   There is no emperor but the Emperor of Sugar Plums (who needs ice cream anyway)!

   Let’s nip this insurrection in the bud. Death to all Sugarplums. Onward to Vermont and victory. Are you with me?

   Shouldn’t we be dancing or something?

   What are “Sugarplums”?

   I don’t know what’s scarier: robots taking over the world, or sugar plums taking over the world.

   Will people with a high blood sugar level be the first to fall?

   Dear Greg,
   Want to make your own?
   * 1 cup raisins
   * 1 cup bite-size pitted prunes
   * 1 cup dates
   * 1 cup currants
   * 1 cup candied cherries, dried cherries, or dried cranberries
   * 1 cup walnuts
   * 1/2 to 3/4 cup confectioners’ sugar
   * granulated sugar

   Using a meat grinder or a food processor, grind the fruit and nuts and mix well. Work into the mixture as much confectioners’ sugar as it takes to form 1-inch balls. Roll in granulated sugar, then place on a rack to dry for 24 hours.

   Merry Christmas

    What I want to know is why there are NO PLUMS in sugarplums?

11. John on December 24th, 2005 7:42 pm

    Dear Elwood,
    Well, prunes are just geezer plums: ones that have become old, dried up and wrinkled (and believe me, as a once plum, now prune myself, I KNOW how that feels.)
    Merry Christmas

    I, for one, welcome our new Sugar Plum overlords
