I detest fruitcakes made with regular candied fruit.Mrs.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392321745556290343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38583012.post-16917109348394950812017-12-15T06:58:38.275-05:002017-12-15T06:58:38.275-05:00Fruit cake is very Christmassy but the one dessert...Fruit cake is very Christmassy but the one dessert I will not make.

Plenty more to do, and I have more kitchen gifts like granola and hot chocolate mix that I plan to do. I absolutely relate to your "energy of a slug" comparison, for I feel the same way. Think I'll plan to bake during Tuesday's big storm when I won't be going anywhere!Mrs.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392321745556290343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38583012.post-42624070879541609992017-12-04T07:36:10.968-05:002017-12-04T07:36:10.968-05:00Oh I can think of a lot of recipes affected by new...Oh I can think of a lot of recipes affected by new packaging! My mother’s brown bread recipe for baked bean night is another one that doesn’t work so well in a tin anymore. And what about all the recipes requiring a cake mix, yet now they’ve reduced the amount of mix in each box. Little loaf tins will solve the fruitcake in a tomato tin, but it’s going to take a chemist to figure out those other ones. <br /><br />Happy Baking, Mrs. T. I have been wanting to bake, but have the energy of a slug by day’s end. 😴 Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.com
