Egg Nog
direct quote from the book:
"If yore hens is layin' good an' you got plenty of eggs, an' th' cows ain't dry, here's a real good recipe"
5 Eggs
6 Cups Milk
1/4 Cup Sugar
1/4 tsp. Salt
2 tsp. Vanilla
Nutmeg
Beat the whites of the eggs to soft peaks. Add the yolks of the eggs and beat again. Add Sugar, Milk and Vanilla in that order slowly, and beat well. Sprinkle with nutmeg for taste. Makes about 15 servings.

reading this book provides a good laugh, it's complete with hillbilly sayings, superstitions, "wisdom", and various other things at the bottom of the page, such as: "A dirty sock worn 'round th' neck on goin' to bed will cure a sore throat; Don't sleep in th' moonlight. This may cause yuh to go crazy; To cure chicken pox--after th' sun goes down, go to th' chicken house an' let a black hen fly over you." etc. etc.
