    Or you could poke holes in the finished caked, pour whiskey over the top, pack it nicely, send it to someone you really don’t like very much, and finish the whiskey until the package is sent back to you as something “homemade from the kitchen of…” ie the person you sent it to.

    My grandmother used to make good fruitcake. I saw something in the store once, a kind of rectangular fruitcake log or something, that was very light in color and didn’t even resemble any fruitcake that I’ve ever seen.

    Maybe I’ll check out the monks. They’re supposed to make good fruitcake.

    My mom actually made fabulous fruit cake. Lots of brandy in it and aged for several months in our basement pantry. I have her recipe, so one year I was going to make it. By the time I got all the ingredients in the cart and mentally added up the total, I put it all back since I couldn’t afford to make it. I could afford the brandy, so I settled for that. hic

    Even though I suspected where this was going, practically from the headline, it didn’t make it any less funny. You just keep on posting the best stuff, BoB.

    This brought to mind the classic Henry Morgan routine, Twelve Bottles (link should cue to 3:58).
