Fruitcakes On The Bus FRIDAY@ the MSC
Good morning BN. I like fruitcake. It is similar to my mom's steamed pudding. There isn't much of holiday sweets I'll pass up. What's your holiday treat?
If I wasn't fishing in this all day rain,I'd be home doing something stupid.

Good Morning Bill........BN'ers!!
No Bus ride for me today!
Holiday Treats?? OMG.....I don't turn down much either.....but I'm not hell bent on anything in particular. I'd say my #1 holiday treat (please don't judge
) is sipping Irish Cream.
Sipping,
Hoping for a productive weekend. Can't be scrambling around last minute for the holidays this year. (yeah, right)

Morning BNers
Haven't been to bed yet. Got a lot going on. Hoping things turn around soon.
If anyone has some extra pixie dust or whatever, we could use it.

Good almost afternoon. It's supposed to rain today but so far we're having a pretty nice day, the sun's shining and it's about 60 degrees.
I have to make a quick supermarket run. Doofus that I am, I went grocery shopping the other day and forgot to buy milk. How am I supposed to have my corn flakes tomorrow if I don't have milk?![noeyedear-shrugging [smilie=noeyedear-shrugging.gif]](./images/smilies/noeyedear-shrugging.gif)

I had corn flakes with beer in my younger days. I prefer milk. And I like fruitcake with milk.
Molly, hope all is well.

Re: Fruitcakes On The Bus FRIDAY@ the MSC
My favourite Christmas treat when I was a kid were fruit mince pies. Not any fruit mince pies, mind you.
The "old lady across the road", Miss Graham, was a miracle worker with baked goods. Every Christmas she would make all of the traditional things, steamed puddings, Christmas cakes so dense and packed with brandy soaked fruit you'd get a hangover, rum balls, etc. Her fruit mince pies were something else, I can still taste the cinnamonny, clovey, spicy, fruity goodness.
She passed away when I was 10 or 12 years old. I have searched the planet for mince pies since then, but nothing comes close.
Can I implore you that if you have a relative or friend who cooks or makes something special like that, get them to teach you how it is done before, we as a species, lose the knowledge!!!!!

I drink milk with all my meals, unless I go out to eat, so it isn't just my corn flakes.nycfeat wrote: ↑December 6, 2019 12:45 pmCorn flakes without milk isn't too bad.LIPH wrote: ↑December 6, 2019 11:58 am Good almost afternoon.

Ah. Milk in liquid form doesn't do my stomach any favors.

Re: Fruitcakes On The Bus FRIDAY@ the MSC
My mom was a fantastic baker. As a newly married idiot, I critiqued my wife's pie to be as good as mom's. Mom made me a mince pie for for my birthday for years.Rabbitz wrote: ↑December 6, 2019 2:38 pm My favourite Christmas treat when I was a kid were fruit mince pies. Not any fruit mince pies, mind you.

Re: Fruitcakes On The Bus FRIDAY@ the MSC
I have never liked milk. I used to gag it down to appease my Mother but I hated it. I have consumed hot cocoa but I don't remember the last time I drank plain milk.nycfeat wrote: ↑December 6, 2019 4:04 pmAh. Milk in liquid form doesn't do my stomach any favors.

Milk is not really healthy for adults. Unless low-fat

Re: Fruitcakes On The Bus FRIDAY@ the MSC
We were slamming at the flower shop again today.
I like fruitcake too, and Bryan likes mince pie too! I haven't made him one for ages. I make several flavors of chocolate truffles, buckeyes, iced sugar cookies, peanut brittle, toffee, kiss cookies, pecan diamonds, magic cookie bars, orange pecan cookies, melting moments and lots of other Christmas treats...not all of these every year, but I rotate. I also make 2 kinds of cheeseballs. I have drastically shortened my list for this year! I'm exhausted just thinking about getting it all done. ❄

Re: Fruitcakes On The Bus FRIDAY@ the MSC
I love Christmas cookies, especially gingerbread. Maybe this year I will make them from scratch again. I have my mom's Betty Crocker cookbook and that has the best recipes in it.
Molly, I hope all is well with you and yours. Thinking of you.

Hi there! I worked our holiday lights tonight for 3 hours. 198 cars drove through the 20 acre display. I have a glass of wine now. Life is good.
