Quick Vetkoek
Hi Carolyn! A literal translation will be fat (vet) cake (koek). I am from Afrikaans origin, and vetkoek is part of our food culture. It is not really as labor intensive as it sounds, especially if you only serve it with cheese and jam. Had some for breakfast...
Quick Vetkoek
Hi JMarinde, any brand of gluten free self raising flour should work. Just note, some gluten free flours have different aftertastes. I find that with some brands I have to add a few drops of vanilla essence to the batter to add to the taste.
Happy Independence Day Greeting Card
Happy 4th of July to you too! Hope you are going to have a fun-filled day!
Double Delight Chocolate Cake
Thanks for this valuable feedback! I dont drink whiskey at all, so wasnt aware that it contains barley. Luckily, I only have gluten intolerance, so the odd bit that creeps in wont be as harmful as when I use the wrong flour.
Turn Pine Wood Furniture into Objects...
Hello likekinds, Oh wow! I can just imagine how much fun you will have! Just hope you have an electric sander ~ when I did the chest, I had to sand everything down by hand, which in itself was a big job. :-) Please post photos, would love the see the before...
Tuna-Filled Pancakes
Hi likekinds! Unfortunately, I have to use gluten free flour for health reasons. I am gluten intolerant. I do cheat some times, but I try and follow the gluten free diet most of the time. I am quite fond of tuna, so I hope you enjoy the filling! :-)

Thanks likekinds, I value your feedback a lot, because your photos are always exceptional!
Bell-a-Ringing Christmas Card
Hi there! Yes, you certainly can use gel pens. I only used food colors because the end result is so bold, but gel pens will also make a great card.
Not-So Spanish Omelet
Thanks for the feedback! :-) Personally, I dont eat a frankfurter if it was not cooked a bit, and I dont like the taste of onions in my omelet. :-) Interesting how taste differs from one person to the next, isnt it? Glad you gave your version too, it gives...

Hi Helmut, Unfortunately we dont have Birds Custard in South Africa... :-)
Valentine's Day on a Shoestring Budget
Nope... no Birds Custard at our version of Walmart (the stores are called Game here). Hehe... I agree, cornflour does not sound very appetizing...
Valentine's Day on a Shoestring Budget
Thanks Joan! I guess that it what it is all about. It is not what is on the plate that matters, but rather the memories that are created that are important. Happy Valentines Day to all of you! :-)

Great advice! I always end up with a lot of unpopped kernels, which feels like such a waste! Thanks for this attosa!

Hi there! I got mine from a contact at a factory that processes lime. Many products are sold in bulk and they come in bags that are similar to the one I used.
