An Eggnog Poem
If you see a fat man, who's jolly and cute, wearing a beard and a red flannel suit;
And if he is chuckling and laughing away, while flying around in a miniature sleigh;
With eight tiny reindeer to pull him along;
Then-let's face it-Your eggnog's too strong!!
|
Indulgent Eggnog Recipe
6 eggs
2 + ½ cups heavy whipping cream
2 cups whole milk
1 cup caster sugar
½ cup brandy
½ cup dark rum
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon nutmeg, ground or grated (fresh is best)
Begin with pre-chilled ingredients for the greatest end result.
In a medium bowl, beat the eggs together hard until they're very frothy.
Add sugar and continue beating.
Sprinkle in nutmeg and vanilla.
Continue beating.
A little at a time, add in the whipping cream, continuing to beat.
Again, only a little at a time, beat in the milk.
Finally, beat in the rum and brandy.
Give your arms a break from all that beating by putting the eggnog in the
fridge to chill for 1 - 2 hours.
Serve cold.

CACP Events on the Move......
Halifax Wrap
Up!!!
On November 15-18, 2009, the Third Canadian
National Voice Interoperability Workshop in Halifax welcomed over 220 delegates
- most were responders from across Canada, but there was also some
representatives for the US and Australia. The National Workshop was presented
under the auspices of the Canadian Interoperability Technology Interest Group
(CITIG) - an organization that brings together the CACP, the Canadian Police
Research Centre (CPRC), the Canadian Association of Fire Chiefs (CAFC), the
Emergency Medical Services Chiefs of Canada (EMSCC) and other key partners to
help advance public safety interoperability. Adjunct to the workshop were two
related meetings: one for work on the Canadian Interoperability Communications
Plan (CCIP) and another focussed on National Data Quality Standards, an
initiative lead by members of the Interoperability Sub-Committee of the CACP
Informatics Committee. Significant progress was made on many fronts (see the
CACP Web site under previous conferences for detailed presentations) including:
- version 3.0 of the
CCIP, and a
long list of activities and accomplishments;
- draft action plans for building provincial
communications interoperability plans by province/territory;
- a way forward to
advance National Data Quality Standards;
-
a strong, shared dedication to move the issue of communications
interoperability at the forefront and energize the leadership to make this
initiative a priority.
The date has been set for
the fourth national workshop (which will be renamed the Canadian National
Public Safety Interoperability Workshop) - we hope you can join us from
December 5 to 8, 2010 in Victoria,
British Columbia.
