Yeah, I've heard of that phenomena... seen it with MJ, but in her case
the stevia didn't seem to do that to her...

 RH> One good thing about this trip--our son in law was diagnosed as pre

He might be able to control things just with diet and exercise... :)
 
 NB>>> I've had some less than excellent ones from the store, but one
 NB>>> can be careful what one buys...  ;)  And I don't think I've ever
 NB>>> experienced the proverbially bad fruitcake, either....
 RH>> Best commercial one we've had is called Southern Supreme. Last year
 RH>> we got the last one a Fresh Market (upscale grocery store) had,
 RH>> never got a chance to get to Raleigh to look for one this year.
 RH>> They're a bit pricey but they taste better than any other commercial
 RH>> fruitcake I've had.
 NB>> They don't seem to make it into the groceries around here... probably
 NB>> because we are a little farther from the south....  ;) 

 RH> I don't think they get above the Mason-Dixon line. We'll have to try
 RH> to get some this fall & send it to you. In the mean time, Steve's mom
 RH> said she'd send us some of her home made, which is very much like the
 RH> Southern Supreme.

If you do, I'm sure we'd appreciate it... :)
 
 NB>> We did see the Claxton again this year, but there were also the
 RH>                ********
 RH> GAG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
They're pretty ubiquitous... ;)  Didn't buy any, just noticed them... ;) 
 
 NB>> ones that Wegmans makes themselves, so we bought a couple of the
 NB>> Wegmans ones over the season... little loaves...  One has been
 NB>> eaten, the other remains for eating soon...  :)

 RH> How are they, more fruit and nuts than cake or vice versa? The
 RH> Southern Supreme ones are more of the fruit and nuts than cake type.

These are mostly fruit and nuts, mostly whole... and just enough cake
to hold it together, especially if one doesn't try to slice it too
thinly... :)  

ttyl       neb

... Will that be cache or chkdsk?
