Christmas baking.

[alp]

Yep, Snicker doodles, a well known cookie for us. made them many times over the years.

Can we have a picture for culinary education please?

 

[Silentrunning]

@alp - be very, very careful! Once you taste a Snicker doodle,your life will be changed forever! You have been warned.

 

[alp]

@Silentrunning Hahaha! Don't worry! I'm a coward and won't touch it. It will not render me stoned on the street?

Not much chance of me sampling one here! Now, you've got me fascinated. If I liked the look of parmegiano cracker, I might ask @marlingardener for a recipe. I know how innocent and moorish that could be.

 

[Logan]

Just marzepaned the cake.
Before

After

Let it dry until Friday then i'll ice it with royal icing.

 

[alp]

Whoa! What a transformation! It's so nice to eat home-made honest and top ingredients stuff!

I am so useless - can't wire stuff, or bake ..

 

[Logan]

Thanks, i can't wire stuff, but very good with crafts. When i was at school,in one of the lessons i made a leather case for a small radio, a food tray with basketing around the rim. We had sewing lessons, made a nightee and a blouse.

 

[alp]

We never had sewing lessons or cookery lessons. That's why I am such a boring person!

It was an eye opener when I got into a better government school and saw boys hanging around the windows to get their treats from the girls right after cookery class.. Wish I were there right at the start. Not bright enough. When we moved to this new government school, we were said to have INVADED this school as there were quite a few of us, just as we were when we first came to the forum. We were called "escapees". Some civility accorded to us!. I was wondering what hit us .. as we hadn't even found our orientation .. Kept clicking the pic icon next to emoji to load a photo???!!

[alp]

@alp as you also said it you should know. ??????

 

[alp]

@alp as you also said it you should know. ??????

I just liked to torment you as you sounded so abrupt.. and now you sound angry.. I was only teasing you! Hahaha! You should know me by now. I was just like you - very abrupt ..

Wire stuff is wire stuff together, for example, changing a plug or wiring up audio equipment. I am no good at explaining this. Perhaps @Colin the walking encyclopaedia will help. He's technical. Wire stuff up is just a quick way of saying joining things join electrically .. Oh, I'd better stop as I think I'm going in a loop!

Wiring stuff is like what @alp said. Wiring plugs,all though now things come with plugs already on, because people didn't know how to put them on properly, so they were being electrocuted.

 

[Esther Knapicius]

OK, well, I guess I know who you both will call when they need something fixed, or cooked or baked. Hope you can light a fire and wave the correct smoked signals to get across the pond .

 

[alp]

Sorry, don't quite understand ..

I actually have a new hobby. I now want to collect coins. Ex collected coins year by year and they were all stolen during a burglary.

By happy accident, I have got a 50p Beatrix Potter coin. Alas, not so exciting as this one

View attachment 30618

This one has sold for £4500 on ebay. I think the one above is so expensive because it has got COLOUR!

I have got this one

Very drab in comparison. But hey, it safer than buying bitcoin! Haha!

Next time when you get a coin, have a good look before spending it.

Off Topic Police will be knocking on your door very soon.
