Fruitcake.

.

I am a creature of habit and, like most humans, enjoy certain rituals.

I am not pagan but enjoy Halloween, Easter and New Year.

I am (distantly) Irish and enjoy St Patrick's Day. Especially the Guinness.

I am (sort of) Scottish and enjoy Burns Night.

I am not Christian (in the paid up member sense) but enjoy Christmas.

At the moment the house smells of fruitcake.

And it is good.

  4. Chop wood, carry water.
    Eat when you are hungry,
    Sleep when you are tired.

    Slainte, Lee!

  6. Your fruitcake looks lovely, ours is mostly awful, but on the other hand ours is full of walnuts and pecans- and I'm allergic to both.
    How about I make chocolate chip cookies?
    Happy Holidays from the beginning to the end ♥

  7. Fruitcake smells are indeed wonderful ... not so wonderful the smells that permeate the athmosphere after the cake has been consumed .... Sorry to lower the tone ...

  11. I am not Irish but call myself Irish for the sake of Guinness.

  12. I like holidays too. It doesn't matter that they aren't mine; it's a party.

    We've a Jew in the family; she's up for a party around Dec. 25 as much as anyone. Oddly, she is perhaps the only one around who actually believes in God.

  13. Fruitcake is not my favourite - unless it's moist Christmas cake with lots of whisky in it as my mum used to make...

  14. mmmmm, I love fruitcake!

    it has a terrible reputation here, most likely because people insist on buying it instead of making it.

    wonder if I can find my mom's old recipe...
