Well I like it.

 Today is National Fruitcake Day, and, to further complicate things, December is Learn a Foreign Language Month.  Sadly, I just learned about the foreign language thing today which leaves me with three days to learn a foreign language.  I don't think that's going to happen.  About fruitcake, I know I'm in the minority but I actually like fruitcake.  I'll admit some are better than others, but in general, I like them. I usually buy a small fruitcake for myself (I try not to inflict my biases on others) but this year I didn't see any on the grocery shelves.  Perhaps on Thursday, when I plan to shop for groceries, I'll see some on sale.  Hope springs eternal.  I have, at times, considered baking my own fruit cake, but when I study the recipes they all seem to require being baked way ahead of the holidays so they can be soaked with rum (or whatever) several times.  While I'm thinking about doing this, the time runs out, unless I want to have fruitcake to serve for Easter.  (See my earlier blog on procrastination.)  Ah well, maybe next year.
