There\u2019s no indication on the card of who the recipe was from. Others I typed have names on them, but not the illustrious fruit cake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s almost like an unidentified picture of field, hay bales, or livestock that I have. Do I need to keep it? Or should I let it go?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If fruitcake lasts forever do recipe cards for fruit cake last forever too?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some random thoughts on a fruit cake recipe I discovered.
