I first read A Christmas Memory some twenty years ago, but the memory just lingers... I still feel the cool autumn breeze and smell the fruitcake spices--cinnamon, mace, nutmeg, and cardamom, like when I used to bake fruitcakes with my sister. I am from the Philippines, and there's really no autumn here; neither were fruitcakes that popular at the time, because we had a lot of other native recipes and dishes esp. for Christmas including various rice cakes and delicacies(bibinka, kalamay, and puto bumbong), fresh buco (young coconut) salads, lechon (roasted pig or chicken), morcon, and leche flans. But I dreamed and dreamed of fruitcake and the falling leaves in the U.S., where my brother was then taking graduate studies. He did send me fallen ginkgo, maple and pine leaves, but left my imagination to real 'home-made' fruitcake from Alabama. Never mind, I don't have to taste it-- just reading A Christmas Memory, already I cannot forget it!
