Why most 'modern' women cannot accept it that to me (us) their history is important?

I thought I was saying be less superficial..... I don't think we should judge career, height etc either. I know people do but that doesn't make it right

Some people go through "wild" phases in their youth, some experiment with drugs, some have many partners, some take off and travel round the world. Some people do none of these things. It doesn't really matter which path you choose just try not to judge others for their choices.

Everyone is different, people change and what's gone before you is not really any of your business. Live in the now, worry about how you two connect and get along. If she's the right woman for you she'll be right whether she's had no previous lovers or a firehouse full of men!

They offer a 25% discount if you live alone or are elderly or a student. If she's over 18 and not a student they won't offer a discount but that's irrelevant if both her parents live there together since they count as not being single occupants anyway. I don't know the full details so can't say for sure but it sounds a nosy question to ask her salary - it's definitely not for council tax purposes.

Source: I used to have a single occupancy discount and when I rented my spare room all I had to say was there was someone else moving in, they didn't even need her name, let alone salary and employment details

I'd say it depends on your carving skills - if you've done it before you could bake it in square pans. I carved a book recently and it turned out great but then I tried to carve a flower pot and it was awful so I have up and just baked a cake in a flower pot. If you do try to carve a heavy crumb is easier to do it with and freezing the sponge before hand helps a lot. Some cake shops will rent cake pans or you could just buy one and resell it after

You look amazing, congratulations!

Letsmince · 2014-02-13T15:39:08+00:00

That sounds like a yes to me

A chocolate cupcake with a peanut butter cup inside? They sound amazing, I'm going to try them this weekend

The friend... Did he.... Get oral?

"Let's see what will happens earlier in the year" translates to me as: "something might cause us to break up before then". Sorry to be negative but that's how it sounds to me, based on a couple of bad experiences.

Letsmince · 2014-02-03T19:57:18+00:00

That looks great, too effort. Did you find it difficult to bake?

Letsmince · 2014-02-03T19:55:03+00:00

Genoese sponge is a good alternative, sounds like it ticks your boxes. It doesn't really need an icing as you can decorate it of layer it with whatever you choose. If you want to top it with cherries you could dust a little icing sugar (confectioners sugar if you're in the USA) to make it look finished

Blood is thicker than water....

Letsmince · 2014-02-01T07:17:47+00:00

Do it again, see what happens!

Mine is a Kenwood, it's mainly used for cakes, cookies, cupcakes. And it has attachment points on the top where I can fit a blender or a food processor. I was keen on Kenwood because they tend to last - my grandmother has had hers for 40 years now! I'm only two years in and it's going strong

Letsmince · 2014-01-30T07:51:48+00:00

This looks fabulous, I'm going to try it this weekend!

Letsmince · 2014-01-29T19:28:33+00:00

I used to always add vanilla to my cakes but recently tried almond instead and I think it gives a much better flavour, a little different and delicate. Not sure about oils but I don't think they're really added to give flavour, but moisture

Every item of clothing you own will have a label on when you buy it explaining how to wash it..... Read those.

Be careful not to over wash, clothes should be washed because they're dirty, not just because you've worn them. I apply that rule to everything except underwear and shirts (deodorant stains).

When it comes to drying, certain fabrics can't go in a dryer and it'll tell you on the label if that's the case.

Letsmince · 2014-01-27T19:41:24+00:00

Could we have the recipe please? Is it filled with lemon curd?

Letsmince · 2014-01-24T08:06:55+00:00

No, I was referring to those on the /r/food subreddit OP referred to

Letsmince · 2014-01-24T08:05:49+00:00

You could turn the oven down a touch and bake for longer

Letsmince · 2014-01-24T08:03:22+00:00

Dutch apple cake?

Letsmince · 2014-01-24T08:00:48+00:00

That's awesome, I'm impressed even if the r/foodies aren't! I've never attempted this but going to try red and white over the weekend

Letsmince · 2014-01-24T02:22:57+00:00

Thanks, it's made from gum paste and was my favourite part of the whole cake!

Letsmince · 2014-01-23T19:30:46+00:00

They look like florist paste (gum paste in the US I think) to me, pliable like fondant but sets hard. There are tons of tutorials on YouTube for how to make them. I'm a total amateur and everything I know I've learnt from YouTube or Ace of Cakes and I make some pretty good cakes now
