(Not On) The Christmas List - Fruitcake

Ah, the horror that is fruitcake. It's probably not fair for me to complain about a cake made of fruit, because I really don't like any desert made of fruit. I'd much rather have ice cream or plain old chocolate cake than a fancy preserved fruit laced ring of foam rubber that's best used as a door stop or cudgel. S and W makes a holiday, not a happy holiday...just a holiday.

The Grinch is Serving...

This year I thought I'd drop in on my Yuletide role model, the Grinch. Throughout December we'll be checking old Grincy-pooh's cupboard to see what the green fellow is serving his guests. And one thing's for sure, no Christmas banquet of doom is complete without an opening course of coffee and fruitcake! Yes, it sets the festive mood and gets that indigestion going early!
