SamH Posted March 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Just spent the good part of my evening moving my 200 odd angel fry into a bucket, removing their aquarium from the stand, shortening the stand by a couple of blocks and replacing their aquarium on the stand. Added a tank I bought off TradeMe too (they just fit) and filled it up only to find it had a leak at the back. This is the LAST time I'm buying a second hand tank! More fool me for not leak testing it, can't take people's word for it these days :an!gry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 It may not have leaked when they sold it but a little stress on the move back to your place could be enough to create one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted March 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 You think so? We were as cautious as ever, thankfully they've agreed to take it back for a full refund. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 The slightest twist when lifting may cause a leak, no matter how careful you are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 If it leaks from being picked up empty the the RTV has deteriorated and I would pull it apart and re glue the whole thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 My birthday cake - husband-made - pavlova roll filled with banoffee, coated in vanilla cream, sprinkled with cocoa... it lasted about 5 minutes. The filling is just caramel condensed milk, a bit of lemon and mashed banana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#!CrunchBang Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 He made that? Impressive. Is he a pastry chef? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 That looks delicious! He is a very clever husband and sets a good example to others in the birthday department. Recipe please :bggrn: PS Making your own caremalised condensed milk, called Dulce de leche, is much nicer than buying a tin of caremalised condensed milk. A lot more flavour!

Sophia Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 It's this pavlova roll with his DIY filling as mentioned before. And not rolled up by the long side, rolled up by the short side so there is more to roll and curl in. Doing it by the recipe would make more of a log than a roll. http://www.aww.com.au/food/recipes/2003 ... lova-roll/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 Thanks Sophia :love: I assume the "banoffee" is just caramelised condensed milk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sophia Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Thanks Sophia :love: I assume the "banoffee" is just caramelised condensed milk? Yep - mashed banana, lemon juice, mixed straight into the caramelised condensed milk from a tin. You could go all cordon bleu and boil a tin of regular stuff if you like though :slfg: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 I shall! It tastes way superior to the tinned stuff I baked a Lemon Pound Cake today to use up some leftover Greek yoghurt and lemons. Smells lovely here! :thup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaide Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Permiantly for how long? :ton: Yeah ok, so I re-opened my account but only because I'd forgotten to d/l videos and pics before closing it (for some reason I no longer had them on my HD). Anyway, got the vids but damned if I can find a good way to d/l all the pics without doing one at a time. I've tried various programme suggestions but they don't work. Even the "d/l all your data" thing from FB was naff, it just gave me html data with no photos etc. :fshi: I'll have another crack this weekend.

Caryl Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 I think the fish are missing Dena as she feeds them when she's here but went back home to Christchurch this morning :-? I have just put the royal icing over the almond icing of the fruit cake I have made. It is my parents' 60th wedding anniversary today so I am making the cake look extra special. Pity I hate fruit cake, so won't be eating it, but as mum said "It's my anniversary and I want a fruit cake. I don't care if you don't like it, your dad and I do!" They are going to celebrate by offering morning tea to their friends after church on Sunday, so I will be busy baking tomorrow as I am providing the goodies. One of them might be this as they sound delicious! !drool: My son found the recipe yesterday and I think it needs to be made. :smln: What do you think Sophia?
