Great writing Tru!

I was winded from your account!
I love the pic of the feather but love the quilt more!
It's beautiful! Did your Mamma or granny make it?
I have some thatmy Granny made years ago. Most are so worn I just leave them packed away!

From Wikipedia in Spanish:

Rompope
De Wikipedia, la enciclopedia libre
 
Licor de huevo. El rompope es un licor preparado con yemas de huevo de gallina, vainilla, canela, almendra molida, leche de vaca, azĂșcar y alcohol. Es de color amarillo y consistencia espesa.

http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rompope

Translation:
Liquor made from egg. The rompope is a liquor made with egg yolk, vainilla, cinamon, grounded almonds, milk, sugar and alcohol. It is yellow and thick.

Pd. The text below says it was originally made by some monks in Puebla, Mexico. It's a mexican liquor. I've never tried in my life.

Friend, I found that quilt in a dumpster! About 15 years ago I was taking the trash off and there it was, heartbreaking because it had been sewn by hand and a lot of work went in to it. It was worn, and thrown out with the garbage. I took it home and hosed it off, it wouldn't survive the washing machine and it has been hanging on the wall ever since, collecting dust.

I thnk this much have been made from the non-alcoholic variety, like they do the pina colada, or else it would not freeze, and I didn't get a buzz......

Something else to ad to the list, try some real Rompope!

To me it sounds like eggnog. A custard is thicker than that, IMO.
