  • Hard News: The Public Address Word of…,

    Russell: I'm late to the post again, sorry, if my word has already been suggested and discussed and dismissed I do apologise. But if it hasn't...that word is Twatcock. I cannot take credit for the word's coining, I believe that honour goes to the wondrous- with-words, Jolisa. But it must be a contender for PA word of the year.

    Okay, just seen someone's beaten me to it. Poop.

    Ditto bowls of raspberries and blueberries (served in silver bowls) and strawberries & cherries (served in crystal)..

    Dyan, you have class and a little Wonderland perversity about you, I like it!

    My point Sally? I didn’t really have a point.

    Tasmin6: Hey dude, it wasn't a criticism. I just think everything tastes better in cake - duh!

    Look, there really is nothing for it but a bakeoff. How fortuitous for both Danielle, and I, that we live in your vicinities. I can think of an occasion in the very near future where cake tasting and judging could be arranged. Don’t you think?

    Yes. Sooner rather than later, please, we're off to the South Island for xmas :)

    I have written many articles on health – NZ Doctor, Fitness Life etc – and I’d just like to say here high GI foods are the enemy of health,

    Dyan, my, my, how long your post is. Thank you for sharing. Looks like you're the winner of any bakeoff then, might as well call it off.
    Kidding.
    Yes, less sugar, less white flour. Go Jamie Oliver, he's a man on a mission if ever there was.

    I love old American baking, with blackstrap molasses, ginger, cloves, cinnamon. Pies, deep dish fruit pies with unsweetened pie crust Hundreds of different gingerbreads – loafs, chewy cookies – breads – gingerbread is a huge category, and the American versions are the best, as they used so much molasses, and hardly any sugar.

    Sorry to quote long but OMG! This is culinary gold. Especially advice about keeping one eye on nutritional value. I always say, if you can add fruit or nut, do. There's no excuse for a plain flour, butter and sugar cake these days.
    The prune brownies (?) are a winner. Love the idea of the kids downing prune and thinking it's chocolate. Cool :)

    But that's not a roil hedgehog recipe. If the almonds were slithered instead of chopped I might have bought it.
    I once made a hedgehog cake with chocolate flake spikes - sort of thing everyone should do once.
    Now that brings to an end all the hedgehog-insensitivity on this here thread.

    Are you sure that’s not hedgehogs you’re thinking of?

    .

    Okay, that's funny. I think I must have pricks on the brain, What can I say?

    I just don’t dig eating baked guinea pig, okay?
    :)

    Yes, too prickly.

    this is practically the only way I ever eat pumpkin. In cake.

    And your point Tamsin6? Well, apart from roasts and soups.

    Bloody Nora, Jackie, sorry about that. I sent you an email about 5.30pm yesterday. I'll have to fire my people, get some new ones who know what they're doing! Onto it!
