Somebody Kinda Loopy22-Jun-24 07:06 pm
Last Tuesday, I opened a packet of six lamingtons and while I was counting how many pieces of desiccated
coconut they each had on them, pieces kept falling off and I had to start over. .Anybody had that happen to them
while you are popping bubble wrap ?

    Haven't quite worked out yet if I am being dazzled by science or baffled by bullshit but enjoy reading "Loopy's" posts??

      Is there a progress report or is this just for the fun of licking off the coconut !

                Never mind the coconut, I'm more concerned about how quickly I can get cream on it. Chocolate is my favourite & my husband likes the raspberry ones.

                  I can never get past 5 before all the lamingtons are scoffed. I like the red ones best so the chokky ones go first………..lol

                        Last Tuesday l only popped bubble wrap and thought about plans for Wednesday's frivolities... I've put myself on restrictions since my last desiccated coconut count where I had to suck each piece carefully out of a giant darrel lea rocky road.. They then all had to be lined up along the edges of my coffee table to airdry ensuring none were stuck together .. then most unfortunately some terribly forgetful person decided to turn on the overhead fans.. I can't remember if it was me.... but Wednesday was a much easier day .

                          That's uncanny, I can't remember how many words I managed to make with my last can of Heinz Alphagetti because of the stupid overhead fans. But I think it was a most productive can. Although the tomato sauce really makes a mess on my scrabble board.

                          You've never had a lamington Allin? It's a square piece of light sponge cake usually with a thin layer of raspberry jam in the middle ,, ( cream also if you are very lucky !) Then it's dipped in a cocoa and icing sugar sauce and rolled all over in desiccated coconut . Australian delight ,goes down well with a a good cuppa tea. Get on to it son!

                        This is a problem that a lot of people have and I'm glad you brought it up.....use a fine needle to release any pressure in the packaging ...then gently remove the top of the packaging with a sharp scalpel....leaving the base and sides...then apply several layers of spray glue (hairspray can be used) and allow it to fully dry before counting..I find that usually works...(and of course when you have finished counting..you can spray them all over with glue and throw them at the walls...family members..and/or people you don't like..) ..if you usually throw them on the floor and just jump on them...give them a light dusting in flour first or they will stick to you feet....

                          I could never do that to a lamington. Once I have finished counting the desiccated coconut on one of them I take a bite and laugh heartily after each bite and say "gotcha". It is quite calming..you must try it !

                          I don't like the glue taste...maybe I could just sniff them?

                        there's a reason you called yourself loopy.
