Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

This batch of dough might be my best yet - it rose a lot more than any of my other sourdough doughs. Think I need a smaller oval basket as it's just a bit longer than my oval Le Creuset dish but I'll cross that bridge tomorrow when I bake it.

I put a question to Fetchies in my blog and LindsD suggested I put it here too. Here goes....

I am tempted to see I can get some ingredients for fudge making. One quick question... Do you have to have a sugar thermometer to be able to cook fudge?

There's a test - drop a drip into cold water and it should make a soft but not squidgy ball - if it's not ready the drop just dissipates or forms a soggy flake

It does help but you can also do tests by dropping small amounts of the mixture into cold water. Not ready: forms strings. Ready: forms a soft ball. Overdone: forms a crystalline ball.

At least, that's what I remember from childhood adventures in fudge-making.

Flapjack. Very unevenly cut but looks tasty enough.
