, so I have to be cautious.
My favorite cookbook would have to be Recipezaar! I don't often use formal cookbooks since I prefer to use my laptop to store everything safely. When I do, my favorite book would have to be my Taste of Home cookbook from 2003. It was my first cookbook and has some amazing recipes in it that I would love to make more often.
