Fruitcake

Kirkland Traditional Fruitcake
I like fruitcake. I am the only one in my family who does. The girls think it is gross. The boys don't care because it isn't pizza or beer. But I like it, so when we were at Costco yesterday I picked one up. $16, which is kind of a chunk of money, but each fruitcake contains about a zillion calories, so each calorie costs 16,000 zillionths of a cent, which means it's like the cheapest food in the world. All you have to do is dole it out slowly. If you do it right, it could last a month.

Jezebel has an entertaining story about fruitcake. So does Catholic Vote (wait, what? Catholics vote for fruitcake?)

    I like fruitcake too. I just made my second batch last night. You may (or, more likely, may not) remember the recipe I posted on my now-defunct blog.

    (That link will probably get me sent to the spam filter. Oh, well. I've been there before. The food's not bad.)
