Please pass me a "plate of prayer" if you will? This is a nice table around which to sit.

Before I forget.... here Mark, here is a plate of prayer. But there are many,many more scattered around should you need more.

My plate is filled with either a stomach bug or gallbladder problems.
Either way it's no fun!!!!!

I'm off to bed now...mostly just to lay not to sleep.

Hugs to all!!
Love you bunches!!!
Abbie

Thank you so! Hope you had a decent rest laying down Abbie,
Prayin for ya too,

Abbie, get better really fast!

No, a scone and a crumpet are different.

My gluten-free bread was flat and bubbly and weird like a giant crumpet lol. I probably could have described it better. The white powder on my bread probably looked more like an english muffin.

hmmmm, 5.59am here. Must be breakfast time. Can't eat any of those things at the moment. drat!

thank you Lara..might give the muffins a try but what is copha?

made sourdough bread yesterday (((moi)))


still shaking head over Calif. Excop-

Alffe, I'd replace the copha with something else.

Copha is a solid coconut oil. 100% fat. 98% of that is saturated fat.

It's traditionally used here in things like chocolate crackles or white christmas treats because it's melted before mixing and then it solidifies when it goes cold.
I don't know why they have put the copha in the muffin recipe really because you're not actually trying to set rice bubbles as one would in choc crackles. Then again maybe it's the coconut that gives them their unique flavour.

For muffins I guess you could just use butter or marg or a pure organic virgin coconut oil or what you call "shortening". It's a 1/4 cup. I saw something called Dr. Schlinck's Palmin which is apparently the same as copha and maybe available in a good deli there, don't know. I wouldn't bother really.

I make an incredible, fantastic, wonderful white fudge with unsweetened coconut MILK. But I've never heard of copha - or seen it in a store. It sounds good to me! I like anything coconut ..... I like anything fat.

Things maybe available somewhere, not necessarily everywhere, and definitely not nowhere [had to throw in Nowhere as Pooh_AC of SCS fame hereabouts claims to be from Nowhere]. I had not heard of Copha either. Will have to take a look, as I also like coconut stuff. Been saving a single piece of coconut candy from Christmas until I just cannot wait any longer.... before eating it. Maybe today.

Vegimite.... learned about that one up close and personal. Not a favorite in our house [a friend from New Zealand thought we needed to know about it].

I tried making gluten free, egg free, banana bread for our daughter...... what a FLOP!!! It was awful, worse than scones, not even suitable as a doorstop as folks tend to use fruitcake....

Hi Alffe, yes the Calif cop issue is way awful and off of the rational meter.... but then awful things are happening all around this land.

Prayin for all,

Hmmmmmmm...wren you told me about pure coconut oil which I got at Walmart and has now solidified.

Lara, I think buttter would be a wonderful substitute..like Julia Childs, I love butter!

Moi, on FB, wants me to try bagels from the same cookbook as the sourdough bread...but of course he changed their recipie...

On a serious note I was saddened to read about the Fashion student who leaped to her death from the Washington Bridge because she had been bullied. I didn't know that the Washington Bridge was a "popular" site...

We knew about the Golden Gate Bridge from the movie. ~sigh~

Hugs for the room...just been to the store for bread flower and sugar...I'll bet mine don't end up looking like Bagels!
