With the holidays coming, here's a fruitcake recipe that will help
take the stress out of this normally stressful time:

Ingredients:
> 1 cup water
> 1 cup sugar
> 4 large eggs
> 2 cups dried fruit
> 1 tsp salt
> 1 cup brown sugar
> 3 oz lemon juice
> 1 cup nuts
> 1 gallon Bajan Rum

First, sample the rum to check for freshness.
Take a large bowl.
Check the rum again to be sure it is of the highest quality.
You know we can not trust those Bajans.
Pour 1 level cup of the rum and drink it. Repeat.Repeat again.

Turn on the electric mixer; beat 1 cup of butter in a large fluffy bowl.
Add water, eggs and 1 tsp sugar and beat again.
Make surr the rum is still OK.
Cry another tup.
Turn off mixers.
Chuck in the cup of dried fruit or something.
Mix on the turner.
If the fried druit gets struck on the beaterers, pry it loose
with a drewsciver.
Sample the rum to check for tonsistancity.
Next, sniff two cups of salt. Or something.
Check the rum.
Now sniff the lemon juice and strain your nuts.
Add one tablespoon of sugar or whatever.
Grease the oven.
Turn the cake tin 350 degrees.

Don't forget to beat off the turner.
Whip the bowl out the window.
Check the rum again.
Go to bed.

mmmmm... fruitcake.

In the late 80's, I was invited by my American professor for X'mas dinner.

It was expensive for me to fly back to Taiwan.

X'mas is supposed to be with family and exchange of gifts or cards.

I mailed cards to my friends in Taiwan, US, Japan and Europe.

So the dinner was prepared for. I asked if I can bring something. The professor said maybe a desert.

Hmm.

So I smashed some cooked Pumkin and mixed with the glutinous rice powder or Nuo Mi Fun. I used a paper cup to stamp them into shapes. I then steamed them with boiling water.

They tasted a little bit sweet and some pumkin flavor.

I really like to steam a lot. The meat and veggie still preserve the textures and orignial flavors. You may also stir fry but there is cooking oil, margirine or butter involved.

Ever since the microwave oven is available, I modified a bit.

So at one time, it was my turn to cook X'mas dinner and host other graduate students from Taiwan and China.

I made drunken chicken, roasted chicken, 3 cups chicken, by requests. These are not available in restaurant.

I made the steamed fish with microwave. Everyone was suprised. Sea food is easily cooked such as shrimp, lobster, crab etc.

Yes. microwave really "revolutionized" traditional way of cooking.
