You're getting prickly again, Peter.

When you post anything that the whole world can *see*, whether it was
directed to the world at large or to a specific individual, you pretty
much have to expect that you've opened yourself to commentary from
anyone with a keyboard and web access.

Critiquing recipes (often solicited); e.g., "I might have done thus and
such instead; it would have produced a different sort of whatever," and
criticizing recipes (unsolicited); e.g., "I can't imagine why anyone
with half a brain would use this or that in a recipe for thus and such;
it simply has no place ‹ and besides, I don't like it" happens here all
the time. You know that.

Sometimes the latter is done good-naturedly (I'm thinking of boiled dirt
chunks), sometimes not so much. And often the nuances and inflections
of spoken conversation do not translate well to paper, leading to some
to get their panties and their chute straps all knotted up for no
reason. (That'd be you.)

What does OIYO mean?

(That's for icing sugar, not icing sugar mixture.)

No, she said she does know what "icing sugar mixture" is meant to be.
To me, it means icing sugar mixed with something else. Then the
instructions refer to it only as icing sugar when it is used in the
recipe. I think it's a bit confusing, too.

And if you click on the " zucchero semolato" in the translation (it's a
live link), it says that zucchero semolato is granulated sugar, that
zucchero in polvere is caster sugar and zucchero a velo is icing sugar.
Interesting. Those rascals.

My guess is that Judith has a better grasp of what's available there
than you do. I could be wrong.

Since the link was for Pandora, maybe you should have emailed it to
Pandora instead of posting it.
