Finally, I'm seeing patches of actual ground after more than two months of snow cover.

We are expecting dropping back down into the 30s for highs, at least we aren't seeing any more snow in the near future.

2 rounded tsp. allspice
2 rounded tsp. nutmeg
1 c. plus 3 tbsp. Guinness stout

Melt margarine and add sugar.
In a separate bowl, beat eggs and add to fruit and breadcrumbs.
Allow the sugar to dissolve in the margarine, but DO NOT BOIL.
Add all the fruit and the stout to melted margarine and sugar.
Combine the flour and spices, then add to the mixture and mix well.

Great picture (((Lady Jag))) :)
Very high winds gusting 55-60mph. Surprised that a strongly secured piece of fencing just blew out. Adding to the honey-do list for the weekend. ;)


We are back to early 30's as high soon too. Back to real cold evenings. I saw snow possible end of next week. We can enjoy a week of seeing the ground. ;)
