What brand of eggnog is your favorite?

I love eggnog fortunately for my waistline I only drink it at Thanksgiving or Christmas. I love the extra thick creamy variety with a hint of nutmeg. Please advise.

Where to find the best fried shrimp

I,m a lifelong Fried Shrimp fanatic I stumbled upon this place by chance. This man uses his mothers Louisiana recipe to fry the most delectable shrimp I ever tasted. Shrimp is the only product of the restaurant there is only one size. Your only option is quantity, small or large. The prices are very minimal. and the shrimp are definitely addictive. If you can find a tastier shimp anywhere in Chicago area please let me know. Big Dave

French Fried Shrimp

Well after reading these recomendations I have decided to let my best kept secret out .
The place for shrimp is Haire,s Gulf Shrimp. Shrimp is the only thing they do and they do it right. The owner Mr Haire uses his mothers Louisiana family receipe and is always on the premises. It,s carry out only but you can call ahead if you wish. Shrimp lovers will find this place irresistable, and the prices are right.
