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.)

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.

Not at all.

Giusi came in making out like I was posting it for him, because *he*(she?)
asked for it.

If I was to make comment on *every* recipe that I saw posted here, and
didn't like the looks of because they're "not at all the homey favourite I
love", I'd be posting 24/7.

If I look at a recipe and don't like it, I skip it. If I like it, I let
the person posting it know. Pure commonsense. If it's a recipe I make
myself, and I use something different, I will (maybe) comment on that.

Yep. But to say that a recipe for Lemon Meringue is "eloborate"???!!!

Is there a 'Cooking 101' newsgroup Giusi can be directed to?

As for "unsolicited critiquing"..... IMO, there's too much of it. It's
*those* people that have got their panties in a twist.

LOL!!

It's *lines*, not straps.... and I go 'commando' :-)


I can get Pandoras little language 'hiccups' no problem.

And I make every effort to make sure that what I 'write' reflects what I'm
trying to say.

But that's just me.

I just typed 'icing sugar mixture' into my Google search bar......

"What's the difference between icing sugar and icing sugar mixture?
Question
Dear Pamela, I have pure icing sugar and icing sugar mixture in my pantry
are they the same thing?

Answer
It can be a bit confusing with all the different sugars out the icing,
raw, muscovado, caster...the list is endless! Thankfully, it's easy to
explain the difference between the two icing sugars on the market. Icing
sugar mixture, also known as confectioners' sugar or powdered sugar, is
pulverised granulated sugar crushed together with a small amount (about
three percent) of cornflour. This icing sugar is great to use when making
icing for kids' birthday cakes or dusting sweet treats. Similar in
appearance to the former, pure icing sugar is also made from pulverised
granulated sugar but contains no cornflour. For everyday cooking, icing
sugar mixture does the trick; the only place where pure icing sugar is a
must is when making royal icing, modelling fondant and the like. If you
are gluten intolerant, be sure to choose pure icing sugar over icing sugar
mixture. "


Took 0.18 secs to get that answer........

Results 1 - 10 of about 1,080,000 for icing sugar mixture. (0.18 seconds)

No. *He*(she) said ........

"I don't even know what icing sugar mixture is meant to be!"


Or does "I don't even know" mean something different in your part of the
world?

He/she said that they get "Icing Sugar in envelopes here".... wherever
'here' is.

'Icing Sugar' in envelopes???? Sounds like a drug deal to me :-)

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??


Sidebar..........

Is it just me that uses Google to find stuff?

I've often looked in here and seen terms or product names that are strange
to me, and have Googled it to see what it is. But there are times when I
see things (ie, strata) that mean one thing to me, but different to you,
and when I google it, it keeps coming up with *my* meaning, so that's when
I ask.

I can't afford to sit here 24/7 and ask what every damn thing is.... or
even ask for people to tell me what I should cook for dinner that night.

I think a lot of people (in here especially) have just got too damn lazy
for their own good, and want/need to rely on people in here to tell them
what everything is because they couldn't be arsed looking for it
themselves.

Either that, or they *need* people in here to 'talk' to them to justify
keeping their Internet connection.

Pandora asked for it *here*, I posted it *here*. If she had said "Email me
any Lemon Meringue recipes you have" I maybe would have done so.

Anyone can look at it, and feel free to Archive it/copy it if they think
it's OK and maybe want to try it. I gave my personal guarantee that it was
good, because I have made it many times.

If people want to come up and say "It's crap... Looks like shit.... why
would anyone with half a brain use that shit... etc".... they are
instantly part of that crowd that use this 'place' to vent their spleen
for their own pathetic self esteem, and personally, I wouldn't **** on
them if they were on fire.


Besides, I don't just email *anyone*.

Apart from being rude and intrusive to email someone 'unsolicited', my
email address is 'silent'.

If someone asked me to email them, I would..... if I trusted them.

I just got wet racing outside to take the washing off the line. So my head

You said the recipe was "way more elaborate". If you think *that* was
elaborate, you obviously have a hard time in the kitchen with just about
anything.

Adjective

elaborate

1. Highly complex, detailed, or sophisticated


2. intricate, fancy, flashy, or showy

Oh, I did read it. Several times.

I don't. I come here to act in a civil way.... and I do. Right up to when

Coincidentally in Lucas in accusing poster of being a child molester,
I have some documents in my procession concerning HIM in this matter -
send me your e-mail and I'll attach copies.
Anyhow my suspicious are confirmed - Lucas is indeed retarded and
needs to be pitied.
Wonder if his SO Ruth Grealy is aware of his past activities
concerning children?
Might have to send her copies of documents too.
You know something - by bringing this terrible affliction of his to
light ,Lucas may be inadvertently be wanting to confess all.
Come on Lucas.....confess it is good for your sole (sic).

I have often wondered about this very issue. He casts this stone, and
others, so often one has to wonder about his real motivation for doing so.

Melba, this was the kindest I've ever seen anyone describe Lucas. All of
Usenet knows what an ignorant twink he is but you've taken the high road.
You really should have the prize for patience where Lucas is concerned.
Lucas needs a following even if the follower offers nothing but
constructive criticism.

Do us all a favor and don't. You're already online 24/7 as it is. RFC does

Trying to show off your "expertise" again Peter? It won't work in this
