Not here. I might buy something small. We don't do much in the way of
desserts any more. As for fruitcake, I like the opposite of you. Fruit and
nuts is what I like. So much so that once in a while I will just buy some
candied orange or lemon peel. Doesn't work so well for me as it is very
high in carbs so the most I can do is a dice at a time. Just not quite the
same thing.
