Holiday Preparations - A Special Recipe
Tequila Christmas Cake
Ingredients:
1 cup of water
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup of sugar
1 tsp salt
1 cup of brown sugar
Lemon juice
4 large eggs
Nuts
1 bottle tequila
2 cups of dried fruit
Sample the tequila to check quality. Take a large bowl, check the tequila again. To be sure it is of the highest quality, pour one level cup and drink. Repeat.
Turn on the electric mixer. Beat one cup of butter in a large fluffy bowl. Add one teaspoon of sugar. Beat again. At this point it's best to make sure the tequila is still OK.
Try another cup... just in case.Turn off the mixerer thingy. Break 2 leggs and add to the bowl and chuck in the cup of dried fruit.
Pick the fruit up off floor. Mix on the turner. If the fried druit gets stuck in the beaterers just pry it loose with a drewscriver.
Sample the lequita to check for tonsisticity. Next, sift two cups of salt. Or something. Check the tequila.
Now shift the lemon juice and strain your nuts. Add one table. Add a spoon of sugar, or somefink. 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 through the window. Finish the tequila and wipe counter with the cat.
CHERRY MISTMAS!
(thank you, Marianne.)

Aaahahahahahaha! This one gets me laughing every.single.time. Friend Ray had read the recipe, he just substituted whiskey for the tequila, turned out pretty much the same :^) although he may have grabbed his dog to wipe the counter.....
I'd like to thank Picperfect (another Marianne) for sending it to me... and Norma, you are SO very welcome! XOX

This is the best Christmas cake recipe ever. Thank you. I shall make it today. Minus the water, baking soda, sugar, salt, brown sugar, lemon juice, eggs, nuts, and dried fruit. Or maybe I will put the dried fruit in the tequila.

Hmm . . . it sounds like that cake is a whole lot more fun to make than it is to eat. (Two cups of SALT? Bleagh!)

I think I made that cake last year, but I can't remember. The memory is strangely fuzzy...
XOXO - happy Christmas, Norma and family.

Suddenly, I fear for young Vincent's safety and well being.
