Hello Rod!



 [recipe comparison deleted]



 RS> Yeah, it looks like the same thing with just the usual variation you see

 RS> between two different cook books idea of the best way to produce a

 RS> particular end result.



Definitely recipes for the same dessert.



 RS>> 50g     2 oz    butter



 AW>> 1 tablespoon of butter.



 RS> Thats quite a bit less, say 25g ish



 RS>> 50g     2 oz    flour



 AW>> 1 tablespoon of self raising flour.



 RS> Thats a hell of a lot less and seems much to low to me. Would certainly

 RS> explain the flopped result, not enough flour to form the sponge out of

 RS> which is mostly the flour. And it cant be that your recipe is for say 2

 RS> people, the eggs and lemon match.



Maybe tablespoons, like everything else in QLD, are larger than normal ;-)



 RS>> 225ml   8 fl oz milk



 AW>> 14 cups of milk.



 RS> A bit low, but I cant remember what happened between the old imperial

 RS> cup and the metric one.



(BTW, mine is for 1 & 1/4 cups for anyone that's reading)



I'll have to measure the exact quantities of ingredients used to make the

QLD edition of this pudding. My mother may be unconsciously or absently

adding extra of some things.



AW> She looked around just in time to

AW> see a jumper hit the water with an almighty splash. Turns out he was

AW> a top student at a private school who just couldn't handle the exam

AW> and family pressures anymore. Very sad case, a bit like the character

AW> in the movie "Dead Poets Society".



RS> Hadnt thought about harbour views quite like that before, 'damn, there

RS> goes another' |-)



My girlfriend has sharp eyes. She occasionally even notices me pedalling

northwards on the bikeway of the coathanger.



AW> He shouldn't have been jumping from the Western side of the bridge

AW> anyway, being that it's a bikeway with no pedestrian access.



RS> Spoken like a true bureaucrat |-)



Ouch!



Actually I've had an ongoing war with recalcitrant Harbour bridge bikeway

users for about 7 years now. There's two simple signs at each end of the

path for non-english tourists to understand, as well as warnings in english

threatening a $500 fine for offenders. Still they do it. The only tourists

that have an excuse are the blind ones and I can't see why they'd be doing

something scenic like that anyway.



Mainly it's the ones that walk three abreast that cause me the most

heartache because when I see them ahead of me (back view), I feel the need

to speed up and try and fit through the 15 centimetre gap they leave. This

involves a gamble that one of them won't dodge at the last moment.



There's a beautiful pedestrian/jogger walkway on the eastern side of the

bridge BTW.





Regards, Alan
