December 10th - Christmas Pudding
"Fruitcake? The doc asks you to bring something for her Christmas party, and you're making fruitcake?"
Daniel sighed and gave the colonel a patient stare. "Not fruitcake, Jack, it's a Christmas pudding."
Jack poked at one of the bowls on the kitchen counter. "Doesn't look like any pudding I've ever seen."
"It's an English recipe, Jack, and what they call pudding isn't anything like what Americans call pudding."
"It has carrots in it. Who puts carrots in fruitcake?"
Exasperated, Daniel grabbed Jack by the collar of his shirt and began to pull him out of the kitchen. "You're the fruitcake!"
