I had to move up my Christmas baking schedule because I have to make a
quick trip to the west coast. Today's baking was light fruitcake. I am
well aware that a lot of people don't like Christmas fruit cakes, but
some of us do, and some our friends count on a gift of it. I went out a
couple days ago and bought enough butter, eggs, raisins, glazed
pineapple and green and red cherries. I also got some pitted prunes
because they are good in it even if the recipe does not call them.

I spent the morning making one batch and the afternoon on the second
batch. It takes about hour to mix the stuff up, line the pans and spoon
in the batter, and then two hours cooking time. The are all on the
cooling rack now. After they are cooled I will give them a liberal dose
of brandy and wrap them up.

No time to bake tomorrow. I have to get packed and prepare a eulogy,
find old pictures. I have an early morning flight and get back here
around 5 am Monday.

Sorry to hear you have a funeral to go to. I'm thinking it was someone
close to you, as you are doing the eulogy.

Anyway, have a nice time on the west coast. I'm guessing you'll be
catching up with lots of old friends and relatives.

When you get back, I'll have to bug you about your light fruitcake
recipe. I think if I left out the raisins I'd like it quite a bit. (I
hate raisins.)

I always make my late MIL's fruit cake, it's light and has no citron so I
love it. No, I do not know where the recipe came from and neither did she.


2 pounds butter at room temperature
4 cups sugar
12 eggs separated (save whites for later in recipe)
2 oz pure lemon extract
8 cups flour
2 pounds golden raisins
1 pound candied cherries (a combination of green and red looks pretty)
1 pound candied pineapple
2 lbs of walnuts or combination of nuts of choice

In large bowl cream butter and sugar until light, add beaten egg yolks a
little at a time.

Add flour one cup at a time until blended, then add lemon extract. Rough
chop fruit and nuts, lightly dust them with flour, and stir into mixture.
Don't use a mixer for this step or your mixture will turn color from the
cherries.

Beat egg whites until medium soft peak stage and carefully fold into
mixture.

Line loaf pans with double sheets of cut up brown grocery bag paper and
grease paper, this keeps the loaves from developing a crust and keeps them
light.

Bake at 275 for 1 to 1 1/2 hours depending on loaf size, or until a
toothpick comes out fairly clean when inserted in the middle.

Makes 6 loaves and recipe can easily be halved for smaller amount.

He was my oldest and dearest friend. We go back 57 years. His family was
my second family. His sister is like a sister to me. We met when we were
ten, moved to different towns and different directions, but always kept
in touch and visited each other.

Not too many to catch up with will be the sister, but there will me one
friend of his from high school who I knew well from visits. The sister
has arranged for me to me picked up at the airport and I can stay with
them and get a ride to the ceremony with them. It is on Saltspring
Island and if I had had to go by public transportation or rent a car and
deal with the ferry I doubt I would manage. It will be a quick trip. I
catch a plane from Hamilton at 7 tomorrow morning and will be back 5 am
Monday morning. Cripes last minute air fare is expensive.

That could work. I omit the nuts and the pitted dates but I add chopped
pitted prunes.



Moms Fruit Cake

3 cups Seedless white raisins
2 cups red glazed cherries
2 cups green glazed cherries
2 cups candied pineapple
2 cups pitted dates (optional)
1 cup coarsely ground pecans (optional)
5 ½ cups All purpose flour
½ tsp Baking Soda
¾ tsp. Salt
¼ tsp. mace
2 cups soft butter
2 cups granulated sugar
8 eggs
½ pint sour cream
2 tsp. Vanilla
2 tsp. Grated lemon rind
3 Tbsp. Lemon juice

- Blend butter and sugar and add eggs one at a time. Add sour cream,
vanilla, lemon juice and granted rind.

- Place the fruits in a large bowl, sift dry ingredients over the fruit
and stir together. Add liquid mixture to the dry and stir to mix thoroughly.

- Line loaf pans with paper and pour batter into pans to a little more
than half way. NB. Recipe makes enough for 6-7 loaf pans.

- Bake at 300 degrees for 2 hours.

Allow loaves to cool. Sprinkle a little brandy, rum or sherry over each
loaf, wrap them individually in aluminium foil and let them sit for at
least a few days before eating. If not using them within two weeks
they should be frozen.

"New Zealanders will quickly become nettled if they are confused with
Australians when overseas. There is no surer way to upset us," Mr Cryer
told The Sunday Telegraph.
"People may think that the dialects are similar, but Australia was five
days' sailing away for the early settlers and there is a great deal that
they do not have in common.
"The Australians had influences from their native language, and these
Aboriginal words had no currency in New Zealand."
There are often occasions when the two countries have different words
for the same things, he said. One example is the local term for flip-flops.
"The Australians call them 'thongs', a word which in New Zealand refers
to an item of ladies' underwear," said Mr Cryer.
In Newzild, he explained, flip-flops are known as "jandals".

I think of those thongs as dental floss.

We call 'em "slippahs" over here or more properly, "rubbah slippahs." Calling them flip-flops wouldn't be cool, but I kinda like "jandals."

This may be resoundingly odd, but have you ever heard the term "zories"
applied to them?

Here it's thongs, flip-flops or pluggers.

That's not odd at all. Zories are traditional Japanese sandals made from straw and/or wood. The slippahs are just zori made from rubber. My dad would call rubbah slippahs "zori" but most people wouldn't. It might be that when my dad was a kid, rubbah slippahs didn't exist. You can still buy zories though. It might become fashionable one of these days.

I think they're charming, rustic, and funky. Well, they would be if you wear them on the mainland.

Yup, and really common to my mind in Sasebo. I don't recall seeing them
worn outside the house there. I think they were thought of as 'house
slippahs' (translation to Hawaii).
