Another top-tip is to use Soda Water with batter mix for pancakes, light and fluffy perfection...

A complete substitution or just partial? I'm intrigued by this.Purple Hayes wrote:Another top-tip is to use Soda Water with batter mix for pancakes, light and fluffy perfection...

Straight swap, Soda instead of still water, I was dubious before I tried it but there's no doubt it worksDr. Medulla wrote:A complete substitution or just partial?

Talking of Top-Tips, the new Viz book, "30 years of Top-tips" is just out. They printed a selection in the Sun last week, I was in stitches, I may look for a link to it

Thanks, PH. The missuz loves pancakes and is hooked on soda water (can't stand the stuff myself), so this'll be a neat experiment.

I haven't tried it with Yorkshire puddings yet, that could be truly spectacular..

Re: What Are you Eating Right Now?
I just ate one of the newest burgers from Kuma's Corner - the Brujeria.
I think I'm slipping into a meat coma. Seriously, this place is wicked awesome. Best fucking burger place ever.
EDIT: ALSO had the VERY BEST CALAMARI I've ever had, AND one of the top five Macaroni & Cheese's I've ever had there.
It was so rare a decent vet might have been able to save it. While I ate it, they were cranking loud, aggressive metal (as they always do). I literally wanted to leave that place and beat up some chump for no good reason. AAAAGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOO!Brujeria

I think Murph came up with a great description of how rare something was a while back. This belongs with that. The great manly pastime: figuring out increasingly horrible ways to describe how rare something is.
My contribution: a steak so rare the wife and kids are still expecting it to come home.
I feel that there is a fascistic element, for example, in the Rolling Stones . . .
