"Old Fashioned British Sweets From Your Childhood"

1953: Sweet rationing ends in Britain Children all over Britain have been emptying out their piggy-banks and heading straight for the nearest sweet-shop as the first unrationed sweets went on sale today. Toffee apples were the biggest sellers, with sticks of nougat and liquorice strips also disappearing fast. One firm in Clapham Common gave 800 children 150lbs of lollipops during their midday break from school, and a London factory opened its doors to hand out free sweets to all comers. Adults joined in the sugar frenzy, with men in the City queuing up in their lunch breaks to buy boiled sweets and to enjoy the luxury of being able to buy 2lb boxes of chocolates to take home for the weekend. Do you remember your favourite childhood sweets and the excitement of going to the local sweet shop and choosing from the vast array of jars on the shelves full of colourful mouth watering temptations? They were weighed by the quarter on a big old fashioned metal scale pan and packaged...

Happiness in Four (easy) Acts

Happiness in four (easy) acts Making a person happy requires just: - 150 g of white flour - 15 g of beer yeast - some water - some milk - a teaspoon of olive oil - 1/2 teaspoon of salt - 1 can tomato sauce ('pomodori pelati', in italian..

Stir vigorously in order to completely dissolve the yeast, and add two teaspoons of flour (stil stirring). In a bowl, put 100g of flour with the 1/2 teaspoon of salt and mix them. Then add the glass of water+yeast, and the teaspoon of olive oil. Stir vigorously (with a wooden spoon if you have one, a normal spoon otherwise). Now your goal is to transform the dough in a solid plain ball; add milk if the dough is not solid, some flour if it is too fluid. When the dough is quite...

Alien bear-things fall apart

It's the blueberry muffin mix centre — turns out it cannot hold. I'm not sure whether the event is more properly termed a collapse, a subsidence, or stress fracturing. In any case, there's a reason the moulds are marketed as "Build-A-Bear Workshop® Cake Pans". (Our more controlled use of the pan can be found here.) To make it presentable, I coated the exposed interior surfaces with red sugar to suggest the gory aftermath of explosive decompression, or perhaps monstrous parasites bursting forth, a blood-dimmed tide being loosed, what-have-you. My daughter decorated the exterior with it's swarm of creepy eyes and and peace signs, while the original concept (which had been to remove the ears and nose before frosting) and dangerously unstable baking was done by my wife. This slouched towards Omaha this weekend to attend OSFest 2 at the ConStellation NE room party. It was only the final mishap of a not-overly-ambitious refreshment theme that was caught up in a widening...
