One of jeremy's buddies put beer in our freezer and forgot about it and it kinda exploded a bit and yeah...no good for drinking so i thought i had to do SOMETHING to use it up... so i made a fruitcake. Fruitcakes are great because they keep so well, good for if someone just 'pops-in' then you can have a cuppa tea and a slice of cake. Read more ... i wish someone'd pop in to my place...OH that here picture is mine too...AND this recipe can be doubled/tripled whatever, then you can use up a WHOLE bottle of beer. Ok. go bake now.
