Terrible Bike service

[Captain Fastbastard Mayhem]

Eish, that sounds like the 'bad gateway' error the Hub is giving me today. Feel better, squire!

Lol. it's gone now but was pretty *** on the day

When I first saw this thread I thought it would be about a terrible service that was given to a bike but it turned out to be about poor service the OP felt he received from the bike shop. I guess the title is a bit misleading.

 

The thread became increasingly funny as I read it. Once again, top form Hubbers!

Variations on koeksisters (should it not be koeksusters?) look tasty - must try for breakfast before training, then I won't need to eat white bread with honey..

 

Oops that seems to morph with another thread

 

Anyway, when I was out cycling in the Cradle on Saturday, I saw a lady that looked distinctly like a spring flower-bed mixed with santa clause. Did anyone else spot her?

So have anyone made Popcorn Skollies' Koeksisters yet? curious to know how they came out..

I'll organise for when we ride. Eddy remind me to syrup some the night before.

I'm trying to think of something constructive to say. Some sort of valuable contribution to this thread. And all I can think of is this recipe for koeksisters.

 

You will need: 4 cups cake flour, 2 cups self raising flour, ⅓ cup sugar, 2.5ml salt, 10g (1 pkt) instant yeast, 10 ml fine cardamom, 10ml fine ginger, 10ml fine cinnamon, 10ml aniseed, 1 large egg, 15ml oil, 30ml butter, 1½ cup hot water and 1½ cup) milk.

 

You will need oil for deep frying seperately and some desiccated coconut for sprinkling later.

 

For the syrup you will need: 1 cup sugar, 1 cup water, 1 cinnamon stick and 2 cardamon pods.

 

Mix flour with spices, sugar, yeast and salt. Melt butter in hot water and mix milk. To dry ingredients add egg, oil and milk-water mixture. Mix thoroughly to form a soft smooth dough. Leave to rise for about 1- 2 hours in a warm place. Once risen, moisten hands with oil and roll dough into a sausage shape and cut into 2cm slices. Set aside to rise again. Lightly stretch slices to form an oval shape and deep fry in medium hot oil until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.

 

Making the syrup. Place all the ingredients in a large saucepan and bring to a slow boil, stirring to ensure sugar does not burn. Stir until the sugar syrup becomes slightly sticky. Boil the koeksisters in it for 1- 2 minutes and remove with a slotted spoon. Sprinkle with a little of the dessicated coconut and serve hot with some tea and a good skinne story.

 

That was amazing. Can't vouch for the recipe, but as a response

Oops, koesisters, koeksisters and Cape Malay Koeksisters. Always knew of the first two. Didn't know there's a third but that recipe sounds a lot like the one I know as koesisters. All I know is I like it!

Bro. You ain't heard nothing yet if you only heard of koeksisters and koeksisters. There is no "just" Cape Malay Koeksisters. There's enough variety to deal with any pallet. Except it must be added, "The low carb animal". LOL

[brucem76]

Conclusion to this thread - Koeksusters > Koesisters by a mile. Mods please close thread

I am not on banting but I do watch how much carbs I consume and when. Trying to keep it to the absolute minimum.

 

But a good koesister or koeksister is hard to beat!

So we still don't know which bike shop this is that we should avoid?

I am partial to a proper lemon meringue. Not the sugary brick of crap they have at most coffee shops, but the moist, lemony, biscuity, cinnamony...

Any other good recipes going while we're about it...

Except it seems as if he wants to give us a truck or something. Pallets have favourites?!

I make a mean chicken pie... With home made pastry of your choosing...

 

And am known for my burgers

 

And steak

 

And muffins

 

And lasagne

 

And many more.

 

I like to cook. But not masterchef stuff. Stuff you eat and makes you full.

Mine is baked cheesecake. And brownies (girl guides too) as well as profiteroles, black forest gateau.

 

Fkit. I love food.
