I don't want to start the great fruit cake love it or hate it
debate all
over again. I just want to say that I just put the first batch of my
light fruit cake into the oven. It is a lot of work and lot of expense
but I have several friends and relatives who look forward to it every
year.  It took me an hour to get the ingredients whipped up and
ready to
go into the pans. Stirring the dredged glazed fruits into that heavy
batter is a decent workout.

 Ã‚ Â  perhaps a desktop cement mixer would help?  :)
 

 LOL  That might not be a bad idea if I were doing larger batches.Â
I had
not used the stand mixer before because I didn't think it would hold the
entire batch. I gave it a try and added the dredged fruit in
stages.  It
all fit and tool a small fraction of the time to get everything mixed,
and with a lot less of my physical effort. The dough is so dense that I
have to be careful which utensil I use. My biggest cooking spoon and
slotted spoon would bend. I think the wooden spoons would snap.  I used
a wok stirring  thingamajig because it has a sturdy spoon and shaft
attached to a wooden handle.
 

 Hobart makes good equipment that has the power to do what you need and
works with large batches.

The donald would first call paramedics to save Palmer's huge dik. Probably would also call out green berets too. Mobilize the Marines, and declare a national emergency and dissolve congress as well. He sure loved arnold's big ole dik. I guess Melanomia quit giving the donald any more pussy.

We've never had a president so enamored with another another person's dik. But it's OK. LGBTQ queers have plenty of rights now that the donald is sitting in the catbird seat.

It's wonderful.

Actually, I heard that Palmers dik will be exhibited in the National Museum of Natural History in 2025, so be sure to check their web site for updates!
