Fruitcake Recipe
1 cup water
1 cup sugar
4 large eggs
2 cups dried fruit
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup brown sugar
lemon juice
nuts
1 gallon whiskey

Sample the whiskey to check for quality. Take a large bowl.
Check the whiskey again to be sure it is of the highest quality.
Pour one level cup and drink. Repeat.

Turn on the electric mixer; beat 1 cup butter in a large, fluffy
bowl. Add 1 teaspoon sugar and beat again.

Make sure the whiskey is still OK. Cry another tup.

Turn off mixer. Break 2 legs and add to the bowl and chuck in the
cup of dried fruit. Mix on the turner. If the fried druit gets
stuck in the beaterers, pry it loose with a drewscriver.

Sample the whiskey to check for tonsisticity. Next, sift 2 cups
of salt. Or something. Who cares? Check the whiskey.

Now sift the lemon juice and strain your nuts. Add one table.
Spoon. Of sugar or something. Whatever you can find. Check the
whiskey... repeat...

Grease the oven. Turn the cake tin to 350 degrees. Don't forget
to beat off the turner. Throw the bowl out the window.

Check the whiskey again.

Go to bed. Take the rest of the whiskey with you. Who the hell likes
fruitcake anyway?

my wish...
as the year creeps to an end and we are clustered by holidays during this season, i think of everyone i know -- friends, acquaintances, family, etc. -- and i am thankful for every last one of you being in my life in some capacity- even unknowingly as a mentor or an inspiration to me. i know this hasnt been the greatest of years for everyone, but i hope it has improved somewhat as it draws to a close. i also am hopeful for good things to come in the following year for everyone, no matter how small. so i wish you all to find some joy and peace, and may the next year be even brighter for you all...
