Cheap Lenses ???

Naw. Irish, mostly.

Slow learner, eh? :P

Not only am I skilled at making cakes (I've been baking on and off for over 35 years... oh damn! I'm old!) but I know how to make my own ganache, can make a pie crust that'll make Julia and Jacques weep with joy, and I make a risotto that has Italians pledge their allegience to me after one bite. (OK so that last one isn't baking but I had to boast anyway.)

(squint)

So listen here you suckling whelp, (imagine the shaking of a wooden spoon here) don't you sass your elders, or I'll box your ears and send you to your room with out any cake!

Wow,.... I am getting REALLY hungry reading your post!!! :P

Can you insult me some more while describing your cooking skills in greater detail???

Where are you now,.?

Could i swing by for lunch and we can argue about this over a bite to eat?
Risotto sounds nice... mmmmm... risotto.... :P

Posted over 19 years ago, was just a beginner with my digital rebel. All these years ago and I'm still here, more equipment, more experience, but still lots to learn.

Thanks for all the help so far, it's been fun!

I started to read this thread and then got down to your signature line showing you have a lot of great equipment and was confused for a couple of minutes. Then I noticed the 2004 date of your initial post.

You've come a long way!

Thanks for reading, been a long journey so far, but fun also. A little expensive as well, but the wife hasn't killed me yet.
