Round and Round It Goes 2

You’ve heard of the 30 Years War? Here’s 23 years of Fruitcake War.

Then there was the year that Joan brought the cake, still in its sealed box, to the local Star Market and asked the baker if he’d cover it with foil and frosting and disguise it as a Christmas cake. “They put a Santa Claus and a sleigh on it,’’ Joan said yesterday. When Jeanne cut into it at her open house, the knife nearly broke in pieces, everyone yelling, ‘Gotcha!’’’

Read the whole thing. It contains more than one smile.

    I read somewhere there are only 5 fruitcakes in the world. They’re just circulated over & over. Nasty things.

    Claxton fruitcakes actually are pretty good.

    You can further improve them by soaking them in Jack over night.

    I’ve had some home-made fruitcakes that were quite good.  And some that were truly awful.

    Back in the olden days, they were one of the few ways persons cold eat fruit in the winter.
