So recently I was offered a Job promotion for roughly around 130k a year but the only thing is that the job is 700 miles down south in North Carolina. I always wanted to move down south for better weather and a way less expensive...

A sponge but what's the other thing?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382882) • Rockingham, Australia 17 Jun

I seem to have been on the go all day today which is unlike me. We’ve invited a couple for morning tea tomorrow so there has been a bit of extra cleaning, etc, to do. I made cheese straws and you can see Vince’s baking efforts in...

Thelma The sponge cake will sink when it is underbake. I experienced that before. When I bake sponge cake I don’t open the oven unless I can see that the cake is getting off the edge of the pan and wait for 5 minutes before getting it out of the oven.

Are you a fruit scale whisperer or any other? I might be one:)

Valentina @valherma00 (4067) • Zagreb, Croatia (Hrvatska) 17 Jun

You know that fruit scales at the stores? They are mostly digital today, at least here and you put the fruits on them, enter the number of the fruit item, press enter and you get that barcode sticker and you're done. Well in...

Oranges, but no lemons

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382882) • Rockingham, Australia 15 Jun

MyLotter Jim (@Ineeddentures) wrote asking if members liked oranges. The very next day, we were given a bagful of big, sweet oranges. We’ve been buying mandarins as they are easier to peel and are Vince’s preferred fruit. They are...
