First off — don’t mess with women who are mailing out fruitcakes to friends and family. You will make a fool out of yourself and put yourself in line to miss out on some good fruitcake. Geesh.
Secondly — a moment of silence please to mark the passing of the “other” fruitcake lady, Marie Rudisill, author and frequent guest on the Jay Leno Show (be sure to watch the first video of Jay and Mel making fruitcake!). No speculation on the role of fruitcake in living to be 95, but why chance it. Eat more fruitcake in Marie’s honor this year. Turns out she’s the Capote connection….)
Last — hear this fruitcake lady on the CBC on Monday. I’ll be doing a short live interview on the Freestyle Show on CBC, also heard via Sirius radio. I’ll of course be representing The Society for the Protection and Preservation of Fruitcake. We’re a dedicated band that’s all about good fruitcake and the making and eating of same. Protecting its good name. Preserving it with some good brandy. Slicing it thin and passing it around the room for all to enjoy.
