Sis Why, just thought I would share this with you and MTU. Last year we had a contest where we had to submit recipies and the winning ones would be published in a book for where I work. There would then be a draw of all the names who submitted and the person would win a $500 shopping - sadly I was not the winner of that shopping spree, but I suppose I could consider myself a big winner with this note from from a white, born and bred Canadian who knows nothing about cooking J'can stuff. Here is what she had to say:

Hi Sis AJ, I just wanted to let you know I used your recipe for Rum Cake from our little MGS cookbook for a wedding recently. It turned out so good, one fellow told me it was the best rum cake he has ever tasted.

So, thank you very much for sharing your wonderful recipe. I couldn't believe all that fruit and alcohol would fit into the small amount of batter but, just like Alice in Wonderland, I followed the instructions and it turned out just right.

I'm now getting requests for the recipe. If you have an e-copy, that would save me the time of re-typing it.
