of a Collin Street Bakery large fruitcake that a relative sends me every year around the middle of December. I like fruitcake, but that's a lot of fruitcake.

So this morning I started having a wedge with coffee in lieu of breakfast. If I keep that up it should be gone in another week or two. Particularly if I can induce anyone else to have a piece or two in the meantime.

Note to self: contact Auntie and get her to throttle back to a medium sized one in future years.
