Litiquette V

I'm starting to feel like my answer erred on the nonintellectual side.

Non-what?

[Endless_Night]

Non-what?

It's not a word, is it?

I think I just made my own point.

 

[Mindfondler]

What does "intellectual" mean?

Oh, hush.

Oh, hush.

The hush before xmas...

...

I am yet to purchase a single Christmas present. I have a tree. It's decorated. Logically, it needs some presents. I have ordered a ham, but beyond that things are a bit up in the air.

You give hams as presents???

********************************************************

In an aside and back to the topic question again, my older brother's girlfriend and he came by for xmas one year. I was a quirky young kid at the time (yeah yeah, big surprise there), and had gotten a video camera and was using it for their visit.

It was a new toy for me and I was experimenting with the features. Long story short, she was getting pissy when I framed it on her. After a half hour, I popped out the video tape and played it for us to all look at. You could almost see her perception change instantly, she was apologetic though not in an obvious way.

My point is, even in a short time, perception changes, and sometimes recording devices, which perfectly record what has happened, can be used to realign perception.

Okay. I laughed. Twice.

I'll take a ham. And a fruitcake. I'm all over that shit.

A litster sent me a fruitcake last year for Christmas. Best pressie ever!

Friday, finally. Is your Christmas shopping done? Ha!

Life experiences are shaped by perspective. We all know that two different people can experience the exact same time at the exact same time and have completely different experiences. We also know that over time, the details become less clear and the facts of what happened often come into dispute. Given all that, why do we spend so much time looking back rather than looking ahead? Sure if you aren't aware of the past the future is bound to repeat itself, I get that. But don't we all dwell in the past a little too long for the inaccuracy in which we undoubtedly remember it?

Yes. I did all the shopping I care to do on Black Friday.

I reminisce, but I try to avoid it. I completely acknowledge just how unreliable my memory is. Nostalgia is a bitch, but it must serve some evolutionary purpose. Like not killing our offspring or something.

I'll take two hams... preferably with twin spheres of svelte corpulence above them.

I can't stand fruitcake. My brother is another matter and perhaps you and he are fruitcake crossed soul mates.

Americans are really weird about fruitcake. It's the insult gift, or so I've heard.
AND they have no idea what they're missing out on when it comes to Christmas pudding.

Like, that's not going to haunt me or anything.

Ham, yes. Fruit cake, gross.

I made a Guinness Christmas pudding last year. It may have been the recipe, of course, but that stuff was disgusting.

Indeed, and this conventional wisdom is sadly limited. I love the fruitcakes my mother used to make and for years I have been the keeper of the flame in our family by making a plum pudding or two each Christmas.

Probably the recipe but it seems that you left out one possible source of woe: the baker.

Hey!!!!

Step away from my woe.

 

[aussiegeekygal]

Did your recipe involve backing soda? Those cakes can be tough to salvage.

It did not. Why does that make a difference?

Once, several years back, I tasted a Guinness Pudding make by a woman visiting from England, It was amazing! Moist, and very cake-like, but denser, with a more complex flavor profile. I had no hand in the making, so no idea as to prep. What I made last year was more fruitcakey in texture and taste.

No one actually spat it out, but it certainly didn't make the cut for a repeat!

I've had a few fruitcakes explode when using soda...

 

[SMNaughtywife]

Confession: I've never tasted, bought or made a fruit cake.
Shakes head, I'm such an embarrassment.

Fruitcake is disgusting.
