I loved my grandmother's fruitcake and I think I like some from a bakery in Texas, Corsicana I think. I've never had fruitcake with alcohol though.
It's my new bedtime, so I'm off.
Kaylee: Can I? Zoe: Sure. He's out, though. Kaylee: He did this for me, once.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I liked ita's mother's fruitcake, but it didn't like me.

A really good fruitcake is like Anne's. Moist and crumbly, more fruit than cake and booze soaked but not overwhelmingly booze flavored. My mother's was like that, sigh. I've never tried making fruitcake for fear it would be one of those inedible dry blocks mentioned upthread. Ugh.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's the place I linked to, above.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Hey Sail - have you ever tried the fruitcakes at Nature's Bakery? I worked there for a year, and we ended up with a whole bunck of extra fruitcakes. They were so nummy! i think I had a fruitcake every couple of days for a month or so....

No, I may have to search them out, though, if they're that good. The real problem is finding the good ones. References help!
eta: Oooh, they're part of the Willy St. Co-op. Next time I'm over at my dad's I'll swing by and check it out.

The frozen top tier of my wedding cake was good the next year. 'Course, still being silly and going "Gosh, we're married! We're having an anniversary, just like grown-ups!" might have had something to do with it.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I'm so glad that the fruitcakes were appreciated! I've only been making them for a few years, but they're already an important part of my Christmas.
ita will be glad to know that the rum in said fruitcake must be Goslings. None other will do.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Jimmy Smits isn't goodlooking.
He is damned hot, though. I wonder how he does that.
It's the Malkovich factor.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I think I've mentioned before-- I'm baking my grandmother's recipe. Her tradition was to age it for a year, adding 1/4 cup of brandy to the cake every month.
