What are blondies? They don't feature in UK supermarkets; nor in my recipe books. Am I missing something interesting?

Blondies, as I remember, are basically brownies, but they are not made with regular chocolate. They are made instead with white chocolate or peanut butter or butter-scotch. So they are not brown, but blond.

VOTE BACON!!!!!!!!!!!

This is surely the time when we are most in need of a doggie group.

I'd rather have chocolate, thank you very much. (Although I am in my bear disguise at the moment.)

Hmm.. Brownies seem to be more tasty. Still: I wouldnt object to eating some blondies - just to be on the safe side!

Thanks, Curly. Those sound worth tasting, at least!

My wife loves Blondies far more than brownies, fudge, etc. Her best ones have butterscotch pieces in them.

Now on fudge there are two schools of thought (beyond the with or without nuts argument) -- smooth or gritty. Many people, like my wife, favor the smooth fudge while I favor the gritty version. She uses confectioner's sugar and I use regular sugar. I guess it is just a matter of what you grew up with.

I can also see that VR has become a single issue politician.

Smooth fudge made with clotted cream and vanilla

Question, RWood:

What does the winner of this poll get . . . besides EATEN?

Fledchen · 04-15-2009, 09:16 PM

My favorite reading snacks used to be imported biscuits (Tim Tams, chocolate Hobnobs, Jammie Dodgers), but sadly the only store around here that sold them, World Market, has closed all of its Minnesota stores. Woe!
I can still get part of my fix from http://www.billsimportedfoods.com/ (highly recommended, there is also a great book/comic shop nearby, http://www.dreamhavenbooks.com/) but not everything.

There are no winners or losers here, just good reading and good snacking. Who could ask for more?

Except for VR who, along with his pet human, always wants more bacon.

Is the ratio of Baileys of Glenrowan Founder Liqueur Muscat to time frame similar to that which you have for Kendal Mint Cake?

Cheers,

Tattncat · 04-16-2009, 10:37 PM

Coffee & Chocolate the only way to go.

Sweetpea · 04-17-2009, 02:56 AM

Tea, potato chips, corn chips, some cheese and fruit, and I'm missing a big one... candy! Especially double salted liquorice... (notably, the Dutch variety: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salty_liquorice)

Unfortunately, no. I can only get Kendal Mint Cake very rarely from Sugar Fix under Myer in Sydney. The muscat comes from a bottle shop near my husband's school, so it's far easier to get.

We're hoping to plan a trip to Rutherglen in the not too distant future. It's my favourite wine growing region. The Hunter's nice, but The Barossa is too big and commercial.
