    What is your weather like right now?

    Expected top of 43 celcius today here in Melbourne Australia (109 F) :yuk: We're in the middle of a 3 day heat wave, not very pleasant. Thankfully I do have airconditioning in my home.

    If you need a really good, basic gingerbread man recipe...

    then here it is: Gingerbread Men I don't like gingerbread cookies with fancy 'extras' like orange rind or that sort of thing, and these ones just have the basic ingredients for a delicious cookie. Just some important points: -It's from an Australian site, so you'll need to convert to ounces...

    Baker's Secret

    What I have found with my non stick bakeware is that they still require a small amount of oil/butter. I bake my own bread and use non stick pans, but have always oiled them with olive oil or else the bread sticks a bit. The same goes for my non stick skillet, I always have to use butter or oil...

    Would you say quiche is a 'light' meal or a 'heavy' meal?

    Just curious as to what others think. I tend to think of quiche as somewhat 'heavy' because it consists mainly of eggs, cream, cheese and shortcrust pastry (lots of butter), plus whatever vegetables/meats are used. I tend to serve it with salad, but if we have visitors I make sure there are...

    Last thing that made you smile?

    ISO help making coffee extract

    Hmm, no idea. Do you have a recipe asking for it? Do they mean for you to just brew up some coffee and use that? Sorry, I'm not much help

    Bread - uneven texture

    Hey Joe, Hope you don't mind another question.....would that baking time be for one loaf? And also, my oven is fan forced so do you think that reduces baking time? I bake my bread (one loaf at a time) at around 350F (160C fan forced), and it comes out cooked, and it sounds hollow when I tap...

    How do I delete my Member Photos?

    I would like to start over and upload new photos, but can't see a way of deleting the ones I already have there. I must have used big jpeg files because I don't seem to have much room left for any photos, and want to delete what's there. Thanks!

    Whole wheat flour versus white?

    If it helps, I have an Australian cookbook that lists the weights of a cup of various ingredients (a cup in Australia is 250ml by the way). It states that a cup of white flour is 150g, whereas a cup of wholemeal/wholewheat is 145g.

    Do you get annoyed by people while cooking?

    Normally I don't mind company in the kitchen, I love to chat as I prepare and cook. However, when my 21 month old son comes in and starts pulling plastic containers out and putting them at my feet (then usually he walks away, leaving the containers there for me to trip over :dry:), I start to...

    Sprouted grain bread

    It's also known as Essene bread, here is a link: Essene Bread And here is a link to the search results: Google Search Results for Essene Bread I haven't tried baking this type of bread. I used to buy it all the time from our health food store, it's very yummy.

    If I have kneaded the bread in the food processor...

    Yes, it is possible that I left it there just a bit too long. It was only in there about half an hour, but the second rising was much slower than the first one in the bowl. I've had loaves in the past that rose even more than that, and they didn't deflate, but I guess each one is different...

    If I have kneaded the bread in the food processor...

    Oh, and I should add that the texture of the bread was nice, it wasn't too dense or crumbly, it was nice and springy. I'm just a little stumped on what happened to make it go flat on top :neutral:

    If I have kneaded the bread in the food processor...

    The trouble was that it deflated in the first 10 to 15 minutes, so baking longer wouldn't have made any difference IYKWIM. I do remember seeing a thread here about this kind of thing. I might have to do a bit of searching. That's ok, I think the result would be similar with bread machine and...
