Threads with no vipers

[Tihamandturkey]

Are there any?

I'm getting so pi$$ed off with the endless needless petty squabbling and point scoring on here by some posters - so many threads seem to be turning unecessarily nasty these days.

If anyone can point me in the direction of a thread with none I'd be very grateful.

Stay safe and well all ?

I asked for suggestions.

Please don't turn this into one of the threads I was referring to initially ?

The thread ‘horses that make your heart sing’ is lovely. But a bit of a tear jerker if you’re soppy like me!

Perhaps this thread could be a nice, happy and positive conversation.

Have a laugh at me - 60 this year and never ever baked a cake. So this morning with time on my hands as no riding being done at the moment, I decided to surprise my 87 year old and very lonely, mum with a home baked cake for Easter.

So how do you bake a cake ? out comes the laptop, have we all we need in the cupboards ?, well just about but it is all a bit out of date. Out comes the digital scales, never used, they befuddled me a bit so I had a guess. I did all the beating and mixing and shoved it in the oven. Licked the bowl and brought back childhood memories along with feeling a little sick.

Smells nice in the kitchen and it rose up ! I reckon I've cracked this cooking lark. Out it came and cooled it off before doing the butter cream icing thing. Success !, looks great so I licked the icing bowl too -------------feeling really sick now !

Hope Mum enjoys it and survives the experience of my first ever cake.

I think that Stormox’s advice was well meant. There are plenty of ordinary and non antsy threads still going on for those who come on to here to relax.

Currently, any thread concerning CV19 is likely to get a bit heated, so they are the main ones to avoid .

 

[windand rain]

Most reflect life as it is peaceful one minute hectic the next and squabbling the next people are getting a bit tetchy from time to time. I guess its a question of how you react as a person

Two here, one CV-19 related but no argument, the other pretending CV-19 doesnt exist.

I was thinking of starting one for positive CV-19 news asking for no negatives (only polte correction of factual innaccuracy) and no political comment. EG, that there might be a vaccine by September, that a 101 year old has survived and gone home from hospital.

What do you think, would there be any interest?

Err hello...photo needed.

Was it a Simnel cake?

I think this is a great idea ?

Coronavirus gen Z productions is awesome and veggie growing is good as well.

OK, if anyone wants to start it, feel free I'm just going to have a snooze. If it hasn't been done by when I wake up, I'll do it then.

Just to warn you, there is a viper in the wildlife thread, posted by Moobli!

I honestly don't think we need *another* Coronavirus related thread.

Nobody is forced to open any thread.

Well done Alice, I’m 51 and also have never baked a cake since school... barely do any cooking actually! Hope your mum loves it.

Me too - just catching up with replies ?

Yep well done Alice I'm 57 and am totally
useless at baking - too many disasters to count
- whenever I suggest it in my house I get a resounding "no please don't" ?

Snap on both counts !! I keep trying to make scones and they always end up like rock cakes and I have no idea why .
How hard can it be ffs they have about 5 ingredients, all of which go in the same bowl and get mushed up into a lump. I have tried every sodding recipe for scones I can find and every time they could be used as a lethal weapon, then I talk to mum and she is all '' oh I made some lovely scones today''...ahhhh

My husband is in his 60s, he made his 2nd ever cake today, I got back from the yard tonight in time to try the finished article, it tastes bloody yummy!

 

[HappyHollyDays]

I can’t bake anything either, mostly because I don’t have an oven ? My sister is a chef and annoyingly a very good one and having lost all her events this year she has put her talents to good use by baking cakes and tray bakes for the village. The pub is doing the savoury takeaways and she is doing the sweets.

 

[J&S]

oooh, yummeeee! Good on him. My oh is banned from any kitchen activities.

Oh wow Fuzz that is seriously impressive. Sooooooo jealous . Please tell me that was the size of the slice you personally ate x

 

[AmyMay]

I’m inspired. Might do a cake tomorrow if I can find any ingredients.

Shady, the trick with scones (according to my catering friend) is to handle the dough as little as possible.
