December

[ruxquiero]

So, it's December 1st. I've already done a lot of planning in order to avoid the winter blues. It's almost inevitable that winter hits me hard, but this year I've tried to take a look at the things that sap me of energy and counteract them as best I can

Y'know, Alton Brown has a fruitcake recipe (probably on foodtv.com somewhere) that looks pretty good. He strips out all the nasty candied junk, too -- he uses dried real fruits and nuts. I keep meaning to try making it, 'cause I hate fruitcake, but his looks kinda good.

I have to check that out! I was just going to take a poundcake, marinate/add stuff and soak it, but maybe trying a recipe that's already been tested would be less.... potentially surprising in a wasteful way. :-) Hahaha--

I have a cookbook I bought and use myself called "The Sugar Solution". I use the Irish Soda Bread recipe all the time. (Your talking about pound cake made me think of it!) You should email me your mailing address so I can send you a recipe. :) *hug*
