Yep, I confess, I am sitting at my comp, Saturday evening, drinking RUM ! Mind you, I am basically an abstinent, but too much is too much ... ;D Plus I wanted to find out more about all that fuss once the rum is gone. ;D So I bought myself a bottle of Cpt. Morgan white Jamaica rum (not too many good choices locally though), and I must admit I do understand the fuss now ! Hell, it is actually a nice drink ! Though as I said, the selection in local shops is just POOR !!! ;D Some sites for ya: Peter's rum site is actually a Czech site .... check the LINKS section ... it is just unbelievable resource on rum and it is in English. ;D The Ministry of Rum URL I already posted. ;D ;D ;D |

nuts
Directions:
Before you start, sample the rum to check for quality.
Select a large mixing bowl, measuring cup, etc. Check the rum again. It must be just right! To be sure the rum is of the highest quality, pour 1 level cup of rum into a glass and drink it as fast as you can. Repeat.
With an electric mixer, beat butter in large fluffy bowl. Add 1 seaspoon of thugar and beat again. Meanshile, it’s important to make sure the rum is of the finest quality—try another cup.

;D ;D ;D Christmas ? ! ? We dont have that in Jamaica, LMAO.
And now, lets do some rum cake deconstruction ;D
Ingredients:
1 or 2 qts. of rum ... sounds good
1 cup butter ... sounds OK
1/8 tsp. sugar ... sounds OK
2 large eggs ... I never use eggs !
1 cup dried fruit ... you mean like e.g. rum, right ? ;D
baking powder ... Nope
1 tsp. baking soda ... Nope. Sounds dangerous to me !
lemon juice ... sounds good
brown sugar ... Oh yeah, Gimme Richards anytime ! ;D
nuts ... ;D
Directions:
Before you start, sample the rum to check for quality.
ABSOLUTELY ! ;D
Select a large mixing bowl, measuring cup, etc.
? ! ? Why measuring cup I wonder ... I dont need to measure things like RUM !
Check the rum again.
OK
It must be just right! To be sure the rum is of the highest quality, pour 1 level cup of rum into a glass and drink it as fast as you can. Repeat.
OK
With an electric mixer, beat butter in large fluffy bowl.
I dont have a mixer ... I dont need to beat butter .... when it comes to beating / up ...I would know of better objects ! ;D
Add 1 seasp-o-o-n of thugar and beat again.
Hmmm
Meanshile, it’s important to make sure the rum is of the finest quality—try another cup.
Yep, I can do that.
Open the second quart of rum if necessary. Add 1 large leggs, 2 cups of fried druits and beat till high.
See earlier notes to understand why these steps are entirely unnecessary.
If the fruits get stuck in the beats, just pru it loose with a drewscriver. Sample the rum again for cinscistincy.
Agreed ;D
Next, sift 3 cups of salt and feffer (it really doesn’t matter). Sample the rum again.
;D
Sift 1 pint of lemon goose, add 1 bablesp-o-o-n of brown thugar, of whatever color tou can find. Mix well. Grease oven, turn cake pan to 350 greeds.
I dont have an oven !!!
Noe, pour the whole mess sinto the boven and bake. Check the rum again and go to bed.
I would just leave it to checking the rum before going to bed
And my last note : I dont bake, I rarely cook ... I prefer stuff in its raw state ! ;D ;D ;D

LOL Melissa, you are right, I can't spell!!! But rum makes it even worse ... LOL LOL LOL! here's another funnie for you: ~ Pirate and Parrot ~
A pirate and his parrot are marooned in a lifeboat after the pirate ship sinks. The pirate finds a bottle in the provisions, and, hoping it's rum, he opens it. A genie comes out, and grants him one wish.
The pirate, unhappy that the bottle didn't contain rum, says: "I wish the entire sea were rum!" The genie waves his hand, and POOF the entire sea turns to rum. Then the genie vanishes.
"Oh, good work, genius," says the parrot. "Now we've gotta pee in the boat."
