I baked this pie:

it's not a cake ... but I make no excuses ... it can hold it's head high in pastry world.

Those are some of the ugliest scones I've ever seen in my life. Looks aren't everything, but seriously!

 

 

I suggest the moderation rules should be changed to the following, which are more in line with todays current trends:

 

Causes for moderation action:

 

* Making personal insults of other members cakes

* Stalking and unduly harassing other members for recipes

* Profanity and vulgar language when discussing baking(in particular, cakes)

* Threatening other members cakes in any way

* Discrimination whether based on gender, race, religion, culture or cakes

* Posting images of cakes that would be deemed offensive to the general public (i.e. Mals scones)

* Unwarranted spam & cake

* Links to malicious biscuits

* Links to websites that would violate these guidelines (i.e. http://www.recipes4cakes.com/ )

* Illegal content (ie: undercooked cakes)

* Content that jeopardizes someone's jam rolly polley.

* Excessively and deliberately hijacking someones gateau

* Overtly and incessantly trying to convert others to biscuits as opposed to cakes (any one who tries this will be moved to 'cake corner' forthwith)

Ninpo,

Don't think that we have not considered these moderation options. Offense against a jam rolly polley is clearly a crime against all puddings in general. I believe this has been discussed in the International Court of Baking Rights and is actually law punishable by immersion in Angel Delight (or other blanc mange type product.)

*** Moderation reminder ***

To all posters on this thread, these are the guidelines:

I feel it's now time to reveal my hidden talent to the world!!

 

Whereas I do not have the artistry of Mythmaker, I do feel I am making a valuable contribution to the genre of dragons.

 

My piece, is of course, of the 'lesser spotted dragon'.

 

My influences are Dali, Monet, Picasso.... in fact all of the really famous ones.

 

I will be encouraging critic from all (as long as it's all positive).

 

Ps. Please refrain from copying it and trying to sell it off as your own art work.

 

Is your dragon coughing from the cigarette or is it lighting up for others?

Thanks Apech

lets see if this works My link

yep - nice pic!

you can embed the pics in your posts if you use the icon that looks like a pic and says 'insert image' - you just need the url from flickr.

guess I can't show you guys, can't figure out how to get photo from iphoto to taobums, oh well

open a flickr a/c post on there and link to here (that's how I post media).

Moon very bright here tonight.

Last night a moon-bow ... a ring of light around the moon (caused by ice crystals in upper atmosphere I think).

BTW my neighbour plants his onions only at a late crescent/new moon - anyone else come across this?

What's a 'bisquick biscuit' ... is it something evil?????

Well.... I think that deserves a response. Where would you put Scones then? Mal mentioned scones, and I quote: Mal - 'scones...'.

 

Bearing in mind your new found desire as a 'cake supremacist' should you not have copied Mals word 'scones' to the cake corner?

 

And before you say it, yes, I am aware that a scone plays on both teams due to its lack of actual sugar content.

Mal's scones are his own personal business provided they remain covered in public places.

I shall look forward to your due course occurring; as you are, yourself, a Masterbaker, it is only fitting.

Due to a technical fault I am unable to apologize at present. I can however, apologize for not apologizing for what I am not apologizing for.

Sorry about that.

To whom it may concern(Apech7),

 

As I have been very disturbed by heinous copying of a biscuit recipe to 'cake corner' I have spent hours trawling the net to prove that cakes and biscuits do have some relevance to the topic being discussed.

 

My search was not in vain, as I came upon a very reputable survey from a secret website that you will not be able to find(due to your lack of website finding experience). Here below is proof positive of the relevance of sex/cakes/biscuits AND Japan:

 

 

 

There is no need to apologize Apech, I fully understand. We all make mistakes. Let that be an end of it!

I insist on apologizing and will do so in due course.

I cannot express enough my deepest joy at being copied to 'Cake corner'.

 

I do, however, think you have made a gross error of judgement. Uncooked chocolate bars are in fact a 'biscuit' and not a cake. Therefore, it is plain(chocolate)to see that I have been mis-categorized.

 

Usually when my biscuits have been misrepresented I would look the other way, yet I find this harder and harder to do these days. I understand that in the world of desserts it is necessary for biscuits to be integrated, however, not at the expense of a biscuits sovereign identity.

 

Whereas I recognize a form of biscuit/cake apartheid is not what anyone wants, it is disturbing that uncooked chocolate bars would so quickly be simply added to that section.

 

Disturbed and confused.

Dear NMNMTTTNMTTM,

Although I uphold the equality of all the varieties of pastries across the world I have to say I found it necessary in this case to take action. I cannot stand by and allow chocolate yumminess to be isolated from the rest of cake-kind and so I unilaterally decided that the definition of cake should encompass the whole of bakery (notwithstanding the uncooked nature of the 'self' of biscuit when understood in terms of Dzogchen) or either that/ or not the cake may be the product of cultivation, that is non-ejaculatory cookery.

I hope I have clarified the situation.

Looks yummy! Are there beans in the middle? In Japan, we have cakes with sweet beans in the middle. Nom nom!!

No the beans are kind of mashed up somehow ... you can tell I'm a cook.

These are even nicer pasteis de nata

Uncooked Chocolate Bars

60 grams butter or margarine

200 grams dark chocolate

3 tablespoons golden syrup

250 grams digestive biscuits, crushed

Place butter, chocolate and syrup in a saucepan and heat gently until melted. Stir in the biscuits and mix thoroughly. Turn into a greased and lined shallow 18 cm square tin and smooth the top with a palette knife. Leave to set, then cut into bars. Makes 16.

pasteis feijao

Cakes made with beans! yummy

Hi Kate,

Go to your user name in the top right hand corner.

Click the drop down menu.

Click "Manage Ignored Users"

Once there it allows you add names.

PS. Hope you haven't ignored me already or you won't get this

PPS I assume this function works cos I've never used it

One time, one life, two

Around we go, doesy do,

A collective mind.

A collective mind

Shines with a fuzzy glow

Not the morning star.

Glad to see we are still well on topic!

Even as Brit I have to say the Stones and all those 60's groups got all their inspiration from American blues and rock and roll ... of this there is no doubt.

I like to check out the people I have discussions with and 9th says that he is the 9th of Shemsu Hor (Priest of Horus). So I was interested in whether he viewed the ideas surrounding Heka as being similar to Taoism. To be honest I never realized that you were a fan of Egyptology as well. (I know! I know! You have hieroglyphics in your tag, and Maa' Kheru in your group name, shoot me...) So perhaps you'd care to elaborate on your own ideas?

Hi,

Yes the sig is a bit of giveaway - Egypt is my main thing and I am trying (slowly) to write a book on it ... based around the Pyramid Texts and the BoD. I've written a couple of bits about Egypt on here if you look around.

Shemsu Hor is usually translated as Followers of Horus a term which appears in the Pyramid Texts.

Cheers

naw, Marblehead. Songsters sing in sub-American. It happened when Frank Sinatra and Bing crooned. Suddenly singing couldnt be in English. The only people who sing in english are Richard Harris, David Bowie, Rex Harrison, and Bjork.

I thought David Bowie was from Mars ... or was that just the spiders?

Nutmeg on cauliflower cheese? really?

They would also say that the thing in the middle the 'sma' is the lungs and trachea ... but I agree with you that it is the pelvis and spine. I've discussed this with Mark Foote who is interested in the sacrum. We used the version of this that has the two Hapy figures instead of Horus and Set.

Have we adequately destroyed this thread yet? Hehehe.

 

Yes, I speak American, not English.

 

I go walking in the park, not in the paaaaak.

Ah, but do you park on the pavement? Cos that's really annoying to some. I'm mean pavement by the way ... because a side walk is what crabs do.

 

 

If one finds this hard to believe, they need only look at the Aztecs. When they first encountered the Spanish, they believed they were gods. I know it's far fetched, but I think within the next 20 years our notions of human history will change dramatically, especially with the recent discovery of cities and such that seem to predate our original estimates for the foundation of historical civilizations and cities.

 

That, I think, is almost a given.

I think Big Bang is probably one of the most misleading expressions in astrophysics - it makes people think that there was some kind of normal event like an explosion which we now see the 'remnants' of - while what is actually meant is the coming into existence of space/time itself and the resultant energy.

Wish they had demonstrated how such observations reveal filaments and sheets- didn't see any! Also, I wonder, do the new many, many galaxies astonish astronomers, or did they just assume they were there and now they are documented? I didn't quite get what the Planck had revealed that was new to astronomers, although the images are beautiful to me- maybe I should read it again!

Hi Mark,

I think, I may be wrong, but the further they look into space the further back in time they are looking. The revelation is about how structured the universe is in its early days ... not a random splurge of stuff but large groupings of galaxies ... this is where the sheets and filaments come in ... you see if the Big Bang was like a regular explosion you'd just see random distribution and very little structure ...

Thanks, Apech!!! I enjoyed this article very much.

Glad you liked it .
