OK
I was just thinking of taste
I am unsure of oat and almond to be honest
We both dislike desecrated coconut…
Coconut cream perhaps?
I am checking my cupboards…

If left for long enough and opened – like the tin in my mother’s larder when she died, which had last been used, we suspected, about fifteen years earlier to make gingerbread for grandchildren – T&L golden syrup in a tin has gone granular, and the tin is rusty inside as well as out. That did get thrown away, but only because the rust was visibly spreading in the syrup.

I am ashamed to admit to using plastic bottled golden syrup

You can tell how old it was by its having been in a tin, probably.
My mother was one of them who could happily eat a lemon, and really didn’t like sweet things, so once she was no longer cooking for Yoof she no longer had any use for syrup.

The Zoom bake-a-long is ABI trying to keep us enjoying life throughout lockdown
Since most folk like sweet stuff I am in the minority with my savoury taste buds
Hence I don’t have desecrated coconut and am reluctant to buy any for it to lie in my cupboards

Coconut cream will just make them taste creamier, Twellsy.
Leave it out, & they will be Not Quite Anzac Biscuits. You can’t really replace dry ingredients wiv wet, & get the same texture.

OK: does anyone here know anything in favour of or against soda crystals – specifically for getting brown water stain out of lavatory bowls, but like bicarb it seems to have more household uses than one can readily comprehend without long and complicated notes?

A bottle of cola will do your toilet Fishy
The number of things that stuff cleans it is surprising that it is allowed to be sold for consumption!
Steradent is another thing that works wonders cleaning recalcitrant calcium stains…

I asked bing.
Pour some Soda Crystals into the bowl and scrub the bowl and rim with a good old fashioned stiff toilet brush 2. If there’s limescale, don’t just bleach it, eliminate it with Citric Acid. The effect is very quick and visible, especially so when used with hot water.

Biscuits/cookies are out of the oven
I was forced to taste one
Raisins and flaked almonds were my final choice with a bit of extra golden syrup were the final choice
The crumbs taste gorgeous…

Sorry, but no. That has been tried, in fact one was not deemed enough and two were tried. Also undiluted vinegar, Astonish, citric acid, bicarb…
The problem is two-fold: 1] a ring of brown probably hard-water stain at water-level and 2] brown streaks down the back from up at the rim where the water comes in when it is flushed. The actual under water bit is clean and white.

When trying all of these cleaners , even the natural ones, it is important not to mix them, & also not to peer into the bowl without mask/goggles on.
Some of the whizz-bang effects can be swift, &, literally take one’s breath away.
The Carinthian lavatories get the proper thick Domestos overnight treatment once a week, & are scrubbed with a silicone brush with an attachment wot goes under the rim before being flushed.
The Senior Darlings have 4 lavatories of various ages in their house, & the oldest one doesn’t respond to Domestos, Soda or anything else. The only thing which works is liquid Milton.
