Oh you did put beans in it? Sounds everything like a cassoulet should be.
Yes nater that's what we ate before the RHCP concert.
Here's how I made mine:
Took a dutch oven and cooked some salted pork cut into cubes until they were crispy then removed them. Then I took a whole chicken and quartered it. Browned the chicken in the pork fat then removed it. Then I took some andoulie sausage and browned that in the pork/chicken fat and then removed it. Then I sauteed some carrots, shallots, beets and garlic in the pork/chicken/sausage fat until softened. Then added some white beans and chicken stock. Brought that to a boil and then reduced to a simmer. Threw in some tomato paste and a bouquet garni of thyme, rosemary and parsley and then the rest of the meat back in the pot. Threw it in the oven on a low temp for a couple of hours. So good, and it was even better as leftovers the next day. I want to try it again but with duck.

People who don't want to drink eggs obviously don't want to drink egg nog. That vegan smoothie can go sit in the corner.

I love Eggnog, but I am trying to eat healthy. I have been on a green smoothie kick since summer, and that it is how I came across this recipe. Worst case it is like a Banana smoothie with holiday spices.

Frozen bananas definitely have a different taste than regular bananas. I hate bananas but used to wolf down the frozen banana "ice cream" my hippie dad made for me. I bet it'll be yum!
Also, I have now used the word "banana" too much and it no longer makes sense. It's a pretty goofy word anyways.

I made my own Irish cream last night at the end of my "I hate Christmas shopping so will just make all of my stupid presents so that even if people don't like 'em they can't say anything" time in the kitchen. Let me tell you, that shit is super easy to make and mucho delicious. Also like, 1000 calories an ounce.

I didn't use frozen bananas. So, it is a little warm after running through my Vitamix. I also accidentally added too much cloves. It tastes pretty close to most eggnog I've tasted though. I approve.
Edit: I'm pretty sure it is the spices that give it the flavor anyway, not the eggs.

Just the thought of eggs and SoCo together in my stomach makes it turn into a knot.
