   >GALA EGGNOG FOR CHRISTMAS DAY: 24 portions, enough for 4 eggnog-lovers.

   >Beat 8 whole eggs and 10 egg yolks with 2 cups of sugar until the mixture   
   >is very fluffy and thick and pale.  It should fall off a wooden spoon in   
   >flat folds instead of pouring.  When this thickness is achieved, beat in   
   >a fifth of brandy.  Strain the mixture and chill it overnight.   
   >   
   >Whip 1 quart plus 1 cup light cream (or 2 cups milk mixed with 3 cups   
   >heavy cream) just enough to aerate it, then beat in the egg mixture.   
   >Still beating, pour in 1 1/2 cups of milk, 1 cup of 151 proof dark rum,   
   >and 2 cups of golden rum.   
   >   
   >Beat 2 cups of heavy cream until it forms limp, slouchy peaks, and gently   
   >stir it in.   
   >   
   >Pour the eggnog into a punchbowl and sprinkle the surface with cognac   
   >until it is well-pocked.  Have the nutmeg grater near, and a platter   
   >of cookies close by.
