The instructions say do the gusher inducer until everything runs clear. I 
might try the sports drink with the blue Powerade. I shall have to refer to 
the *very specific* directions as to whether it should be the "Zero" version 
or the fully sugared one.

Currently I am waiting to get notification from Walgreen's that the big box is 
ready for pick-up. I checked yesterday and the pharmacy told me they'd heard 
nothing from the GI department at SIU Medical. But, the guy I spoke to asked 
if he could use my "Night of a Thousand Waterfalls" analogy.   Bv)=

Can't do this until after the procedure .........

      Title: Favorite Holiday Fruitcake
 Categories: Cakes, Nuts, Fruits, Citrus, Dairy
      Yield: 1 loaf

      1 ts Baking soda
      1 c  Dairy sour cream
      1 c  Chopped dates
      2 c  Raisins
    1/2 c  Chopped glazed cherries
           +=OR=+ 
    1/2 c  Chopped dried sweetened
           - cranberries
      1 c  Chopped walnuts
      2 c  All-purpose flour; divided
           - in 1/4 c & 1 3/4 c
    1/2 c  Butter
      1 c  Granulated sugar
      1 lg egg; room temperature
           Grated rind of one orange
      1 ts Salt
      2 oz Brandy; opt

  Preheat oven to 325oF/163oC. 

  Line a 9" X 5" loaf pan with greased parchment paper or
  brown baking paper, cut to fit the pan.

  Place one piece to run the length of the pan and stand up
  above the rim about an inch. Place the other piece or
  pieces to cover the other sides.

  (When the cake comes out of the oven, you can easily
  remove it by holding the sides of the paper and lifting
  the cake out of the pan.)

  In a small bowl, mix together the baking soda and sour
  cream; set aside.

  Combine the dates, raisins, cherries, and nuts with 1/4
  cup of the flour and toss to coat the fruit and nuts. Set
  aside.

  Beat together the butter and sugar until fluffy. Mix in
  the egg, then the orange rind, then the sour cream/baking
  soda mix. Add the flour and the salt and mix together.
  Combine fruit/nut mixture with creamed ingredients and mix
  well to distribute the fruit and nuts evenly.

  Pour batter into a prepared 5" X 9" loaf pan and bake at
  325oF/163oC for one and a half to two hours or until a
  wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  Place a pan of water in the oven when the cake goes in.
  Water may need to be replenished during baking.

  Wrap tightly with aluminum foil and plastic wrap to store.
  If you want, you can sprinkle on a few ounces of brandy or
  bourbon, especially if you would like to store the fruit
  cake for a while.
