Ziva's eggnog
The big Christmas party was only hours away and Ziva was desperately trying to create the perfect eggnog.
Making eggnog itself was a premier for her, but Abby gladly had given her some advice along with a recipe. *(Traditional Eggnog Ingredients, 12 eggs, separated / 6 cups milk / 2 cups heavy- thickened cream / 2 cups bourbon / 1+ 1/2 cups sugar / 3/4 cup brandy / 2 teaspoons ground nutmeg )
The only problem was she managed to let the piece of paper drop into the snow. Now Abby's handwriting was barely readable.
Why hadn't she read the recipe before?
With a cup of tea she sat down at her kitchen table and wrote down the ingredients she could decipher.
The first number was clearly a one but the second could be a zero, or a three or a two…
She noted zero. Ten looked possible.
Time went by fast.
The eggnog was ready so was she and not much later Abby arrived first of her friends.
It usually was an amazing experience when Ziva cooked a nice dinner for her friends and this Christmas dinner would be just as perfect, judging by the smell of food, which dominated the rooms of her apartment.
The Goth took the offered glass with eggnog with a smile.
Abby sniffled at the glass and took a cautious sip.
As soon as the drink tickled her taste-spots, she couldn't help herself but split it back into the glass.
"Ziva?" The Israeli turned around to face Abby again.
"How did you, um, didn't you use the recipe I gave to you?"
She looked a bit uneasy. "I had to improvise a little." The former assassin sighed. "That bad?"
Abby cleared her throat. "Nah, it only burns a whole into a tongue."
…
What's the verdict?
