Why is there such a large portion of the feminist movement so against trans culture. Trans people have been some of the biggest advocates for supporting allegedly oppressed groups. Why is it suddenly okay to for feminists (a formally oppressed group) to oppress trans people (currently oppressed group) why?

Raisin cookies are the reason I have trust issues. I bit into what I thought was a chocolate chip cookie and it was a fecking raisin cookie Disgraceful.
btw what is a shop bought "home made " dessert
I'm confused, please help. I'm easily confused though.

I want chocolate mousse cake. I probably even have the ingredients but it feels a bit like I'll get a knock on the door for inappropriate debauchery if I make one right now. Might need to open some wine to get past the guilt.

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 09/04/2020 15:09

Away with all this fancy dessertery!

I want a bread-and-butter pudding with chopped-up bits of dark chocolate instead of raisins, and I haven't got any bread.

Puddings and cakes are either worth making properly or not at all. A good "home made" shop bought version will be far nicer than "home made" from a packet

Can not argue with this

(And i am thinking very hard of an argument...)

Danceswithwarthogs · 09/04/2020 14:15

Yep, but I’m not spending hours of my life and organic whipping cream/fresh lemons etc on something my children will only eat because it’s made into the shape of a racing car.

Ah well, each to their own Dido.

IAmFleshIAmBone · 09/04/2020 14:10

Feminism is dead because we thought it was more fun to talk about puddings Confused well, shit.

DidoLamenting · 09/04/2020 14:08

The packet mix for the lemon bit of lemon meringue pie, which my mum has always used, is powder (the thickener I presume) with a red pearl which contains the lemon flavour and dissolves when you add it all to (IIRC) hot milk

I would never make pudding from a packet or cake from a cake mix. Puddings and cakes are either worth making properly or not at all. A good "home made" shop bought version will be far nicer than "home made" from a packet.

We used to get chocolate buttons with our rice pudding/semolina/fisheye slop.

Blancmonge is awful and cold custard just needs to get in the bin.

ThePankhurstConnection · 09/04/2020 13:35

I think the perfect lockdown drink is a Bloody Mary. Fresh lemon juice and a serious quantity of tabasco.....

Oh now you're talking - my favourite drink. Try it with a touch of wasabi too.

ThePankhurstConnection · 09/04/2020 13:33

I think this was the recipe.. I added a bit more lemon and a hefty salt sprinkle.

Thank you for making the thread worth it. Smile

I'd imagined the lumps in bubble tea to be like that.

No need for tedious lemon squeezing etc with the magic packet. (Which I still think is like lemon blancmange).

ScrimpshawTheSecond · 09/04/2020 13:26

like a dense palmier, more of a cracker texture. It has a wash of a kind of sugar syrup which is sprinkled with salt. The lemon filling is quite firm and sweet, flavoured with lemon oil.

I thought pron was frowned upon on this board?

Winesalot · 09/04/2020 13:12

Well while I love Lemon crisps. Nothing quite like the melting chocolate experience of a Tim tam dipped in tea. It is like tea AND my own version of a chocolate fondue (although I really detest actual chocolate fondues).

ErrolTheDragon · 09/04/2020 13:10

I think you may have misunderstood the references upthread to rabbit shaped moulds.

HotelBravo · 09/04/2020 13:06

If I use a penis shaped mould when making a Blancmange, does that make it cannibalism? Or is it still just a milk pudding in a different shape??
I'm not making any comparisons to anything else here......😉

mummmy2017 · 09/04/2020 13:04

So do you think when there were protests about tourists taking over beaches and towns abroad, they actually realised if everyone stayed away it would be like this?

DidoLamenting · 09/04/2020 13:02

Now I want lemon meringue pie

It's one of my least favourite puddings. It's an effort from scratch if you make the pastry, squeeze lemons, make the lemon curd and the meringue topping for an end result which is quite dull and oddly less than the sum of its parts.

Datun · 09/04/2020 13:02

How did I miss this earlier? Imagine being so fragile and egotistical that you consider women discussing pudding to be hostile to you.

And imagine being able to kill an entire movement just by chatting for a few hours about milk pudding.

We have a superpower.

RadicalFern · 09/04/2020 12:53

Nigella has an AMAZING recipe for a homemade G&T jelly. It's delicious and also very dangerous because it slips down so nicely...

Feminism is dead thanks to stupidity and hostility in this post

Trans people have been some of the biggest advocates for supporting allegedly oppressed groups.

This sentence is only true if it continues as follows:

"Trans people have been some of the biggest advocates for supporting allegedly oppressed groups, by cuckooing in on a genuinely oppressed group, making it all about them and playing a massive, shoulder-chipped victim card to win Gold, Silver and Bronze in the Female sex category at the Oppression Olympics"

DancelikeEmmaGoldman · 09/04/2020 12:44

The pastry in a lemon crisp biscuit isn’t very sweet or rich, it’s flaky like a dense palmier, more of a cracker texture. It has a wash of a kind of sugar syrup which is sprinkled with salt. The lemon filling is quite firm and sweet, flavoured with lemon oil. It’s quite an odd, old-fashioned biscuit, there’s nothing else quite like it.

I cannot yield, even to mint Tim Tams, mainly because I’ve never been a fan of the mint, chocolate pairing.

Creme Brûlée is the empress of custards. I may have bought a kitchen blowtorch for no other purpose than caramelising the sugar on a creme brûlée. Blush

Oh yeah, the death of feminism. Announced by someone standing knee deep in a viper pit of radfems.

SarahInAccounts · 09/04/2020 12:42

Hmm. I only read the first page.

I seem to have intruded into a cooking thread.

Trans people have been some of the biggest advocates for supporting allegedly oppressed groups.

And also responsible for rape threats against women they view as TERFs. And Lesbians who don't want anything to do with their lady dicks.

They need to sort out their own people before they will get general acceptance.
