That\'s just the dementia. Nothing to worry about.
No problemo. After all it has been proven dementia is not a
disqualification for a sitting US president, at least twice. Reagan was a
little better at compensating.

Something like that? I see quite a few similar products but they\'re all a
gallon or larger sizes and seem to be from restaurant supply houses.

Looks similar, though rather a large quantity and not available from
Amazon UK. (Not that I would buy that sort of thing online.)
I doesn\'t say that it can be used for baking cakes. Flora Cuisine said
that is could be used for general frying as well as cake making, but I
never saw the point as there are lots of vegetable oils available for
that. (Margarine is an emulsion of edible oil and water; I suppose
that\'s needed for cake making or people would just use oil.)
I\'ve just found a recipe for oil sponge cake here:
https://findsimplyrecipes.com/article/sponge-cake-with-oil-instead-of-butter
I don\'t know how easy it is in practice; they always make things look
complicated with their \"bain-marie\" and whatnot.
I expect you would need
a high speed mixer to combine the oil with the watery constituents (like
the eggs).

Apparently their cheese tastes like cardboard.
I\'ve been to the US a few times, and never found any cheese other
than
Monterey Jack, which is of the Edam type i.e. rather mild. I\'m sure
there are others, but the supermarkets don\'t seem to stock them.
Don\'t they have something they call Cheddar? What is that like?
Yellow rubbery plastic - what did you expect?
Maybe 25 years ago. We have some really good cheeses now, often from
co-op dairies that start with really good milk.
Nothing beats wisconsin chedder, aged 15 years.
Wonder how they predict how much to make.
Same issue with Ron Zacapa 23-year rum. I guess they just servo the
price.

Generally, margarine is not recommended for cake making. Baking relies
on a balance between water and fat. The water in margarine can produce
undesirable results.

The purpose of the bain-marie in this recipe is to warm the eggs without
cooking them. It denatures the proteins and makes for a better
emulsion.

It does say \"stand mixer\". Sponge cakes are leavened by incorporating
air into the batter.
Eggs are mostly fat, and contain an emulsifier (lecithin) that makes it
easier to mix the oil with the whole milk.
Sponge cakes aren\'t all that popular in the U.S. Butter cakes rule
the roost. They are leavened with chemicals such as baking powder or
baking soda.
The inventory costs of storing the cheese (and rum) appropriately is the
controlling factor in the number of units produced.
It certainly discourages start-ups. \"We\'ll see a fantastic ROI in fifteen
years.\" I\'ve idly wondered at what point a liquor, cheese,

I don\'t think you have fruit cakes much in the US do you? Even for
weddings or Christmas. Poor things. And as for \"plum\" pudding... (That
uses suet, unheard of across the pond.)
Boston Cream Pie... Probably could leave the cake out entirely and it
would be just as good.
My mother sometimes made a cherry chiffon cake that started with a
packaged mix. It wasn\'t bad if you squished a slice down to resemble real
cake.
