In the spirit and joy of Christmastime baking, one of the funniest columns ever written was the 1983 classic by the NY Times' Russel Baker: "Fruitcake Is Forever!"

If you've never read it...it's my pleasure to acquaint you with his humor. If you've read it, and somehow, forgotten it..then enjoy again..

That fruit cake column was cute ;)...

I made fruit cake from scratch once.......ONCE
It was... ‘good’ ...but real expensive to make with all the candied and dried fruit and nuts. The recipe made a ton of it....tried to give some away - no luck....froze most of it eventually and threw it away after a week long power outage :)

I do dabble yearly in consuming fruit cake - it’s an interesting concoction. Bought one of those Claxton FC’s last week (just because) and doused it in Rum inside a ziplock bag to bring it to life :>)

....maybe I just like rum.....
