As I just explained to Barb..........

"Well... as there is only *one* reference to 'icing sugar' (of *any* sort)
in the ingredients list, one could quite reasonably assume that anyone
with at least half a brain would be able to ascertain that the reference
in the recipe body would mean that particular ingredient.

Wouldn't you agree??"


Now you were saying.........????

I gave you the first step to finding out what it is.... do you need me to
hold your hand every step of the way??

That's funny........ I thought posting a request in to the group was
intended for *everyone*. I din't see you name in the post.

Here's what I saw.........

You should have posted yours, it may have been different.

For future reference, post the recipe as is. If people want to change it
to metric or imperial, then they can do that for themselves. Otherwise you
may as well change their nappies and blow their noses for them.

I don't know you, which means that you don't know me, so we are not
'friends'.

As for "charms"....... I'm not here to be "charming". I'll leave that up
to the sleazeballs.

There is something I have said for many, *many* years on the
Internet...... "If you talk nice to me, I talk nice to you. If you talk
like shit to me, I talk like shit to you."

If you don't like getting it, don't give it.


If you don't like the recipe, fine. Move on.
