I am panicking!


I am in the last stages of making some rather special chocolate brownies for a double celebration drinks party this evening (a birthday/an engagement). I was just about to add/sift the last ingredient into the mix - 25g of cocoa - when it dawned on me that 25g doesn't show up on my scales (it's too small an amount). Nor do I possess a 25g spoon. Could someone tell me - what the hell is 25g? I.e. would a teaspoon do it (though I doubt it, or the recipe would have said so - it did in the case of salt)?


THIS IS URGENT: the mix (including the eggs) has been beaten etc. It just needs the addition of the cocoa and to go into the oven.



Thanks in advance.

Thanks everyone - so are we in agreement? ONE HEAPED TABLE SPOON?


And Mr. Pallywotsitpoos - thanks for the advice, but these brownies are made from the heart for a very special group of people. As good as the EDD brownies are, they would not contain that special ingredient (love).


Please confirm.

I would say according to this level spoon - http://www.hintsandthings.co.uk/kitchen/measures.htm


I'd say to check add 10 spoons to weighing scales and if it comes in at 250g (or whatever it will measure at) then you know it's level spoon - otherwise try same thing with heaped spoon

Right! They are in the oven. The only fear I have now is that the mix looked a bit "flat". Presumably that was because it had been left standing for too long while I faffed about with the 25g issue. We'll see.


Also thanks to VBC and Matthew123 - I was too panicked to respond to your helpful posts earlier.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.

      Signed, and I will share it elsewhere, thank you for posting this. It's got nearly 70,000 signatures at present, and apparently runs till February.

      There’s a couple of Gov petitions going on in relation to fireworks at the moment but this one is for banning them entirely except organised displays if anyone wants to sign. This is the only sensible way forward in my view. No one should be able to let them off in gardens or anywhere like that, it’s crazy. I am surprised some of you have said it hasn’t been as bad this year. I live near DKH Saino and it’s been absolutely terrible my way for days. This petition gained about 20,000 just in the last day or so so clearly the appetite is there! https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/732559
