I'm trying to figure out how to store it. It's too big for the commercial fruitcake tins I have sitting around. I've got the cheesecloth to wrap it in and plenty o' bourbon to keep it moist as it ages. The beauty of this recipe (at least to me) is that it uses dried fruit, none of the candied fruit at all.

Interesting with only dried fruit.  I'm curious how you will end up storing it.  How often do you need to add the brandy?  Of course you must let me know how it comes out. 

It's whiskey and I think I'll be adding it as often as I think it needs it to stay moist. Probably check on it every other week or so.

Sorry, right you said bourbon.  What did you decide to store it in besides cheesecloth?

I haven't yet. That cake could sit out by itself for a month and be OK. But with the whiskey added, the situation gets worse. I may have a cake carrier I could use to store it in.

Ten!

Great pix today, MBarnum.

Be sure to line it with something or you will have bourbon stains

It's plastic. It's like a big old Tupperware. I just don't know how airtight it is. Have to find it first, too.

[Jane]

How airtight are the fruitcake tins?

A glazed Krispy Kreme doughnut, split open and stuffed with savory sloppy joe, doused in a tomato-based sauce, and sprinkled with cheese.
Just because.   This is real, people!   

I think the burning question that's on all of our minds is: 

Would DR ChasSmith, or wouldn't he, try this?

HELL yes.

Well, I mean, once, anyway.

No, the burning question is WHERE is Chicken Charlies  and how late does he stay open

Just let the musical director of our next show go - she won't be invited back, I'm afraid.  She told us in advance that she was busy mid-month, but had no problem doing the show.  She's done one before and she most certainly knows what I expect, which is one work session prior to rehearsals and then the other stuff.  I noticed today she hadn't even responded to let me know she'd gotten all the music I'd sent six days ago - I worked so hard to get all this stuff early and be ahead of the game and not even a confirmation e-mail.  So, I had Adryan Russ e-mail her and she got back a response that she'd had guests and hadn't even opened the damn e-mail from You Send It (these files expire after about five or six days) and didn't care to print anything out and that I should do it and deliver it and that she had no time to work before the rehearsal week.  At that point I told Adryan to dismiss her immediately.  And we have the wonderful Shelly Markham to replace her so it's all good now.

I don't think I'll do a second jog.

There have been contentious things in this day and I'm tired of them, frankly.  I don't like contentious, and I don't like negativity even more.  All I can say is - watch out.

[bk]

I gotta tell you.

[bk]

But I won't.

[vixmom]

Off to block Angel Street Act Three, where there will be lots of kissing, and fighting, and tying people up.  Some of it is in the script.

Show her the door!

[Jane]

Bruce I just read your tactful comment on FB regarding the change of director.  It was funny reading it after your comments here.

[bk]

The door has been shown and closed permanently to this young lady.

[bk]

I always try to be tactful on Facebook - here, not so much

[vixmom]

Well, I just had a deeelightful phone call from someone I dearly love and never see enough of. We had a scintillating conversation and I am feeling very happy tht it occurred.

I am now going to turn off the AC since it's cold enough in here to hang meat, and read a bit,

hmmm I don't remember calling today.....

[Jane]

'night

Jane sure goes to bed early.  She never did back when I first knew here and she was fifteen.  She could actually stay up till eight or nine back then.

No need to be. And good for you.

[John G.]

And here she is, Miss Whiskey Nut Cake 2013.

Two atoms are walking down the street together. The first atom turns and says, "Hey, you just stole an electron from me!"

"Are you sure?" asks the second atom.

To which the first atom replies, "Yeah, I'm positive!"

What about a third jog?  You could do that instead.
