Ready for TV, mylotting and bed. Creating memories.

Tweet

I have everything ready at home. I only have a skillet left that is still soaking in the sink. I have been doing my chores while I sip what the cousins in charge of the celebration for my aunt gave us. My aunt makes a delicious sort of eggnog. Only she doesn´t just make it for Christmas but has it all year. Many times I have thought about asking for the recipe but then I forget. One of my cousins in charge asked her for the recipe without telling her anything, bought a small bottle for each of the guests and printed a label saying that it was my aunt´s recipe. Then they made enough of that eggnog (cola de mono) and filled the small bottles with the printed label. It was brilliant! Not only do we have now my aunt´s drink when we come to visit her but we have the possibility of making it ourselves while we think of our aunt. I find that this is such a wonderful way of creating memories. I was very much moved when I received the bottle and read it. I have found here that some of you create memories that way like taking always the same thing for a Thanksgiving party. Do you do something like this? Do you have a special dish or drink that your family associates with you?
