Fruitcake

[Lightkeeper]

It's that time of year again, Aunt Franny's fruitcake. We don't have the nerve to tell her the last ten bricks I mean cakes are still in the closet and we are going to use them for stepping stones in the garden. I have never met a fruitcake I like, have you? No bad jokes about your fruitcake friends.

We have a fruitcake that makes the rounds of the cousins. I haven't seen it in about ten years - not that I miss it

I really like fruitcake. I understand completely about the "storing" of the "bricks". We have enough to feed Africans.

Anyone here want some?

Honestly, I've never seen a fruitcake. Personally, I think it's a story used to scare kids into obedience!

Kind of like lutefisk.

Isn't a fruitcake also another word for a "nutcase"?

Kind of like lutefisk.

I fear that I have witnessed both of these phenomenon. I have successfully avoided eating the lutefisk, although it seems that Cedar Rapids is ripe with that near and present danger.

And yuppers, SoulType! There's a lovely phrase "nuttier than a fruitcake" that people can also use, should they feel the need.

You definitly aren't a fruit cake FIH. perhaps a sweet bun.

I LOVE fruitcake... all types.

I really love it when it you slip a nice thick piece in the microwave and heat it for 17 seconds. Take it out and pit a really BIG scoop of 'nilla Bryer's ice cream and sprinkle with pure powdered cinnamon! You should allow a few minutes to let the ice cream fully hydrate the fruit cake! Mwah!

I hope you didn't include you're address in your profile, NetDoc. You'd likely be innundated!

I've heard there is actually only a handful of extant fruitcakes; that they circulate endlessly through society.

 

[Green Gaia]

I might eat one little tiny piece of fruitcake, generally though I don't like much sweets anyway.

 

[SoulTYPE]

netDoc is cool. We can share some fruitcake.

nutcase? Fruityloop? Nutty? I have never received a fruitcake. And if I did, I might try it to see what it tastes like.

NetDoc...you add icecream to it takes the real taste of the Fruit cake. It's like adding salt to a bland meal...lol. I am going to be daring and eat it like it comes. Wish me luck...

There are truly only three food groups:

Fat
Sugar
Salt

If you food has one of these it will be palatable.
Any two, and you'll want seconds.
All three and WHOA, NELLY... THAT"S GREAT!!!
