I shall ask my mother! There're a lot online, and I wouldn't know which ones are good.

Somedays it would really be nice to know a decently classy lady who could sit at my table, eating tea and cupcakes with me.
Like an accessory. Only she talks and laughs at delightfully at my stories.
Then I put her in a box until I need her again.
I've had baked goods shipped through the mail before. One of my favorite treats is coffee cake. When I was in college, my mom baked a coffee cake. She cut it up in large neat squares, placed cardboard and wax paper between the stacked layers, and shipped it off to me. The entire cake.
It was worth it.
Hrm just did a google search for coffee cake. Can't find it exactly. This picture is somewhat close, but without the apples and nuts in it. It's a recipe from my great-grandmother, so it's likely a german folk recipe. Delicious anyways.
Coffee cake is the best kind of cake! And I usually don't like cake.

Give it a year or two and Japan will have those ready.
I would wake up at my friend's house and ask my self, what would I do with a construction sign, the answer is, hide it under their couch.
They were discovered when they moved.
My sister Melanie has an old caravan stuffed full of her old artings - paintings, drawings, screen prints, sculptures and what not.
Also, about two dozen street signs. We got bored one school holiday night... Speed signs, traffic control signs, warning signs, we've got at least one of pretty much everything.
Thanks @Liiya! I brought it into work and my coworkers are demolishing it while simultaneously cursing my name (because they've been trying to eat healthier)
1. Put in 2 American tablespoons of syrup and sugar. If you can't find golden syrup (I believe it's also at Cost Plus World Market) you could probably substitute molasses, although these are darker and will give it a slightly less sweet flavour.
2. Use 7 oz of digestive biscuits (if you have a Cost Plus World Market, these are found there; otherwise graham crackers are your nearest thing).
3. Don't add the raisins until after you've boiled the mixture. Add them with the digestives.
4. A pack of instant hot chocolate is fine for drinking chocolate!
5. Double the amount of chocolate! Well, probably around 10 oz. You certainly need more than 6 oz.
6. As this is not being baked, a thin swiss roll tin is certainly not essential. Mine was fine in a 9 inch round cake tin.
And according to that site, tablespoons are different sizes in the UK and US!
Yes, yes they are, and it is immensely frustrating.
Some people say "oh it's okay because the proportions will still be the same" but OH WHOOPS WHAT ABOUT THE EGGS, HUH?
WHAT ABOUT THEM?
It would just be easier if things were listed by weight instead of volume. So much easier.
But if you had a recipe that called for sixty five grams worth of egg and your egg weight fifty eight grams, would you actually crack another egg.
Recipes are usually robust enough to take the change.
Well not in the case of an egg. When a recipe says a "large egg" it is asking for an egg that has been classified as that specific size, which means it has x amount of white to y amount of yolk.
And I'm mainly talking about baking. With other methods of cooking you have HEAPS of wiggle room.

But the amount of flour you need for stuff can change depending on the humidity of the kitchen, which the results in looking at it and playing the, until it looks good game.

Additionally, even though digital scales are all the rage, very few actually state their range of accuracy with can be plus or minus a few percent regardless. So even if you are measuring to the gram, unless you are using a set of counter balance scales you still aren't being that accurate.
Oh, hey. I always set the volume on any product that has numbers on it's sound output levels at even numbers.
Even worse, Amy's car stereo has a little logo on the volume knob. If that knob is not vertical, it bugs the shit out of me... Good thing the car has steering wheel stereo controls...

Man, you have shit that measures down six figs, unless it states what the variance for error is you could be very well out by ten percent.
I mean, I like scales, and for flour they are a better measurement than cups, and they are also more convenient as you hit tare and keep on going, but they don't consider a bunch of stuff and your measurement is never actually going to be accurate.

anything with numbers... a/c temperatures, TV volume control
always multiples of 4 or a number ending in 5 or 0

Some numbers are better than others too
65 is better than 60, for example
85 is also a nice number

Furthermore, scales based upon electric resistance, which digital scales function from are still based of gravity, which is a function of d^2 between the masses which means different elavations have differing weights further messing up your measurements.
Moral of the story. Nothing is ever accurate. Cook from your heart!

@The Dave Fella, yes, it does. However, I bet you could take them out. Or substitute with glacier cherries or marshmallows.
But then I managed to burn some so, I fail.

@Janson - that tiffin looks lovely, mmm!
it was her idea and i helped her but she did most of it

You know what, this is actually pretty tasty, so I'll post the recommendations I used with my alterations:
http://www.rampantscotland.com/recipes/blrecipe_tiffin.htm
That's the recipe, and these are my notes:
1. Put in 2 American tablespoons of syrup and sugar. If you can't find golden syrup (I believe it's also at Cost Plus World Market) you could probably substitute molasses, although these are darker and will give it a slightly less sweet flavour.
2. Use 7 oz of digestive biscuits (if you have a Cost Plus World Market, these are found there; otherwise graham crackers are your nearest thing).

6. As this is not being baked, a thin swiss roll tin is certainly not essential. Mine was fine in a 9 inch round cake tin.
As opposed to British? :rotate:
We do have a World Market, which should be the same thing.

About what you would expect an orange to be.
Medium is apple, small is peach.
I mean I know what they are, people get pretty hung up on measurements though.

do you SEE what TEA does to THEE
the tiffin is all gone
mostly in my mouth (but a good 2/3rds went to coworkers' mouths)
I didn't even have tea with it!
