FRUIT CAKE!!!!!!
It's time to lighten things up around here! :D
Have you watched the show Survivor Man?
Have you noticed he always knows what's EDIBLE?
I've got my own way and that isss, if a Seagull won't touch it then neither will I!
McDonalds French Fries, Fruit Cake, Peas, Brussel Sprouts ect....
Anyway Fruit Cake is a necessary evil in our country and I ran across this story in the paper today.
HEADLINE; Were Sending Them Over There So We Don't Have To Eat Them Here.
When 88 yr. old Lucille Green of Willmington Delaware showed up at the Post Office to mail her home-made fruitcakes to friends and relatives, she was accused of being a terrorist.
"What kind of explosives do you have in here?"
asked a postal worker before shaking her box.
A BIG salute to that postal worker who was looking out for other people's welfare! :D

A really good one is already in the What's Cooking Archives. I messed with it a bit, and am really pleased with the results.

In the mail, our mail, today, at the post office I go to each day, was a box, a big box, inside it was not one, but two, you guessed it, two fancy tins, tins with a fruit cake, a different fruit cake, in each tin. How about that!? Ain't life great? :D

I MIGHT change my mind about fruitcake if I got one from the BEST bakery in Texas! :D
I'm afraid my Mother inlaw never worked there.
Relating to my post JC, you recieved C2 instead of C4

DShock, I was gonna answer with JERK!!!!! luckily I read your post first. ha ha
I loves fruitcake, My Mother-in-law makes lots of them around August. There are about 20 cakes in all. There is one for each family and kid. (9 kids in her family) She wraps them in cheeze cloth and soaks them with rum and orange brandy. Each month until the week before Christmas they are taken out and re-soaked It is a huge event when we finally get to try the new cakes for that year. It is one of those special treats that make Christmas so special in our house.

A good fruit cake is a thing of joy, a bad fruit cake is a thing of fear.

And until now I was under the impression that there were really only about 100 fruitcakes in total in the US. These 100 were supposed to be constantly gifted, re-gifted from person to person in an unending circle.

PS: GBF, that sounds like a GREAT recipe

Fruitcake + a dram of whiskey + a cup of good strong coffee =
