    Is there a list anywhere of all the different challenges? - I keep seeing them in people's signatures and think 'that looks interesting, I'll find out a bit more about that' and then can't actually find the thread?

    Thanks

    Not that I'm aware of. They are spread all across the boards.

    I would think so, might be a bit fluffier than normal but I am sure they will taste fine :)

    I don't think they will work. For a reason that I don't understand using SR flour for Yorkshires means that they don't rise. I had a complete disaster when I used SR flour by mistake.

    With the milk, I'd go for the sniff and taste test - if it smells OK and tastes OK, then it's probably fine to use. (And I'm very fussy about my milk - if it's even slightly off then it has to go - not very OS of me, I know. :o)

    As far as the fudge cake goes, it's not something I've ever made myself, but a quick G00gle suggests that most recipes use self raising flour, so that seems a good bet.

    HTH. :)
  • My fridge was left slightly open last night, and when I woke up this morning, the stuff at the bottom is still cold, but the stuff at the top like sausages, bacon, cheesecakes, cream feels not as cold, a bit warm. There's also two already cooked chickens on the middle shelf that feel warm too.
    Do I have to throw it all away? I don't buy meaty stuff often because I find it super expensive, so I really really don't want to throw it away.
    I think the fridge was open for about 8 hours, maybe a bit more.

    At least I've learnt something from this, in future I'm just going to put drinks and things that are okay to go warm at the top of the fridge, and all the important/expensive stuff at the bottom!
    :o I'm a money wasting expert. :o
  • ^The only thing I worry about is lukewarm meat like that...its one of the only times I throw food away...not even sure if I would give it to the dog. Unfortunate that you have so much in there. :(


    Quick question - Whats the thing called that you put between a pan and the hob, to slow the heat right down...? The one I once had had a wood handle and a metal..round flat area.
