Pluggers by Rick McKee for December 23, 2024

I think I will have a drink on Christmas. Merry Christmas!

Nut Rolls for Me ! Ummmmm …. Good :-)

I recently mentioned my recipe for homemade fruitcake on the comments of another comic. Instead of those nasty gummified “fruits” that are in store-bought fruitcakes, I used raisins along with dried blueberries, cherries and apples, soaked overnight in blackberry brandy. I also used pecans and walnuts instead of peanuts.

Mmmmmm … Cake!

Some prefer a 100% Fruitcake-free Christmas.

My mom used to buy us all a fruitcake for the holidays, I was the only one that appreciated it…now I can’t have them.

Overpowered by fruit and booze.

I have a memory of my father’s employer giving out fruitcakes one year. Since dad was a teetotaler, it was very, very dry. No amount of whipped cream helped.

Use Everclear at 180 and in two bites you don’t care that it’s fruit cake. Oh, you add it after it’s been baked so the alcohol is all there.

With a shot of good Brandy. My favorite is a German Brandy called Asbach.
