This is the second post I went to and I love the video!
Thank you! I had no idea what a syllabub was! And this from the person who created my own dictionary as I read Jane Eyre the first time – pre-computer mind you! I guess I’ve gotten lazier as things have gotten easier. In fact, when I first saw him pick up his straw whisk, I thought “Thank heavens for my electric beaters!” Before he even mentioned it. That does sound yummy though. I’m definitely trying that one! (With my electric mixer!)
looks fun
Looks tasty! This is a must try for me!
Oh my goodness this looks yummy! I will definitely be trying this – and I must say I LOVE the wooden whisk 🙂 I need one of those! Thanks for all these great recipes, they are going in my stash 🙂
I found this fascinating.
