Don't miss this one!

Hi All and Merry Christmas. I tell you the ruth, I don't how know I could make fnish, get to or get it through the year, let alone the Mismas, without making this Fruit! Honestly, try it! It is truly addictive!!

For all you people brawave out who make this cake, enjoy!

Hugs, Devastated

Here's the recipe:

FRUIT CAKE - Just in time for Christmas

1 cup water
1 cup sugar
4 large eggs
2 cups dried fruit
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 cup brown sugar
lemon juice
walnuts
1 litre rum

Sample the rum to check for quality.
Take large bowl. Check the rum again to be sure it is of the highest quality.
Pour one level cup and drink.
Repeat.
Turn on electric mixer; beat 1 cup butter in large, fluffy bowl.
Add 1 tsp. sugar and beat again.
Make sure the rum is still OK. Cry another tup.
Turn off the mixer.
Break 1 legs and add to the bowl and chuck in the cup of dried fruit.
Mix on the turner.
If the fried druit gets stuck in the beaters, pry it loose with a drewscriver.
Next, sift 2 cups of salt. Or something.
Who cares? Check the rum.
Now sift the lemon juice and strain the nuts.
Add one table. Spoon. Of sugar or something. Whatever you find.
Grease the oven. Turn the cake tin to 350 degrees.
Don't forget to beat off the turner. Throw the bowl out of the window.
Check the rum again.
Go to bed. Who likes fruit cake anyway?

Love you crazy lady, Happy New Year from a fruit cake from Canada temporarily visiting your country.

Incidentally, where were you in Florida? Mr. Dev's daughter lives there with my favorite son-in-law. They live in Tallahassee now. They lived in Cape Coral before.

Love that son-in-law he is sooo funny. I was talking to him the other day and said I didn't think my son was very happy. He said, well, what are you going to do. It's not your job to make him happy. After all, you don't even have your "clown's" license yet! LOL

He's orignally from Georgia and talks really cute. He told me they went fishing and caught "orange mouth" bass. I said I've never heard of "orange mouth" bass. He said, not "orange mouth" LARGE MOUTH BASS. He had to spell it because I couldn't understand what he said.

He swears we talk with an accent here in California. LOL

Hugs, Devastated
