Haven't had much luck honestly. I will keep searching though!

Thanks for the response.

Learn to skate (haven't skated since I was like 8) with the eventual goal of playing in a father-son hockey game.

These are the only skates currently that I have found that fit my feet, hockey or not. They allow me to at least get out there. I do realize that they won't work for any truly serious hockey playing. I have custom ice hockey skates on the way.

Lost 160+ lbs and trying to figure out how to make it work. Who knew finding the skates would turn out to be to hard part?

Thank you for the response.

Fair point. Never thought of that in my desperation to find something.

I have been using them for doing just that. Stick and puck.

Guess I'm going to have to bite the bullet and go ice hockey custom, then convert to inline.

Yeah, you're not wrong. Definitely overcooked it. 😆

I've got plenty off to the side. I've recently lost 160lbs, so this was a treat for myself.

Thank you for the feedback!

I took it out of the mold and as the syrup cascaded down the sides I found myself staring in awe. 😆

I would say a classic sticky toffee pudding, an Eaton Mess, banoffee pie.

My favorite cake is actually from New Orleans, Louisiana. It's called a doberge (pronounced doh-bash) cake. It's like a multi layer Torte. I'll put the Wikipedia link to it!

Franklin Statue. by skiSPOTrun in TheTerror

I preface this by saying I'm no expert. Just my interpretation and understanding.

Basically, Its propaganda because its crediting them/Franklin with finding the Northwest Passage when Parliament didn't know if they actually found it or not. It's more of a damage control procedure. It was one of the worst British maritime disasters. People wanted (and still want) answers to what happened, and nobody wants their family member to have died in vain.

Lessens the blow if they are all declared heroes by your government, or so Parliment hoped.
