That brought back some memories of how I used to cook in college.

Re: BEST FRUIT CAKE EVER
It actually IS a classic. The first time I saw it, the interwebs weren't really available to most folks yet, and it was on a photocopied sheet being passed around the office.joe817 wrote:![]()

Re: BEST FRUIT CAKE EVER
I copied the recipe and sent it to my wife. Of course I will volunteer to be the cook.

Sounds like a great receipe, but maybe a little hard to duplicate exactly.
I would not hang around too long waiting for Bobby Flay to show up for a 'Throwdown' though, I don't think this would translate to something a New Yorker would understand.

If the 2nd admendment only applies to muskets and muzzle-loaders, then the 1st admentment must apply only to the spoken or printed word. Printing must be done on hand presses, news stories must be written in longhand, no keyboards or electric processes may be used.
