Are you gay, Bob?

Not that there's anything wrong with that. I just thought maybe
we'd all be more comfortable if you'd just say so.

Hey, enjoying the fruit cake recipe! I'd eliminate the walnuts (they
are bitter) and would add additional vanilla and lemon extracts, and at
least 1/4 cup of dark rum. Also to the fruits, I'd add dried
cranberries. ;-d

I guess I'm stupid. I have no idea what the "100+ crowd" is. I'm
still wondering about your first question. I've never been asked that
question before, at least not by anyone who wasn't obviously trying to
be cute or funny or jes casting childish insults. I, myself, have
asked that question. I asked Wayne Boatright. He answered truthfully
and I replied in kind. So, I'll do the same. No, Steve, I'm not gay.

The answer to the bitterness of walnuts, shagbark or shellbark hickory
nuts, if you can get them.

Perhaps he want to see if you were amicable to the spirit of the

Freakin' excellent!!

Had a great dinner last night and jes now cut a 1/2" slice and warmed it
up and slapped it between 2 slices of 12 grain bread w/ mayo and extra hot
horseradish. Where has this dish been all my life!?

I only used half of the largish roast and put the other half into
marinade for cha shua (chinese bbq pork). I will be roasting that
tonight for banh mi sandwiches.

Pecans are cheap in Texas. :-) He includes those in the recipe, and I'd
simply replace the walnuts with Brazil nuts.

Did you make the rolls already??? I know you have the baguette pan.

You mean Char sui? Also spelled cha siu, chashao, and char siew,
but never cha shua unless you're making it out of a small dog.

Peters Christmas Cake.


500g (1 lb) butter
500g (1 lb) Brown Sugar (the darker the better)
2 level tablespoons Mixed Spice
2 level dessertspoons Cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon Nutmeg
12 eggs separated
500g (1 lb) Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
Grated rind of 1 orange and 1 lemon
1kg (2 lb) Seeded Raisins
500g (1 lb) Sultanas (Can use 2kg of mixed fruit for the
raisins/sultanas/currants)
500g (1 lb) Currants
225g (1/2 lb) Mixed Peel
225g (1/2 lb) Cherries (I used Glace' cherries)
225g (1/2 lb) Almonds
4 tablespoons Wine or Brandy (to marinate the fruit and nuts)
1&1/2 cups combined red wine and brandy extra


Cream butter sugar and spices together, add egg yolks and beat well.
Fold in stiffly beaten egg whites alternatively with sifted flour and
baking powder. Add grated rind and fruit and nuts. (Chop the cherries up
and whizz the almonds (if whole) in a food processor). Lastly, add all
the booze and mix.

Grease and line your biggest cake tin with baking paper (mine's a 9"
square and still wasn't big enough!! I ended up with a loaf pan full as
well).

Bake approx 5 hours at 120C (250F) and then 2 hours at 100C (200F)

Note: With the egg whites, I put them and the flour in the mix in 3
batches. The egg whites won't properly 'assimilate' by themselves so
rather than spend too long trying to make them mix in, throw some flour
in with them.
And with the extra 1&1/2 cups of booze, mix them together in whatever
quantities you want, and even add more if you wish... it'll just make
the cake moister :-)

My mix was predominately brandy with about 1/2 cup red wine

I have never seen it spelled that way. I listed the spellings used
