The Snack Shack has closed for the season but Randy is still cooking. Recently the Resort asked for a Luau, and Randy obliged. The menu was Luau Pork, Kahlua Pork, Luau Chicken, Grilled Pineapple Spears, Sweet and Sour Meatballs, Sweet Potato Casserole, Island Rice, Tropical Salad, Ambrosia, Hummingbird Cake and Hawaiian Cheese Pie. It was all great and well appreciated by the 90-plus guests.
Back in October when I went to a Luke Bryan concert, I discovered that the Claxton Fruit Cake company is just about 90 miles from us. They are world-famous for their fruit cake and this is the only place where they make them, so over the weekend we thought we would go take a tour of the place. But when we got there we learned that, due to insurance constraints, they are no longer allowed to give tours. Bummer - another thing the insurance companies have screwed up. But they did give us a sample, and that was enough to convince us to buy some. I used to be one of the multitude who bad-mouthed fruit cake, but this was very fresh and really good. At this time of year they are baking over 80,000 fruit cakes a day, and that trend will continue through Christmas. Not bad for a little home-town business.
