12 小时前Worst and best description of this I’ve ever heard is - when you’ve spent so long being frozen up inside, and then you come into the warm and everything melts and leaks out of your eyes. Can attest to the accuracy of this.

That’s a possibility - I still have to find out if my boys are coming here for Xmas. If not, I’d be open to hosting a DT regulars orphan get together on the fatal day. Will decide a bit later on when I know more about scheduling. Would be a ‘bring a plate to share’ and your own drinks. On the plus side, Thornbury is an eligible central location with easy public transport. Will keep the thread posted as info comes to hand.
True, but friends are the family you choose to have, not the genetic lottery.
News to me too.
Prawn & bacon risotto please chef and tea.
Should be outlawed, but I concede that it does make anzacs biteable when cooked too long (crispy). Can be replaced with an equal volume of rolled oats without changing the bikkie too much if cooked chewy. And coconut is essential for impossible pie cos specific gravity. All other uses of coconut come under the rubric of cruel and unusual punishment. Yes I’m including lamingtons in this.
The original recipie was different - didn’t have any butter or baking soda or coconut in it. Yes, they were iron rations - and about as hard as iron too. Had to last through a long sea voyage through tropical waters with no refrigeration without spoiling. And could be eaten by both men and horses for a quick energy boost. Cheap ingredients that could be made by anyone with a woodstove and a husband/son at the frontline. One of the most outstandingly successful examples of getting the home front involved in a war without putting them at risk.
Modern recipie is different - and is inherently much softer. And burns a lot more easily (the coconut) so is baked for a crispy outside and a chewy inside so the bikkies don’t burn. If baked until juuuuust a little bit burned at the edges, they’re the absolute best bikkies to use for a cheesecake crust.
WRONG! Should be crisp on the outside and chewy in the middle! I will die on this hill.
It’s very similar to a basic ANZAC bikkie recipie - just baked in a slice tin and not separately. The chewy in the middle is the best part imo.
Ignore step 6. Once baked slice is cool, then melt choc of choice and pour over the top.
Putting choc on BEFORE baking? SACRILEGE!
Toasted cheese and a cup of tea please chef.
Probs not the cocoa. More likely a temperature thing. Woke up myself half way through the night sweating. Cooled off and went back to sleep. Not to stress about it.
Swim? Or the 3 litre glass of beer.
Warmed fluffy towel shower, with new cake of soap.
Good to have you back Baku!
Compote de fruits, et un tasse de cafe, s’il vous plait chef.
Only magic ones. Those are ALWAYS acceptable.
