Here we are, one day early, dishing out some fun links for our weekly edition of Meanderings. Enjoy!

They were a combination of dreck and dry and sugar.
I love fruitcake and have for my whole life. I used to help my mom make small loaves that she wrapped and gave to the neighbors. A slice with cream cheese is wonderful to me. Unfortunately all the people who ever made them for me or had them sent to us have passed away. We used to get Harry and David’s fruitcake from my uncle. It was mostly fruit. We looked forward to it. This post makes me think I should search out a fruitcake recipe.
Ugh. Not a fan of fruitcake! But my mom, who lives with us, looks forward to one her niece's husband makes and sends to her every year! Let's just say, I'm glad she doesn't share.
I hated fruit cake as a child but happily ate the icing. It's still a common Christmas staple in Ireland. I now make one and gift one and have grown to love it. There is definitely nostalgia attached to it, I love the process of buying the ingredients, steeping the fruit in alcohol and making it months ahead of time. Long live the fruit cake!!

I can’t remember if I ever ate a fruitcake, but I might have lived with one or been one myself. Merry Christmas Scot!
Love fruitcake!
