Blessed Fruitcake
In keeping with a theme, allow me to share the following from Harry and David's.
"2 ¾-lb. Fruit Cake Confection
Celebrating 60 years of pure gold! We still believe the first word in "fruitcake" ought to be "fruit."
It's true: Harry's original 1947 recipe is such a well-guarded secret, it's kept under lock and key; no single person has access to the entire recipe. The ingredients are so delicate, the batches so small, each confection is individually formed by hand. If you've ever tasted one though, you know that our Fruit Cake Confection is loaded with plenty of premium whole cherries, sweet golden pineapple, crisp English walnuts and Southern pecans – no rum, no rinds, no yucky green things. Then the fruit's gently folded with just enough light golden batter to hold it all together for easy slicing. Arrives ready to serve and enjoy. 2 -Pound Fruit Cake Confection

I mean seriously. I'd chew through walls to get at that thing. I stole someone else's phrasing on that, can't take credit.
Mmmmmm.....

Where's the fookin chocolate?!
So when you mean "allow me to share" I should expect a package in the mail from you? Soon?
Franki - please do enjoy your H&D confection with hot chocolate. If you're lucky enough to be within 30 feet of one of these monsters.
Suze - Um... ok... yes. And if it doesn't arrive call H&D to complain. They'll send one right out.
Then call me. I'll be right out, too.
Fruitcake really is the best of all nutritional worlds: fruit, cake and bourbon.
Sometimes I go wild and have my bourbon without the fruitcake.
Eat through cake walls or stucco ones? I would just find the door and walk through stucco ones, but I'm old-fashioned that way.
Goofy,
I bet Snow White stands out in Atlanta. I have no problem with you dating a black guy, I'm serious.
I can't believe you would post a recipe for fruit cake. That stuff is nasty and anyone who has a recipe for fruit cake is nasty.
Those dwarfs are crazy.
not just used for perverted witticisms anymore!
i feel like you made it dirty by making it legit. please make it right before i go to sleep tonight.
twss
ps. your princess bride knowledge is topped by no other. then, why am I smiling? because I know something you do not know.
Bashful - 1. Don't insult someone on their own blog. 2. See rule #1. I shall expect an apology forthwith. And posthaste.
PPIEW - We are bloggers of honor. Lies do not become us. (Fixst, BTW. No longer legit. Sleep well.)
Good night, AD. Good work. Sleep well. I'll most likely kill you in the morning
Bwahahahahaha!! You win. That was perfect.
Perfect. Hence the name! I get it!
Snow,
I was going to apologize before you suggested it. Franki is very intimidating.
I still can't believe you like fruit cake. I feel my cheerios starting to work their way up.
I apologize.
bashful is a crocodile in rabbit fur. his apology should be taken with a spoonful of fruitcake.
Harry & David's makes even fruit cake look good. Why must the holidays be laden with tempting high calorie sugary sweets? I have no willpower against them!
i'm not the least bit competitive, so it's like i don't even notice I WON!!!!!
You've got an overdeveloped sense of vengeance. It's going to get you into trouble someday
P@D - sorry I forgot you earlier. It's not because you're not special, baby! C'mon, Ike loves you, baby!
Franki - OK... done. Mmmm Stollen.
Bashful - Thanks. I will enjoy my fruitcake without you, then, especially if you're likely to spew breakfast cereal.
SRU - I hear you, but you do not get sympathy from me Ms. Newly Engaged, In Love, and Skinny. And I say that without the slightest hint of bitterness.
PPIEW - Aaaaaaaaaasssssssss Yyyoooooooooooouuuuuuuuu WWWWwiiiiiiiiiiiiissssssshhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
