The following may be sung to Ode to Joy
Fruitcake, puddings, and plum pudding
Smothered deep in mother’s sauce;
Shortbread, pie crust brimming over
Not a salad will we toss.
Christmas season comes with sugar
Measured, melted, caramelized,
Sprinkled, coloured, layered, blended,
In our cookies and our pies.

Monsignor,
I handed in my final marks yesterday for the
courses I was in charge of. So it's baking time

ingredients. When I came out of the supermarket I could not find my
bicycle anywhere. I looked and looked but
You'll
love the recipe, Vera

was just getting colder.
Fortunately my bottle of Teachers was in the bag so I took a nip to warm
myself up. Next thing I know I was sitting at home in front of the
fireplace with a cup of black coffee. Dr. Sofie N'Twinkie was on at me for
being an embarrassment etc. I have no idea what she was on about. We
finished a convivial evening doing the baking together. She's passed out
in front of the fire now.
It’s
impossible to age a fruitcake too long, say those in the know. If stored
in an airtight container and basted occasionally with liquor, it’ll
keep indefinitely... Then again, the same could have been said
of Admiral Nelson!
