I always liked the dark. As far back as I can remember, it was always a
special treat at Christmas time. When I went to weddings and they handed
out small pieces of wedding cake, which is traditionally a dark fruit
cake here, I would take the pieces that table mates did not want.
Unfortunately, I developed a problem with nuts. That may have been
related to my gall bladder issues, and since I had that thing removed
last year I have been eating things with nuts without those annoying
side effects. Maybe this year I can risk the enjoyment of the Yule
season by indulging in a Yule time treat.
