certainly, the gin-soaked raisins ritual is nonsense.
Exactly. My M-I-L read an article where gin-soaked raisins helped people with arthritis. However since she and her husband were Baptists she asked me to get her a bottle of gin. They both ate several every night. While I was asking what they were doing with the gin. I can assure you raisin soaked gin with tonic sucks. lol.
