Some folks rail against other folks, because other folks have what some folks would be glad of.

I am waiting for da fruit cake recipe, pleeeeaaaase. I just hope it is not the one made with the orange juice, like that 4 ingredient one.

No pickles7, it's not that '4 ingredient one' ... it's actually 4 ingredients short of a whole cake!

I love it. It is nice to know you all do have a sense of humour.
Yes pickles I discovered on Monday morning that I was suffering from Righteous Eating Disorder and I posted a thread asking for help to overcome it. Cooks too wanted to help but didn't want to be seen to help so she jumped into the Health and Beauty Board and called me a Fruitcake. I later discovered that it was just a subtle ploy to help me, whilst not being seen to help. So now I have a house full of fruitcake, which will help me overcome my righteousness as you so succinctly put it.
And it is working. No righteousness from me anymore. Just gaiety and joviality.
Do you like the new me?

You have to understand that part of my disease involved avoiding eating processed foods and anything with an ingredients list. So as part of my therapy I BOUGHT my fruitcake. I chose Ernest Adams because they have the cakes with the longest list ingredients.
I'm never going to make my own food again. And, if #1 has gotten this far, I suggest you buy madeira cake to prevent suffering as I am suffering.

Ernest Adamsyep. I remember Nana buying slabs of cake by the lb, and me eating a huge ice cream, the best ice cream ever made, my Nana was nice to me.

Yes pickles your nana was good to you. She, single handedly saved you from having to suffer as I am, from Righteous Eating Disorder. I wish she had been my nana too.
I never had any nana.

well you have outdone yourself while I was away - however a winner seems hard to pick - so I will leave it to flowers35 to tell us which recipe she used in the end... :)

I'm shocked. I always use cold water myself because it saves the planet and now here you are suggesting we all go about willy nilly and have wholesale showering with warm water. Talk about adding to Global Warming.
