In Scotland, there is no such thing as bad weather - only the wrong clothes. - Billy Connolly
and the moral of the story...don't waste guid whisky on fruit cake! great rendition of a fine joke!
Had to steal that one to share with my family. Especially my father who loves his single malts!
That recipe reminds me of what Julia Childs once said, "I love cooking with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food"
haha. It took me a couple of "backwards" words to click to what was going on.
Thanks. Had to share that one with my father in law, who sends me a great fruitcake every year that I cherish until easter.
How is this any different from Irish fruitcake???
