					Hiya All,
  Could someone provide a recipe for the hardened chocolate coating, similar consistency & thickness on magnum vanilla ice creams?
  Thanks, Cerise

					Hi Everyone,
  Is there a way to make chocolates shiny?  Maybe mixing them longer at a certain heat?
  Thanks, Cerise

					Hi All,
  If there is already a link to this, please give it to me.  If there is none, could someone provide the recipe?  I have googled it but I still would like to hear from anyone here.
  Thanks heaps, Cerise

					Hello All,
  I called Alfalfa House, an organic shope in Enmore, Sydney, Australia & 30 grams of Agar Agar is around $11 which I think is expensive.  As a child I remember my mother using a dried seaweed which looked a puffed paper-like substance which she dissolved in water.  Any alternative folks?
  Thanks, Cerise

					Hello all,
  Don't know how to post this properly as I am a newie so I cut-&-paste my earlier blog & I don't know where it went.  I think it's superfluous to post all of the recipe but this is how I cook it without oil.  I like pressing it because it cooks really quick.  Hope this helps.  Cheers, Cerise

  Thank you all for welcoming me.  I apologise for throwing up on you all.  I mean that was the longest intro anyone has posted, I think.  This is the first forum I belong.  As a token of my appreciation, I was going to post a recipe that my daughter & I use for bonding ('cause it's lots of preparation - with a TM - I'm sure it won't be, as the vegies will be cut for me) which is making spring rolls.  You already have that here so I just want to add that I don't fry mine & eating it with raw rice paper is not as palatable.  Mine has sliced prawns (bought fresh, not cooked) & some minor additions like mung bean sprouts.  To brown them, I use my sandwich presser with a teflon coating on both sides.  Mine has a slider to regulate how much lower you want the presser to go so I just lower the lever enough not to squash the roll.  If I am in a hurry for it to brown, I just flatten it.  Ingredients are half cooked anyway & my guests do not mind them squashed as the taste is still there.  A girlfriend just bought a stoneware (you can fry with no oil) & she said she just rolls the spring rolls on it & they brown faster.  One lady here uses an oven & a mini one is great.  A little oil, especially if they are good oils, is good for the body so sometimes I spray oil.  My daughter is allergic to wheat so for her I use the Vietnamese rice paper & you don't need to fry that.  In the past, when I used to fry them, I got so fed up as, soon as a batch was taken off the fryer, they're gone even by the time the next batch is ready so I make sure the last one is for me; I made myself a whopper.  Hope the unfried bit is useful.
  By the way, how long is this blog been going on?

					Hello All,
  Is there anything I can do to prevent my concocted chocolate from melting sooner at room temperature versus the shop-bought ones?  I used chocolate melts.  Could be my procedure or the type of chocolates I used?
  Thank you. Cerise

					Hi All,
  Does anyone know how to make wafer biscuits without the fillings in-between the biscuit?
  Or, does anyone know where I can buy them in Australia?
  Thanks, Cerise

					Hi All,
  Do you have a quicker version of making cream cheese or a substitute for Philadephia cream cheese?  To make it, what I know is you hang a lump of yoghurt in a cheese cloth over a bucket for 2 days to let the whey drip.  Then when the yoghurt is liquid-free just season it with whatever you like.
  For substitute would ricotta do?  I think they are cheaper.
  Thanks, Cerise
