Find your self thinking about the hereafter, more and more?
As in walking round the room, looking, muttering, "What am I here after?"



Couldn't remember how old I was today! Had to work it out on my fingers.

Hmm. I definitely don't have that many fingers!

Try:
Get a can of fancy sweet cherries.
Make a good chocolate devils food cake.
Drain the cherries, mix the cherry juice with equal parts of rum and
sprinkle lightly on the cake layers. (should not be soggy.)
Make a good chocolate butter cream frosting, then beat lots of rum into the
buttercream. Use extra chocolate, because the rum will soften the
buttercream.

Assemble the cake, using very thin layers of butter cream between the
layers.

Thicken the left over rum/cherry juice with rice flour (or corn starch) and
serve with thin slices of the cake.

I had that on the menu as a Demon Rum Cake. The rum cuts the sweetness of
the buttercream, and the buttercream hides the amount of the rum. Brides
would taste it, love it, and order it. But, their guests would end up
drunk.

Hmmm...who has a really good rum cake recipe? I'm planning on what I'll
be
eating after I'm done with delivery and nursing!

Oh, that reminds me of a funny story! I was working as an ICU nurse
and
one
of my co-workers was making rum cakes for extra Christmas money.
She
brought in a sample cake one day and I ate a quarter-inch sliver of
it.
I
was completely upholstered! I couldn't feel my face! I still had
two
hours
of work left to do! My co-workers had a great time laughing at me
and
they
divvied my work up between them so I wouldn't be a menace to my
patients.
I
had *no* idea that she poured a whole FIFTH of rum over a 9-inch
cake!!!!!!!!!! No wonder I was loaded with such a little sliver!

I thought when any kind of liquor was cooked/baked - it lost its
alcoholic
properties. You had the flavour, but not the "punch".

Depends on whether you add the alcohol to the mixture (I do) before
baking
or spoon the alcohol over the cooked cake (stabbing it first with a
skewer)
before storing and 'ageing' it. The first method is less hazardous to
sobriety! The second suitable only for adults!

who is now thinking ahead to Christmas, with all this talk of fruitcakes
and
alcohol.

Oh, Aaron, this sounds delicious! I have sent it to myself for later.
