Ate the Colin Street Bakery fruitcake for many years until I went lo carb / high fat. Lots and lots of carbs in fruitcakes. Colin Street makes a very good cake. Cheers –

We swear by the Collins St. fruitcakes out of Corsicana.

I tried a fancy one from the Zingerman’s catalog one year, but it was expensive and disappointing. Normally I love Zingerman’s.

There’s only one fruitcake passed around for eternity!

@ Ray Van Dune > “Ostensibly an objective treatment of the Trump phenomenon, it avoids a number of truths that are taboo among Democrats:”

The Politico piece does (or doesn’t do) exactly as you said, but it shouldn’t be dismissed lightly. The panel conceded most of Trump’s advantages this time around, although they were not happy that he was going into office much better prepared than in 2016.

Wise Democrats would pay attention and plug the holes in their fortifications, and wise Republicans would pay attention to what the Democrats are doing.

Neo,

My standard poodle is no longer with us, sadly – my wife & I differ on his destination in the afterlife. He was my buddy, my wife hated the beast. He was indestructible: besides the fruitcake, he ate an entire bag of Dove chocolates, foil & all (toxic to dogs); a bag of macadamia nuts (poisonous in dogs); half of a pan of red sauce -simmering on the stove -, busted when he showed up with a red muzzle; a bunch of grapes (also poisonous). I could go on; never turned a hair… I do miss him though, naughty as he was…

Well he wouldn’t be that far wrong…especially when there’s a fruit cake in sight…even if I really shouldn’t indulge at this stage of the game…

(But in any case, coming from him, I would have considered it a term of endearment…)

I came here to see why so many comments about fruitcake, and for one horrified moment I thought Miguel had called Barry a “bug eyed freak.” But no, he means Adam Schiff, and who can disagree? 🙂
