Luncheon Cake

1 lb. butter
1 lb. sugar
10 eggs
1 1/4 lbs. all purpose flour
1 1/2 lbs. raisins
1/2 lb. mixed candied fruit peel

Cream butter until fluffy, add surgar and beat 5 minutes. Break eggs in two at a time until six are in, beating each two for 5 minutes, then 1 at a time, beating each 5 minutes. Add flour and fruit which has been lightly floured with some of the flour. Pour into 2 greased loaf pans, 9x5x3. Bake for 1 1/2 hours in the 300 degree oven or until done.

Now, that looks like a lot of fat to me and a heck of a lot of egg beating. Count it up, thats 35 minutes of beating eggs. Of course its probably pretty light and fluffy as well. If any of y'all feel like beating eggs for 35 minutes let me know how the cake turns out.

Have You Ever Tasted Really Bad Fish?

I don’t like fish. I never have. I love to fish. I love to catch them and then release them back for someone else to catch. I also love to cook them, and then watch someone else eat them. But for me I just can’t stand it.

My question to you is, have you ever had really bad fish? Not just okay that was kinda fishy, but downright you wanted to puke right then and there (or maybe you did?)

I have. I have from more than one source. My most memorable is a little dish my step mom would whip up with our freshly caught cabezon. I’m not sure what exactly she did to it, but it was breaded and baked and tasted like some sort of rotten bread mush mixed with fishy dumplings. And for the record it looked the same going down as it did coming up.

Seconds anyone?
