So said I
9. Did someone mention fruitcake? Granted, it's loaded with the mandatory celebratory calories, but avoid it at all cost. I mean, have some standards.
8. ......if you don't like mincemeat,
I'd agree, and swore by these two Christmas advisories until I met girl that changed my mind.
w.r.t. fruitcake, she started marinating dried fruit (not a candied one in the bunch) with black pepper in a 40 ouncer of dark rum round about September. The baking commenceed in October after which the the ounce per week drizzle began. It was the only cake that failed you a roadside breath-a-lizer.
w.r.t the mincemeat, it began with a 3 pound pot roast boiling all day which was added to all manner of sweet spicey things.
There was this grey boiled wheat and poppy seed thing too, but I think I'll stop now.
