Well, well, well... It's time for resolutions now! Christmas is over, Santa's gone back and all the presents have been opened - it's party time again but with a different flavor! New Year! So guys, what do u think about resolutions? For me, they are fine as long as I can keep them - and they really get very difficult to keep once half of the year has passed by!
The New Year does bring in a lot more than resolutions. It rings in new year wishes, new year traditions, new year celebrations and more food! Just think, another year filled with food, fun and friends! Speaking of food, we do have another food celebration today - Fruitcake Day. I guess fruitcake is something which is kind of topsy turvy - in the sense that U either like it or simply hate it! So, keeping this 'caked' thought in mind, here's me wishing all the fruitcake lovers, a yummy time and also check out this simple recipe for fruitcake - A sweet treat to usher in the New Year Holidays!
1 3/4 cup all purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp.salt
1/2 tsp.baking powder
1 1/2 cup butter, softened
1 Tbs.vanilla extract
1 Tbs.lemon extract
5 eggs
7 1/2 (more or less) cups dried fruits and nuts

Salut Casey,
J'ai bien eu ton message par MyBlogLog, c'est syma et je te remercie.J'ai traduit ta recette de cuisine en Français et cela m'a l'air bon. J'ai également écouté ton clip de George Michael que j'aime bien et que j'adore. Excuse-moi,mais je me débrouille très très mal en Anglais.
Bye bye and Happy New Year...
