I also made chocolate covered pretzels (both white and dark chocolate) earlier.

I didn't have any -- I just zested an orange and threw that in along with the juice.

Ahh, my brother claims to make fruitcake , but never puts citron in it because he hates it.

I really like it and think fruitcake needs it.

I can hardly afford to buy fruitcake any more. I bought one little piece maybe 4 ounces for $8.00.

Does it take long? I saw the frosting here and was like hmmmm

Chuck some melted butter in to a bowl, toss in a couple of eggs, some sugar, and some vanilla and whisk it. Add some flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and chocolate chips. Throw into the oven. While it is baking, beat some butter with powdered sugar and vanilla until fluffy and whitish. Let brownies cool. Ice. Cut. Eat.
Exercise the extra calories off.
Go look for some recipes.

I'm starting a food thread now.
I expect pictures!

be careful what you ask for my pix are rarely interpretable!
Hubs is really pushing the Chinese food for Christmas

Four Loco! Oh God! All the kids in my high school used to drink that

Exactly. Some kids even insisted, mine, that it isnt alcoholic. I dont think he had any at that time. I do know they were brought to school under the energy drink guise. We have two convenience stores right by the high school. Both sell alcohol. Really smart
I believe the alcohol content wasn't front and center like the energy drink part was. I could def be misremembering though.
