I figure, as it contains butter and trex (shortening), as long as those would in the fridge, am I right?

Can I use any other method other than a thermometer to check the temp of making a sugar syrup to 121 degrees

Can anyone give me a recipe for 'roll out fondant icing', in the US fondant icing is made using marsh mallows, does anyone know why or if this is better? And why don't we in the UK?

Also what is shortening (US again!) I know it is a solid fat but is our equivalent in the UK butter margarine or lard !

No guesses please I would like answers from those that know !!!!

Thanks in advance

Most people would say that they would give their life for their child, and yet as I have said before, it would be a little harder to promise this for your parents, all part of Nature and the continuing life pattern I suppose. But what would you do in the purely hypothetical senario where you did have to give your life for your child but this would mean leaving another child without you?

Would you choose to let both children live without you or let one child go ?

Where would you rather live? but what age are you?

Whats best for kids? City life offers lots to do and social development (street wise etc.,) but country life offers nice environment and less chance of drugs, crime etc.,

Thinking of moving there,(not on the air base) but what is the air traffic noise really like to live with? How often are you disturbed and how loud is it?

Any help would be appreciated

Any ideas for advertising slogan for roofers, something funny and apt- such as 'roofers love a night on the tiles' or 'roofers enjoy it on top' ........etc.,

I recently ordered a silver psp for my son from what I though was a uk website, as it was co.uk. This turned out to be from the US. The item arrived and wasn't silver but black, they enclosed a letter asking me to accept this as it was a good price. I do not wish to accept it but am now stuck as they wont answer e mails, if I return the item it will cost £60 ! fed ex yet how else to get my money back ? I assume as it was their fault sending the wrong item they should arrange for collection.

Any thoughts?

What is it with spelling nowadays? Whilst I appreciate that everyone can make the odd mistake, I am shocked by the terrible spelling of so many 'question askers' the most common ones being :

there - their

use of K for C

dat for that !

does this annoy anyone else?

There is to be a chamgagne gold PSP launched in Japan soon, does anyone know if it will be launched here? also if I brought one from Japan would it work with english games?

I see that sony are launching a new colour for PSP in Japan at the end of the month. Why not here?

If I purchased one from Japan does anyone know if it would work ok here (connectivity) and also be compatible with existing psp games, as I don't know a lot about them (its for a present!)

There are so many 'celebration' days like valentines day, mothers & fathers days, but how about a hate day - where you could send a message anonymously to someone you didn't like eg boss or nosey neighbour, telling them what you really thought of them. It'd be a good way of knowing if many people didnt like you enough to send one to you! What do you think and who would you send one to?

I'm looking for either a poem or quote that I heard once, about teaching children values in life, it has in it something like this:

If you want your child to be ........., show him ..........

values like patience, empathy etc.,

If anyone knows of it I'd be grateful if you'd let me know the details please,

I'm buying my new expected (1st) grandchilds pram, but have lost touch with whats trendy/functional and of course comfortable. My daughter is not sure either, any advice from people who have particularly the bugaboo or pliko pramette

I am throwing a baby shower and I need some photos of celebrities as babies for a game, I've searced high and low on the net but can't find any, has anyone got any good suggestions please?

I think new years eve is the most overated night of the year!

Its seems that everyone is expected to celebrate, no home parties are any good as everyone is so spread about and clubs, pubs and cabs all charge the earth !!

My son would love a dog, and I suggested getting a rescue greyhound, but my hubby will not entertain it. He wouldnt see any harm come to an animal but says he just dosent want one in the house. (Germs, mess, smells etc.,)

I can see where he's coming from after working hard for nice things in our house and generally he'd give our son the world, so he must feel quite strongly!

But I think its important for kids to feel responsible for something and learn all about life.. and death

Can anyone advise on software for me to buy for my son, he's 11yrs old plays piano and drums, I would like something for him to create music on the PC, like mixing sounds etc., (I dont know much about it!) I've heard of fruity loops but isnt this american? does anyone know anything about Magix music maker which I've seen? I dont want anything too complicated either, although he does pick things up quickly on PC.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Joke! I am in for a laugh!
