Confessions Of A Fruitcake Junkie

Journalists are asked to judge everything from chili cookoffs to carved chukars. It’s not because we know a lot about these things, but because we’re recognizable and, mostly, available.

When it comes to fruitcake, even journalists turn up their noses. I wasn’t the Downtown Boise Association’s and Capital City Public Market’s first choice of journalists to judge their fruitcake contest — at least one declined — but I was the last.
