Hi all. I decided to email MM and Mr IT again, but be very pointed. This is the reply I received from Mr IT.
Hello
I was out so I didn't notice it was down. Will put it online in the meantime.
The problem is that probably we need to upgrade the server, but at this moment the value we make from the ads do not cover the cost.
We don't want to make money from the forum, but we need to figure a way that the forum pays it's costs.
Do you have any ideias how?
We are talking of a cost of around 100€ a year. But I can give you a drill down of the costs and we an figure a more stable solution.
Regards
I may reply, or may not. There seems to be lots of ads and I’m sure they must make enough money. I hope everyone is well. ❌❌

Surprise everyone. The forum is back, sadly we have no idea for how long. Judy and I have been in contact with MM but haven’t had a lot of feedback. In fact my last email to him was quite pointed. And said that obviously the forum was dead. I didn’t get a reply.
I hope everyone is well and life is fun. ❌❌❌❌

Toffee BiscuitsIngredients100g butter 90g sugar 175g flour 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 2 tablespoons golden syrup PreparationHeat oven to 180° and prepare a tray. Beat the butter and sugar on speed 4 until well combined. About 1-2 minutes. Scrape the bowl down. Add the rest of the ingredients. Knead until combined. Take the dough out and divide into 3. Roll each into a sausage shape about 1 inch thick. (2cm I think) Place onto the tray and squash down gently with your hand. Space them well apart as they spread. Bake for 12-14 minutes and cut diagonally while they are warm. These have a delicious flavour. I may try malt or molasses next time.

I received an email from Thermomix about an hour ago. Apparently a server on Recipe Community has been compromised. I was on there last week and they said my details had been hacked. No passwords were compromised but names and addresses were. https://www.recipecommunity.com.au/cms/news/media-statement-7-feb-2025/8701?_api=yI find it scarey but DD said to just be very careful.

Ingredients405g can apricot nectar + 1 cup water 375g dried apricots Lemon 1/3 cup juice 1 cup white sugar 1/2 cup toasted slivered almonds. PreparationToast the slivered almonds. I then put all the ingredients into the bowl. Cook on Varoma for about 20 minutes. I usually put the Varoma base on top to allow it to evaporate easily. Mine needed a little bit more cooking. Place into hot, sterilised jars When cool store in the fridge.

Hubby was over helping our elderly friend today, as he does each week. He came home with 3 Bermaline bread tins. They are different and apparently the bread was cooked so that it had a flat top. It used malt and wheaten grain and was quite heavy. I've been reading up about it and have become quite fascinated. I THINK it was around the 1930's or so. I was wondering if anyone had heard of it? DH is going to clean them up and I plan to try and make some. I'm doing lots of googling and reading.

I just had a look at who was on the forum and what they were looking at. I was the only member. There were 5 people registering to become members, interesting as we rarely get new members. What surprised me was the number of people (20-30) who were looking at the profile of others. Some members had 3 or 4 others looking at their profile. I wonder why? Do people use the forum as a source of emails to send spam to?

Turn the oven to 180*C. Prepare a loaf tin. 2.Blitz the carrot and set aside. 3. Blitz the zucchini and set aside. 4. Place flour, brown sugar, zucchini, carrot, walnuts, cinnamon and nutmeg into a large bowl. 5. Place butterfly into the bowl. Add oil and eggs. Mix on speed 4 until very well combined. 6. Pour this into the flour mixture. 7. Stir to combine and place into the prepared loaf tin. 8. Bake for 1 hour, until cooked. Leave to stand for 5 minutes before turning out.

Macadamia and Cranberry CookiesThese a re as little different to most biscuits as they are supposed to be flat!Ingredients185g unsalted butter 105g macadamias 220g brown sugar ( I used a bit less) 110g caster sugar 225g SR flour 75g plain flour 1 egg 1 egg yolk 100g cranberries PreparationPreheat oven to 180* and prepare at least 2 trays. Toast the macadamias. Place butter in bowl and melt at 50*, speed 1 until done. Add flours, sugars, egg and egg yolk (you may like to give them a light beat first) Knead until mixture comes together. Add in nuts and cranberries. Mix in by hand or on knead. Roll into balls (about 1 tablespoon) and place on trays about 6cm apart. Flatten a little and bake for around 12 minutes. Leave to cool on the trays as they are delicate. This is based on a recipe in WW Christmas Cakes and Puddings. They are very nice. I may try them with pistachios and cranberries to make them more Christmassy.
