Christmas Eve at the Casino
Okay, so we didn't go to the Casino for Christmas eve, we went to the Veijas Outlet center next to Viejas Casino, but I just couldn't resist that title! We watched "The Legend of The Ice Princess".
It was quite an event with pyrotechnics, laser lights and an interactive fountain.
At the end they showered us all with "snow". This is Phoebe dancing in it.
The girls were riveted to their seats and even got to meet the princess after the show!
It was a nice way to spend Christmas Eve after running around shopping, cleaning and baking cookies for Santa. Later on my friend, Nicole sent me her family's recipe for friutcake from the old country. Needless to say it was a blinding success, so here it is....
FRUITCAKE RECIPE
1 cup water
1 cup each of white sugar and brown sugar
4 large eggs
2 cups dried fruit
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
Lemon juice

Sample the whiskey to check for quality.
Take a large bowl.
Check the whiskey again to be sure it is of the highest quality.
Pour one level cup and drink.
Repeat.
Turn on the electric mixer; beat 1 cup butter in large, fluffy bowl.

Whatever you can find.
