A partridge in a pear tree

Only four more days guys!! The time feels like its going by really slowly for me actually - I think because I've actually done all of my Christmas shopping and I'm saving the rest of my wrapping for Christmas eve so I can do it with my mum... Also because I CAN'T WAIT to be home! We're leaving on the 23rd as soon as I'm off work, which could be anywhere between 4 and 6. It's going to be a full car this year with Manda, her sister AND her sister's bf, so that'll be kind of nice, not least because j won't have to fork out quite so much for gas.

Anyhoo, just a quick post today, I'm just killing time at Honda waiting for my customer... Again... Gosh I love waiting. Love it. Who needs to be productive or get any real work dine anyways? Grrrfbbbthhh

So, alas, it is here that I leave you with an excellent Christmas recipe. Slightly out if character you think? Well... Read on :)



Christmas Rum Cake Recipe

Once again this year, I've had requests for my Christmas Rum Cake recipe so here goes!

RECIPE INGREDIENTS:
1 cup Sugar
1 tsp. Baking Powder
1 cup Water
1 tsp. Salt
1 cup Brown Sugar
Lemon Juice
4 Large Eggs
1 Bottle Rum
2 cups Dried Fruit

DIRECTIONS:

Sample the Rum to check quality.
Take a large bowl; check the Rum again to be sure it is of the highest quality. Repeat.

Turn on the electric mixer. Beat one cup of butter in a large fluffy bowl.
Add 1 teaspoon of sugar. Beat again. At this point, it is best to make sure the Rum is still OK. Try another cup just in case.

Turn off the mixerer thingy. Break 2 eggs and add to the bowl and chuck in the cup of dried fruit.

Pick the fruit up off the floor. Mix on the turner.

If the fried druit getsa stuck in the beaterers, just pry it loose with a drewscriver or whatchamacallit.

Sample the Rum to test for tonsisticity.
Next, sift 2 cups of salt. Check the Rum.

Now shift the lemon ice and strain your nuts. Add one table and a spoon of sugar, or whatever you can find.

Greash the oven. Turn the cake tin 360 degrees and try not to fall over. Don't forget to beat off the turner.

Finally, throw the bowl away. Finish the Rum and wipe the counter with the cat.

Cherry Mristmas!!
