You can buy epiphyllum cactus cuttings from a garden center or an online plant store.  Cactus cuttings are sections of a mature stem which are planted and used to grow a whole new plant.  If you already own an epiphyllum cactus that is strong and healthy, you can make your cuttings. Choose a healthy leaf of approximately 4 inches (10 cm) and cut it off at the stem below the base of the leaf. Repeat this process until you have obtained the desired number of cuttings. Good places include a garden shed, bathroom, or basement.  Because the epiphyllum cactus is a succulent plant, cuttings can remain good for up to a month.  Storing the cuttings will allow them to cure.  The purpose of curing the cuttings is to allow calluses to form over the ends of the cutting. The calluses protect the cuttings from rot. If you purchased the cuttings and don't know exactly when they were made, cure them for a week before planting. This will allow adequate room for the cactus to grow while the drainage hole will prevent over-watering.  Plastic pots are preferable to terracotta pots, as they will allow the soil to retain moisture for a longer period. Choose potting mix for epiphyllum cacti. This consists of three parts potting soil mixed with one part of coarse non-organic material such as perlite, which is also referred to as sponge rock. The non-organic material should be 1/8 to 1/2 inch (1/3 to 1 1/4 cm) in diameter. You can also add 1 to 1 1/2 tbsp. of orchid bark per pot. Alternatively, you can plant the cuttings in pure perlite. However, once the cuttings have developed roots, you will have to move them to the epiphyllum potting mix. The potting mix should always be damp, never wet.  This will ensure healthy and faster growth. If you water them too soon, the cuttings will rot.  To check for rot, tug gently on each cutting. If you feel any resistance, this is good because it means the cutting is rooting. You can water the cutting. If a cutting has rotted, take it out of the pot, cut away the rot, cure the cutting, and pot it again.

Summary: Obtain epiphyllum cactus cuttings. Store cuttings in a cool, dry place away from the sun for 10-14 days. Plant three cuttings in a 4-inch pot with a drainage hole in the center of the base. Refrain from watering the cuttings until they are well-rooted.


Crack each egg in half over a bowl and gently transfer the yolk from shell to shell, letting the white drop into the bowl. Transfer the remaining yolks to a separate medium mixing bowl.  It's a good idea to separate the whites from one egg into a small bowl and, if the separation is a success (no yolk gets in), pour the whites from that egg into the large bowl. Repeat this process for each egg to minimize the risk of adding unseparated yolks or shell fragments to the main mixing bowl. If you get yolk in the whites, save that egg for breakfast: whites will not whip when contaminated with egg yolk. Using an electric beater set on medium speed, beat the egg whites until they turn white and frothy. Add half the sugar and beat just until soft peaks begin to form.  You can technically use a whisk instead of an electric beater, but the process will take more time and energy. "Soft peaks" should just begin to hold their form when you remove the mixer, but they'll melt back into the whites after a second or two. Mix the remaining half of the sugar into the egg yolks in a separate bowl. Beat the mixture with a whisk until it is well blended. Gently fold the egg yolks into the beaten egg whites using a spatula, pouring slowly. The goal is to keep the fluffiness of the whites, which means you can stir too quickly or press too hard. Slowly pour the rum into the egg mixture, gently folding it in with your spatula. If you're serving the eggnog to children or prefer non-alcoholic eggnog, you can leave out the alcohol. Next, add the milk and half of the cream slowly to the bowl, gently stirring them in.  Start with 4 cups (1 L) of milk, then add more later to adjust the consistency. If you're adding alcohol, you may not need any more milk. Some cooks recommend heating the milk and cream before adding to the egg mixture to help thicken and slightly cook the eggs. If you're worried about eating raw eggs, follow this step. Taste the eggnog and decide whether to add more alcohol. For thicker eggnog, reduce the amount of milk by half. Beat the reserved half of the cream in another medium bowl until nearly stiff, then gently fold the whipped cream into the mixture. Transfer the finished eggnog to a large punch bowl for serving. Stiff peaks should be firm and should not collapse into themselves when you pull away the mixer. Grate or sprinkle some nutmeg on top for a pretty touch. You can safely save leftovers in a sealed dish in the refrigerator for a few days or up to one week.

Summary: Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Beat the egg whites and sugar. Mix the egg yolks with sugar. Combine the egg mixtures. Add the rum, milk and half of the cream. Whip the eggnog. Serve in clear glasses and top with whipped cream.


Sometimes jealousy can be a sign of a larger issue in your relationship. Ask yourself whether your husband wants you to spend less time with your friends just so that he can keep an eye on you and keep you away from your support network. Does he check up on you all the time? Does he try to limit your access to your family as well? These may be signs of attempts to control you and can be signs of an abusive spouse. If he continues to act in the same controlling manner, let him know that you are unwilling to tolerate the behavior. If it becomes necessary, you might need to tell him that you are considering leaving because you don’t feel safe and appreciated in the relationship. Excessive control is a marker of abuse in a relationship -- no one should have to tolerate it. Only he can stop being jealous and controlling. If he refuses to stop his behavior, leaving is often the only choice. It might spur him to get help and attempt to deal with his problem. If he does not deal with the problem, realize that you might need to leave him for good.
Summary: Consider whether your husband’s jealousy is about control. Talk to your husband about your concerns. Prepare to leave if he won’t change.
