Night you will wake up to a couple of toasters.

Sounds as if you will have a great time before Christmas

It was at the G8 conference in Russia.

Great to see you how is the roof?

Hey ilovew!

Just wanted to say hi and I'll be thinking about you on Monday. Congratulations! I'm very proud. ; D.

Could I use golden syrup instead of corn syrup as we do not sell that in the UK except commercially and I think that was not be suitable for cooking.

I'm just going to quietly point out that Ohio State is beating Texas 17-7.

In one of very few situations where I oppose the President, I am quite pleased right now, but don't wish to offend our First Couple by being too filled with glee. ;)

Looks similar to meringues

BUMP and thanks.

[ilovew]

Lol yes but it's not as much fun that way ;)

[onyx]

LOL --- quietly, huh?
You still own the last word on the other thread.
I hope he's finished with that thread.

[ohioWfan]

Yes..........by all means DON'T pass along classified information here.

We'll leave that for Jay Rockefeller to do.....

[ilovew]

Thanks, I hope so too :)

I have a son who did the same type of damage to the middle of his dad's birthday cake one year. I'd set it on the counter to cool before I frosted it, and when I came back, the whole middle of the cake was gone. I mean, it was TRASHED by the two-fisted cake glutton! I called my preschool son into the kitchen and asked "if he knew anything about that."

I salvaged a few very small pieces from the edges to frost before we went to pick up his father at the airport. His dad got a good laugh out of it.

[ilovew]

Aww thanks :)

[ohioWfan]

It's mine. He's gone. ;)

(Should I have whispered softer about the game?........hehe).

What's blackberry and apple buckle? Do you have fresh blackberries growing wild near you?

Good for you, for reclaiming your mum's food processor.

May the Lord keep these men safe, and may this boat serve the Country as well as the others of her name.

[ilovew]

Yeah and the New York Times.

[onyx]

Nope. You're entitled to cheer for your team.
I have had to suffer through a full day of football. I don't care who wins...lol.

This is from that conversion chart from The Chef @ worldwiderecipes.com .

Corn syrup is common in the US but not always elsewhere. Sugar (golden) syrup can be substituted. Corn syrup comes in two flavors - dark and light. Light corn syrup is just sweet, dark has a mild molasses flavor. Some people have substituted dark corn syrup for golden syrup in ANZAC biscuits and found it successful. A common US brand is Karo.

Golden syrup is a thick, golden brown (fancy that) byproduct of cane sugar refining. The taste is mostly sweet, although there is a slight acidic, metallic component. Lyle's is a common brand. The New Zealand brand name is Chelsea. If desperate, a plain sugar syrup may be a possible substitute, boil 2 parts sugar, 1 part water. This could be messy. You may want to thin it out with water. Again, you may want to try this out on your own before making something for a special occasion.
