Merry Christmas

Once again this year, I've had requests for my Tequila Christmas Cake recipe, so here goes:
(Please keep in your files as I am beginning to get tired of typing this up every year!)
1 cup sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup water
1 tsp. salt
1 cup brown sugar
Lemon juice
4 large eggs
Nuts
1 bottle tequila
2 cups dried fruit
Sample the tequila to check quality. Take a large bowl, check the tequila again to be sure it is of the highest quality.
Repeat.
Turn on the electric mixer. Beat one cup of butter in a large fluffy bowl.
Add 1 teaspoon of sugar. Beat again.
At this point, it is best to make sure the tequila is still OK.
Try another cup just in case.
Turn off the mixerer thingy.
Break 2 eegs and add to the bowl and chuck in the cup of dried fruit.
Pick the fruit up off the floor.
Mix on the turner.
If the fried druit gets stuck in the beaterers, just pry it loose with a drewscriver.
Sample the tequila to test for tonsisticity.
Next, sift 2 cups of salt, or something.
Check the tequila. Now shift the lemon juice and strain your nuts.
Add one table. Add a spoon of sugar, or somefink. Whatever you can find.
Greash the oven.
Turn the cake tin 360 degrees and try not to fall over.
Don't forget to beat off the turner.
Finally, throw the bowl through the window.
Finish the tequila and wipe the counter with the cat.

Choke! Gasp! That's even better than my recipe for Irish Stew:

Irish Stew

Ingredients:

2 lb stew meat (any kind of meat will do; road kill must befresh)
1 lb praties (potatoes)
6 large carrots
1 bunch green onions
1 white onion
1 can tomato sauce
2 cups chopped mushrooms
1 12 pk Guinness beer

1. Chop meat into 1” cubes. Remove excess fat.

2. Sauté meat in a deep cast iron frying pan in ½ bottle ofbeer. Rather than waste the beer, drink the other ½ bottle before it goes flat.

3. Drain meat and put into stew pot.

4. Rinse onions with ½ bottle of beer. Drink other ½ beforeit goes flat.

5. Chop the onions and put into stew pot. To avoid cryingwhile chopping onions, drink 1 beer (sometimes it takes more than 1).

6. Rinse mushrooms with ½ bottle of beer. Drink other ½before it goes flat.

8. Finely chop the mushrooms and put into stew pot. Choppingis tedious; drink a beer to help pash the time.

7. Rinsh carrots with ½ bottle of beer. Drink other ½ beforeit goesh flat.

9. Finely shop the carrotsh and put into shtew pot. Choppingcarrotsh ish even more tedioush; it may take two beersh to get the job done.

11. Peel and shop the praties. No…wait…tish too mush work.Jusht rinsh with beer…no…wait…don’t waisht the beer. Drink the beer and jushttosh in the praties.

10. Open the can of tomato shauce…forget the tomatoshauce…forget the shtew, drink the resht of the beer!

Merry ChriFSMas!

Dang, Shawn, aren't you cold?

Nar, that green alien blood acts like a good antifreeze.

Thanks for all the brilliant help I received over these last months, I have learned so much and hope to help a bit in the future,

Hmm, maybe it is an older tradition but no gingerbread's?

Here is a sample.
