i wrote a limerick this morning and unfortunately skt seems to have given me an opportunity to dispell unwarranted poetry.
there once was a man from Thickett
who spent all his cash on a ticket
to fly to L.A.
where I heard him say,
"If my nose went on strike, I would picket.". . .
i also toyed with "if my nose were a fence...".

can you at least send me a couple of pieces?
- ********0
8oz plain flour
2oz sugar
1tsp mixed spice
1 levelteaspoon bicarbonate soda
1-2 teaspoons ground ginger
4 oz butter
6oz black treacle
2oz golden syrup
aquarter pint of milk
1 eggsieve the dry ingredients into a mixing bowl. Put the butter, treacle and syrup into a pan and heat until the fat has melted. Cool slightly then add to dry ingredients. Warm the milk in the saucepan to make sure none of the treacle and syrup is wasted. Pour over the ingredients in the mixing bowl and beat thoroughly. Lastly beat in the egg. Line a 7 inch square cake tin with greased greaseproof paper. Pour in the mixture and beat in the centre of a cool oven 300 - 325 for 11/4 11/2 hrs. test before removing from oven. (poke middle with skewer or sharp knife, if it comes away clean, the cake is ready) Leave to cool in tin for 10 mins then turn out onto cooling rack.

ok, so I just spent $40 at crate and barrel getting all the things I need to bake this cake. that plus all the ingredients means this better fucking taste like a $60 cake.
- laahshi0
