The apple spone is a layer of stewed apple on the bottom, with a sponge mix beaten well and then poured over the top, and it should rise nicely like a sponge cake. However, this was a different recipe I used and it was a leaden sponge so I will not be using THAT recipe again.Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-6941292323483666962017-02-02T11:17:07.111-08:002017-02-02T11:17:07.111-08:00Guess I'm as mad as a box of frogs then!!

We are set up to look like money-grabbers and buyers come in trying to "get a deal" like they see on tv. Hmmm. There is a lot more than just the actual buying price of the item - if it came from auction, there is the hanging around between lots, the fuel to get there, and anything from 15 to 22% buyer's premium & VAT on top of the hammer price. There is the cleaning, the research, the Unit rent, the travelling to the Unit to change around stock and put fresh in. One small wooden trunk took me EIGHT HOURS to strip old wallpaper from the inside. I got beaten down on price (dealer) and made no profit at all. THAT'S how it really works sometimes!Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-77484015590140678322017-02-02T10:33:54.365-08:002017-02-02T10:33:54.365-08:00Painting in the rain ? doesn't it spot or wash...Painting in the rain ? doesn't it spot or wash down or even dry ?<br />But I am happy you finished.<br />Now i need to find out what an apple sponge is.

The reductions the shops make are ridiculous and I would have thought just serve to make people think they will never buy from such a place. It makes the dealers look money-grabbing with their prices and I am sure most of them are just trying to make a decent living. I too wonder why they do it.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.com
