Tequila Christmas Cake

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 iin the cup of dried fruit. Pick the fruit up off the floor. Mix on the turner. If the fried druit getas 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 ice 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 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.

FRIENDS AND FAMILY OR GRANDMA’S ON A TEAR!

And then there's the hearing problem.....

Okay here's what happened at Robbie's 8th grade graduation 5 years ago.  We were sitting in the bleachers (in the hot, hot sun) waiting for his name to be called.  Some idiot woman in front of me had a huge balloon bouquet and it kept getting in front of my face.  I asked her three times to keep it lowered and finally she went off the bleachers onto the field (still in front of me) with the balloons still waving around blocking my view.  Finally I had had enough and leaned over the railing and told her if she didn't keep those IUW$R#)JG)_ balloons down that I was going to pop every one of them!!!  Would you believe that while I'm yelling at her they called Robbie's name and I missed it completely.

Now what are the chances that the same exact thing would happen at Maggie graduation?  What - one in a million!  Well I should be so lucky with the lottery because DANG!  it happend again.  When I took off after the woman to ask her to lower the ballons, Cat says, "Mom, where are you going?"  as I turned around to tell her she is just shaking her head and says, "Too late, they just called her name"  I'm thinking that when I'm on the warpath my hearing goes on the fritz because once again I COMLETELY MISSED IT!!!  I promised my daughter that I would do better with my great grandkids.  Giggles : )
