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.

      GALA 2026

      By kiera · Posted

      Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
