A Recipe for
Maureen's Carrot Fruit Cake
There are three possible parts to a date, of which at least two must be offered: entertainment, food, and affection. It is customary to begin a series of dates with a great deal of entertainment, a moderate amount of food, and the merest suggestion of affection. As the amount of affection increases, the entertainment can be reduced proportionately. When the affection IS the entertainment, we no longer call it dating. Under no circumstances can the food be omitted. |

Chili represents your three stages of matter: solid, liquid, and eventually gas. |

We plan, we toil, we suffer - in the hope of what? A camel-load of idol's eyes? The title deeds of Radio City? The empire of Asia? A trip to the moon? No, no, no, no. Simply to wake just in time to smell coffee and bacon and eggs. |

Food Tip |
What my mother believed about cooking is that if you worked hard and prospered, someone else would do it for you. |
| Nora Ephron |
“This root [the potato], no matter how much you prepare it, is tasteless and floury. It cannot pass for an agreeable food, but it supplies a food sufficiently abundant and sufficiently healthy for men who ask only to sustain themselves. The potato is criticised with reason for being windy, but what matters windiness for the vigorous organisims of peasants and labourers?” |
| Denis Diderot (1713-1784) L'Encyclopedie (1751-1772) |
Hunger is the best sauce in the world. |
| Cervantes |
Watermelon --it's a good fruit. You eat, you drink, you wash your face. |
| Enrico Caruso |
Dessert is probably the most important stage of the meal, since it will be the last thing your guests remember before they pass out all over the table. |

6 ea carrot -- grated
2 2/3 c sugar
1 lb raisins
2 2/3 c water
2 TB butter
2 ts cinnamon
2 ts cloves, ground
2 ts allspice
2 ts salt
4 c flour
4 ts baking soda
1 lb pecans -- (or walnuts)
1 lb candied fruit
Combine carrots, sugar, water, raisins, salt and spices in a large
pan and boil 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool. Stir in the
flour, soda then the candied fruit and nuts. Pour batter into well
greased and floured loaf pans or one large bundt pan. Bake in 325 to
350 degree oven for one hour.
If you wish to season this with spirits use about 1/2 cup of rum or
brandy and after the cake has cooled thorougly, pour the alcohol
gently over the cake. It may be best to do this just a little at a
time over the period of 30 min. or so. Wrap tightly in foil and store
in a cool place for as long a 3 months. After I give this cake as a
gift, I recommendthat, after opening, it be stored in the
refrigerator.
