Re: The more-important-than-the-really-important-poll poll...

HELLO. This about FRUITCAKE, not about you guys and your silly competition!

I have never had store bought fruitcake. My mother used to make a Welsh fruitcake called Bara Brethe (or something like that, I'm too lazy to pick up the recipe book). It was good, but dry. I don't think fruitcake is supposed to be dry. I won't make it because I can't find the red and green cherries that are supposed to be in it.

I remember that everyone who was in the house when it was being made was invited to take a stir - supposed to bring you good luck in the coming year. Maybe that's my problem, no good luck because I don't make the Bara Brethe anymore.

Gee, Eris! Did you hear Lynn's caveman talk? And you'd think that she would have noticed that we're not "guys". After all, we do have such cute girly butts!

Friends don't let friends give Luteflusk or liskfish or whatever that repulsive fish with poison is. Wormie - who perhaps should not have poured that last glass of wine.

I've never been into fudge much - too sugary, but hot fudge on vanilla ice cream with a sprinkle of peanuts - now I could go for that!
