Note received with an ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS fruit cake from a kind reader:

“At long last, the fruit cake I had promised. I apologize that I didn’t get

it to you in time for Christmas. I hope you enjoy it and, if you do, all I

ask in return is a Corner post for my Mom praising her fruit cake. Her name

is Raquel Moore-Green and she lives in Salem, Oregon. The fruit cake is

highly coveted by fruit cake lovers in and close to my family and is the

source of many ‘fruit cake conversations.’”

I am happy to confirm that Mrs. Moore-Green’s fruit cake is truly bodacious

and altogether superlative. Many thanks to her son for taking the trouble

to send it to me.
