I have an easy fruitcake recipe that I plan to make today. It’s really more of a quick bread with candied fruit in it. It’s low fat so maybe I can enjoy a slice. I
 
I’ve lost almost 20 pounds since the evil gallbladder took over my life. That’s the up side of not eating fat.
 
Fat is OK in moderation ... but what do we do when overwhelmed by extremist PRO visions ... de rift off on a rapture? Can you conceive of such moves ...

Incomprehensible? Only with those with circular minds that are closed ... thus Ceil Din? Skye domain ... Ayre ... some say it's hairy ... other' Sarah ...
 
We got a noreaster storm going on- talk was about up to 30 cm, I removed 10 this morning, but temps are around 0, so the danger is more of ice and bad travel condition.
I had a good time last night, went to myKorean neighbours and had supper with them and played games after. Cadoo for kids and a game requiring telling stories that are either true or false- besides the fun, the intention was to practice every day english with the mother, who’s english I feel has not really much improved in the past year.
 
Today will be a quiet day. I was exhausted after a fairly busy day yesterday. Well not so busy. It started with fasting bloodwork. I was going to get a breakfast bagel from the coffee shop next door. The woman in front of me bought the last one. :( So, I had avocado toast, which while good, didn't have protein. I got my injections then went and did my laundry. I picked up some protein on my way home. It helped a bit. A fasting start to the day set me off kilter for the rest of the day. I suspect the injections were also part of how I felt.

Today will be recovery. A book to finish. A knitting project to work on. Some tidying up.
 
I grew up with marzipan on the Christmas cakes my Nana made. She died when I was eleven and from then on we had store made cakes. My mum bought some marzipan from the bakery and it was my job to get it on the cake. Didn't have home made cake again until I started making them as an adult. Yes, they got marzipan and it was traded around between the kids as some of them didn't like it.

(Note: no need to mention one's antipathy to fruitcake; we are well aware of it. Just don't eat any. Problem solved.)

Just for the record, my objection to fruitcake is entirely a joke. I don't care if you like fruitcake and I don't think less of you. Not really. I wish I liked more different foods. Fruitcake is just funny. It's one of those rules of humour that I can't adequately explain, except to say that fruitcake is funny and I will fight anyone who says differently.

Think it's funny that people speak of it as a dessert - when really it's just an alcohol delivery system

I have never actually eaten a fruitcake with rum or other booze in it. My mother didn't use any. The odd ones I've had since didn't have any. Yes, some people do put alcohol in, but it's hardly an "alcohol delivery system". It's a dessert that can occasionally contain alcohol.
 
Good morning! As we think of the people of Magdeburg, of fruitcake recipes and marzipan (!) of weather and alcohol delivery system, and all the other things that will appear this Fourth Sunday of Advent, let us gather in spirit round the Coffee Cart, for conversation and mutual support, as well as coffee, tea, hot chocolate and baked goodies, squares and cookies, and fruitcake (today with marzipan.). All is ready, everyone welcome. Come in and join the fun!

Okay... well, if it's not an alcohol delivery system, then what is it a delivery system of? We can safely rule out taste :D So what else is it? Why do people eat fruitcake - as a delivery system of tradition? There are better ways to get vitamins and fiber

Fruitcake is a state of mind about something that descended from the God of the wisdom tree ... folly? Like moss's it can grow on yah ...

Then there are powers that hate psyche of blossoming nature as theirs may be seized by the empreor's comment ... carpediem and the fishing goes on for what we don't know even tho' we don't perhaps know that we are unaware, not astute, or perhaps entangled in that WOKE article ...

Comprehensive summa? What's a summa? There's another challenge for those that wish not any knowledge, information or other stray information!

Dead heads ... they sometime act as anchoring points and buoys ... for things that drift around on night Ares ... itches?

Some people (including myself) actually like the taste of it. This is shocking. I know, but true.

I love fruitcake but have never found one I like as much as my mother's, probably because I haven't had any homemade in the thirty years since she passed away. Store bought is pretty variable.
