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.

      Tree Killer – Seeking Advice on Dealing with Toxic Neighbours

      By vladi · Posted

      Using the smart CCTV cameras is your best strategy - particularly if they have adequate infra-red capability. Setting them to be triggered by line crossing or areas of intrusion is worthwhile setting up as is linking them to a PIR sensor. The PIR could also be used to activate a sounder but that might upset your other neighbours. I have a few cameras around our property and I enjoy reviewing the recordings and apart from foxes and birds, I catch the occasional opportunistic thief on camera - like this one last Tuesday. If you need any help, please drop me a PM. S7.mp4

      Not in Ed, but I was in NE England over the weekend and saw an otter in the wild! Never seen one before, it was quite lovely.

      Well unless the heron got them later, there were the  two cootlets. I think some others of this year's babies must have escaped the heron. Many years ago (and possibly still, though I never see them any more) there was a whole heron family on the island  - mum, dad and youngster. I don't know how long herons live. Maybe this one is the grown up youngster.
