Boat | Anchor
Weapons of Mass Disgusting, aka Tasty Fruitcake. Culinary Conversations with Brian Brooks Fruitcake can be so much more than a door stop or boat anchor. Sure, you’ve had a horrible fruitcake. It was probably made with those eerie glow-in -the-dark candied “fruits.” (And “fruit” is a generous word to use.) Why? Why shouldn’t fruitcake be [...]
