BlueCrab - Flakey Pastry Baker for the Thingite Army

Nowt like a good bit of home cooking on the front-lines of ideological warfare

BlueCrab - Flakey Pastry Baker for the Thingite Army, hereby proclaim'ed!

*bangs gabble*

Here is your Regulation Titanium Spork .

The main Thingite forums are N3, The B.O.E and right now the Collapsed Ruins - you'll find links to all of these on the Manifesto.

Welcome to The Thingites!

Clive

P.S - Where do you stand on the vexed issue of croissants?

Croissants? What's to debate?

They must be made with butter, not veg. shortening - that's the only definitive as far as I'm concerned. They're best warm but fine cold. Raspberry jam's my favorite but to each his own, and they make lousy french toast.

Or are we talking about weapons? Suppose they could be filled with stealthy stuff - wasabi powder in pistachio paste, kind of thing...?

BlueCrab, covered in sourdough starter...

Greetings. I'm here in my Official Capacity as Welcomer of the Newly Converted. So welcome to the glorious ranks of the Thingites.



Boris, you silly little spider, what're you doing here *laugh* Can you smell cheesecake? *to BlueCrab* Are you any good at making cheesecake, my friend? OnlyBoris is partial to a bit of cheesecake, aren't you?

From the Desk of:
Plebis - Arch Recruiting Sergeant, and sayer of 'Sodit!'

Welcome, BlueCrab - Flakey Pastry Baker for the Thingite Army!
Could you make me a loaf of Sourdough with Rosemary?

Looks like a baker's going to be in high demand here

I forsee you will become a great master one day.

BTW, Plebis, you're fooling no-one. You don't have a desk

Shhhh! BC didn't know that.

I've got the one my computer's sitting on!

Ok, I'll give you that. I don't even have one of those

BTW, you don't need a desk to purchase stationary.

True... Ok, I'll give you that one.

Fulfilling your post admirably Aximilli!

Thanks, Warlord *Salutes*

An honourable mention for Brother Plebis also - never let it be said an empty stomach, a prelidiction for bread and cakes and the fulfillment of The Divine Calling of Thing are opposites unable to be reconciled.

Thank you Clive, Aximill, Plebis, and Boris - quite a welcoming committee!

I do indeed make cheesecake. It's hard to get people to eat it here, though - too many carbs, too much fat... maybe I should try mini cakes! Does Boris prefer chocolate swirl or cinnamon cream to start?

Sourdough with rosemary, no problem. I made some rosemary focaccia the other day, it was loverley.
Boule, baguette, or sandwich loaf?

Clive, can I make anything for you? Killer brownies, chocolate fudge, biscotti of many kinds... I don't get many chances to bake now, so I'll do it all online!

By the by I'm a very skilled procrastinator and the Flakey in my name doesn't only refer to the crusts on my Cornish pasties...

I'm partial to a bit of flapjack, since you ask.

For your repertoire:

< cupcake > =

< donut > =

< cake > =

< xmaspud > =

< cheesecake > =

< chef > = or possibly.... < scientist > =

Just close the brackets by deleting the unnecessary spaces between the brackets.

Did someone say ?

Yes Amy, someone did indeed mention Cheesecake. I'm sure Boris won't mind sharing, will you? No, you're a nice spider.

BlueCrab, I don't think Boris minds what's in his cheesecake, as long as it looks like cheesecake. Just give him whatever you've got.

Well I've got some shrimp here, but...

Yes, shrimp for Boris... rosemary pine-nut sourdough bread for Plebis, my Dad's buckwheat flapjacks for Clive... Amy? ?

I still think the stealth wasabi-pistachio croissants are a good idea . You can probably talk a person into anything after one of those, much less a sensible proposition like the Manifesto...

This bread is delicious!
