But WHY shouldn't I ...

You all seem to be such proficient chefs. Well here is a place to share some of that cooking knowledge. Or do you have a cooking problem? Ask away. Jams and chutneys go here too.

So it's just the delete that's gone - but do you see delete when you've just posted something before someone else has posted? It may be part of the forum software that you can't actually delete a post after it has been e.g. answered or commented on, because that could cause all sorts of problems if people did that!

You can't delete your own posts.

precisely, we'd have all sorts of gobbledygook going on... but you can still edit your posts.... and admin can delete offensive stuff.

I think that you can delete a new topic, before anyone has answered it.

But you can delete your own post if no-one has made a posting after it - it works like that on all the other PHPBB boards I go on.

has the delete button reappeared ?
and does that happen in all sections of the forum ?

Hi John,
I've just started a new 'thread' on the practice and deleted board, and the delete button is there!! Thanks for your help. I think it might have been me not knowing how these things work!

Rod in Japan wrote:I remember a biology assignment which learned me that I was stupid. We had to write about why sugar preserves strawberries, without first knowing why this might be the case. I painstakingly drew a diagram with lots of little bits of sugar plugging up the pores in the strawberry so the germs couldn't get in. That was my guess about the 'science'. My biology teacher was very cutting about this and called me all sorts of hurtful things, while omitting to educate me about sugar and strawberries. So I went away with my moronic little diagram, absolutely none the wiser. I still don't know why sugar preserves things. (I don't really care that much either, truth be told.)

I know you said you don't care, but I'll answer in case someone else wants to know.

Sugar, in and of itself, does not preserve things. What it does is absorb water, just like salt does, to the point where germs can't reproduce due to lack of moisture.

Germs on a grain of salt or sugar would die, because the salt/sugar actually pulls H2O right out of the germ's cell.

Sugar also covers the fact that strawberries lose a some of their natural sweetness when preserved.

That and the awesome effort the little buggers make shoving aside the massive grains of sugar blocking their way.

(Thanks Ellendra. I think you're a person of much better character than Mrs Frogspawn, I mean Mrs Osborne, my biology teacher.)

You can get food poisoning from rice

Basically don't let it sit around at room temperature once it's been cooked as the bacteria can grown and won't be destroyed by cooking. Cool quickly and eat the next day.
