Annie's baking problems.w

I idratherbeshoppingMember
My other half was a baker his whole life.
He said the genaric has nothing to do with it.
That some items need baking powder to rise, some need baking soda and some a combination of both.
He said one of the best simple chocolate chip cookies are those made with that recipe on the Nestle Toll House morsels package. Let me know if you need it.

As for the Angel food cake not rising. He said even the slightest bit of oil or greese will cause it not to rise. Like if you coat the pan with Pam like things. Also a little of the egg yello mixed into the whites will do the same thing. Let me know please.

I know that 'oriogonal' is Ebayese for 'original' but what on earth is 'genaric' in the context of baking?
Tried doing a google and it is apparently some sort of Viagra!!
Does Lexie do a lot of baking, I wonder? Big Grin

Eh? Confused I read that six times, and it still makes no sense. Should I like coating a pan with Pam? Will she mind? Who is she? What things does she like? I think I will have to have a lie down! After reading this before I post it, of course Smile

Is USA 'baking soda' the same as bicarbonate of soda?

Well, since the origional was under gobble gobble,
I can understand how it sounds strange.

Generic would mean a store brand or plain box rather than a national brand. EG: Arm and Hammer would be a national brand of baking soda. Hyvee's would be a store brand.
Now the remark about the Pam or like is ment only for the making of an Angel Food Cake. Angel Food Cake can not have any oil, butter, margarine, Pam, etc. at all. Or, it will not rise and be that fluffy, airy cake that is expected.

That sounds like fun, Shop! Smile

No, I don't have a home there. I have some property, but I sold most everything there that was livable. I'm taking our MH down. I have a few friends that have invited us to stay with them, but not really sure what we will do. My husband may think he needs to go home as soon as we arrive. I hope not.

Ah, but you said genaric which is something to do with Viagra - do a google and you will see what I mean.

I thought that may be so, it was just that the sentence did not make sense as a whole, as if the words were in the wrong order, or there was some missing punctuation.
With reference to baking powder/baking soda, here in the UK, the former is just a mixture of bicarb and sodium tartrate, padded out with flour. If there is some acid in whatever it is you are baking, just bicarb is fine - it is all I use in my infamous carrot cake, for which I am asked the recipe by all who taste it Smile

Seriously, IMHO, good communication is a courtesy. That is just my opinion, though, although I can debate the reasons why I think this. If I say I cannot understand something, it means just that!
I once queried what someone meant by 'guiled with schrebs' Apparently the list moderator sussed it out as being 'gilded, with cherubs'
I take my hat off to anyone that can do this - I can't. I simply get an attack of CBA (cannot be a**ed) and give up.
If someone writes 'oriogonal' I usually read it as 'orry-oh-go-nal' and it is after when the sentence does not make sense that I mentally translate it to 'original' Maybe others do not read in this way - who knows?
