Doesn't your oven have a 40/50 degree setting?

No idea, never looked for one. I'll go look, then edit. Is that the definition of "warm" then?

Edit: scale on oven starts at 80

I'm here as I was perusing doughnut recipes.... baked as I don't deep fry .... then withut kneading as I don't knead..... and then I hit one that needed the dugh to "sit somewhere warm" for an hour to prove. That's always annoyed me.... what does "warm" actually mean? To me it means it's a recipe you probably can't make most of the year.....

Wasn't going to make them, I like to look at recipes and think that I could make them

warm with anything that requires yeast is just about body temperature. so an airing cupboard if you have one with boiler otherwise kitchen counter top is fine (you just need to leave it a bit longer), covered with a cloth. (unless your kitchen is absolutely freezeing).

FC's description of drug-addicted caused U-bend blockages made it sound as unmissable experience......

My Dad can't remotely do "smart casual". He can do "smart", as he has properly tailored suits, evening dress and morning dress that all fit him very well. He can also do "country-show" dress, involving blazers.

He can do "digging in the garden" or "wrestling with grandchildren" clothes perfectly - jumpers that I remember from when I was Isaac's age and muddy cords.

Nothing in between.

My Dad doesn't wear jeans, ever, or T-shirts, ever.

Mine is a bit like that but not quite. He has a very working class made it attitude and only will wear quite smart. He gets quite upset about things like mud. I don't even try to be sympathetic I am afraid. I understand it on paper, but I just don't get it really. My dad has got too much of a beer belly to wear the clothes he wore when I was Isaacs age!:rotfl:

DH and I do look like tramps often. DH has an AWFUL track suit that makes him look just :eek: and I have several of them :rotfl:

Then there is all our fancy dress. Spirit was a bit wrong footed by the doge's/cardinal outfit.

Turn it on, let it heat up. Turn it off, leave it for a bit, put in bowl, leave with for open till about fifty, close door and leave shut till risen? Bit of a faff,,

I'd stick it near a rad in winter.

it affects me in a hidden way that makes me pretty upset and angry at the world. what affects me happens in around 50% of people who have the same condition.

wondering whether to go as I won't be as bad as some of the others there but just need someone to talk to that understand what it feels like. Friends are great but i just think they don't understand (and get bored after a while)..

You may have answered your own question here.

It is not a competetion. If the one who is the worst is the only ones to attend it would not be much of a group would it?

Yes, go.

We would not get bored. We spent a whole evening talking about colon procedures and wee on Tuesday. We may not however have the understanding and know how that a group of 'expert' patients/allies have.

Near a radiator.

Rads aren't on much/for long in winter; max 2 hours/day as heat's expensive.

No, boiler's on the wall, by the sink, 10' away from here.

No such thing as "kitchen", it's "room". It's not freezing, just "whatever temperature the weather's doing".

You are a funny lot.... with your Posh Alert different rooms

As per nikki's solution. put bowl on top of your belly between you and laptop. cover with cloth.

job's a good'un.
