Pooch Cafe by Paul Gilligan for December 28, 2019

Dogs have standards, you know!

And if Poncho won’t touch it, you know the cats won’t.

Recipe from her namesake, Tia Carmen Meranda, no doubt!

Well Poncho do Chazz a favor and go bury the thing ;-)

Take it to the office and put it in the breakroom! (I do that every year and even the vilest of Christmas leftovers disappear before lunch!)

i’ll take it. The stores in my area really cut back on their Christmas cake supply this year. I’m having trouble finding enough to last me until next year. I might have to learn to make my own.

I always loved fruitcake. Never could understand all the jokes about it. Unfortunately can’t eat it because of all the additives they put in it… but I could go through one in a week by myself otherwise. I mean seriously, it’s like banana bread on steroids!

Or like steroids on banana bread.

Fruitcake gets a bad rap. I love fruitcake, steamed Christmas pudding, mincemeat pies, and stollen.

We’ve a candy shop in town that makes a wonderful fruitcake. No additives.

Do you also like jello with vegetables in it? I like vegetables just fine, but they ruin jello!

I don’t usually wax serious on these posts but the raisins in fruitcake could be very harmful to dogs…so give them to me, instead!

Poncho has limits? Well. Son of a gun.

People who rage against fruitcake have never had a good one, or they don’t like nuts.
