I said I'm sorry. I've made mistakes, but fear was never one of them.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

If I had no job and more spoons on a consistent basis I would really love to tackle watching GBBO from S1 and backing every dish made.

Castor sugar is, I think, superfine sugar. Strong flour is bread flour. My oven has a fan because it has a convection setting. I have not tried to make a single recipe from the show, but I'm fascinated by it.

I don't think I'd ever try any of those recipes ... but I have one of those brains that WANTS TO KNOW (if you know what I mean).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Every time I look up a recipe, I remember that the official ones are British, and I don't have a kitchen scale, so I skip it again.

Jesse, I believe I have more than one. I'll take a look.

Thank you, but I am fine with Imperial measurements and American recipes!

Someone once commented that if the U.S. ever went metric the only people who'd be familiar with the measurements were scientists and drug dealers.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

And obsessive bakers!

You can make castor sugar by whirring regular sugar in a blender or food processor for 10 seconds or so.

The oven thing is just impossible to translate or understand. That's my position anyway.
