[lace] Twinkees
- Original Message - Now the question is What's a twinkee? Jean in Poole, Dorset, UK You mean you are blessed by not having Twinkees in your stores? It's a small rectangular sponge cake with cream filling. I know that sounds rather good. However, I'm not sure it's really good for a person. It's got a reputation of never spoiling. Supposedly Twinkees on the shelf for 10 years are still good. It has ingredients that keep it from rotting. I have doubts that these ingredients should be consumed. One of the newest 'treats' at state fair is deep fried twinkees. Yep... on top of the original calories, they are adding the frying oil. The original Twinkees company went bankrupt a few months ago and the News said that it was the end of Twinkees and the other treats they made. Now they are reappearing in the stores. A Canadian company bought the production rights and have started producing them. The chocolate cupcakes, Ho-Ho's, with chocolate frosting and a cream filling are supposed to reappear in mid summer. They also made Snowballs, round white cake balls with marshmallow frosting and covered with coconut, either white or pink. When these were first made, they were probably quite good. That was before so many chemical ingredients were put in things to stretch their shelf life. I haven't had one in many years... not since I learned what was in them.

Re: [lace] Where can I buy this pattern?
Pam- I believe Ann-Marie mentioned buying it as she presumed it was for sale, not that she had a seller; her question was about tracking down a source. Many patterns are available only for purchase, it was not unreasonable on her part to make such a presumption. So calm down.

Ah, Twinkies. Bar shaped, golden cake on the outside, creamy filling on the inside. Produced by Hostess Brands, who went bankrupt, but in such a way that they are still around. Coming back to store shelves this summer. Like Peeps, things have been done with Twinkies. http://www.twinkiesproject.com/ And like Peeps, I've never actually had a Twinkie.

Re: [lace] Where can I buy this pattern?
Hi Pam and Arachne colleagues, Pam and I know what is going on on in many of our lacemeetings. So, no wonder her reaction. There are indeed quite many people who sell patterns taken from books and magazines here in Spain. A subject very difficult to avoid and to fight, because not even the organizers of the meetings care to put an end to this. A situation which is seen very differently depending on the point of view: the person who sells copied patterns is really happy to make money with no effort and the person who works the pattern feels really unprotected and underestimated! Apart from this, Pam, I imagine the lacemaker of the photo we have seen is making your pattern from the magazine. Best wishes, Antje, from Spain.

Hi all This might be the time to remind people that if they have designed a pattern of any kind, that they make sure that their copyright is on the pattern and in such a place that it cannot be taken off.

[lace] Copyright.
Maureen said This might be the time to remind people that if they have designed a pattern of any kind, that they make sure that their copyright is on the pattern and in such a place that it cannot be taken off. Unfortunately even in the old days carefully applied whiteout paint followed by a fresh photocopy would conceal many marks of origin, but with the onset of technology even a basic scanner and graphics programme will allow the unscrupulous to remove all traces of the originator's name and date. Perhaps we could make it as hard for them as possible by having watermarks stating copyright behind the design area, but then there is the problem that the design itself is harder to see. However, the seller's sometimes don't even bother to do this. One ebayer was selling copies of pages from Lace a while back and seemed surprised when told this was infringing copyright. However, she did remove them from sale and there has been no sign of her doing it again. I'm not sure what Antje and Pam can do when the culture in which this is happening has a very relaxed attitude to the issue. If the buyers don't mind that the pattern source is dishonest because the price is right, and no-one official is prepared to do anything, then the sellers have no compulsion to stop. I have been at meetings in Spain where home made photocopies of complete books were for sale quite openly and not just out of print ones.

Re: [lace] Peeps vs. Stanhopes
All the notes, and I don't think anyone explained that when baby chicks hatch, they make a peeping sound! That is where the name for the Easter chick candies came from. Having lived on a chicken farm during WWII, when retired farmers like my grandfather went back to farming because of a shortage of food to feed the world, I was familiar with shipments of eggs just waiting to hatch, how they were warmed, and the sounds of chicks peeping. (People around the world who had their problems with starvation during the war probably do not realize that all our young able-bodied farmers were drafted to fight in the World War -- on both fronts.) Frankly, I had no idea that someone had decided to discontinue using the name of the inventor of Stanhopes. Since I often shop antique shops and shows for lace and embroidery treasures, my frame of reference will always be Stanhopes. Honoring the people who came before us has merit.

[lace] Participation in Lace Confernce
Helen wrote: Part of the thing with IOLI is that when it's on a coast, it's expensive for attendees from the opposite coast, and a full day of travel. When it moves to a more central state, it becomes a little more appealing financial (theoretically). I guess it would be more economical if airline travel were actually based on miles traveled and gasoline the way car travel is, but air travel is based on competitive markets, so it is often cheaper to fly to the coast or certain hubs than to central states that are not part of a competitive market. For instance it can be quite expensive to fly to Iowa. In fact, I am fairly certain that it would be much cheaper for me to fly from a New York airport to LA than to go from a New York airport to Salt Lake City. A friend did a study about where the cheapest place to fly to for a conference was, based on people coming from all over the US, and decided that Tampa and Orlando were the most inexpensively reachable locations in the US by air, overall. Another consideration in terms of participation is whether there is a large group of people near enough to come by car. If the surrounding 300 miles has other areas of lace maker concentration, that can give a boost to attendance. Helen also wrote: And IOLI convention locations are determined by who's interested in hosting the event. Unfortunately some people are in areas of the country where there are insufficient local groups, or the groups are unable to host the IOLI convention. A decision to have two conventions a year is not really going to change that. The IOLI isn't in a position where it can determine where an area is under served by conventions and decide to hold one there. There really has to be a local group that is willing and able to host it. Sadly, some people are not going to be near a convention unless they host it. But on the bright side, they can attend a convention in another state and not feel called upon to be on a committee!

[lace] copyright
Jacquie is right. When the whole climate in a country disrespects copyright, it will really be an uphill battle to change that attitude. Do these lace days include suppliers who are selling actual printed books (printed and bound by legitimate publishers) for money? Such suppliers, as well as the designers, would also have an incentive to see respect for copyright in that more people would buy from them. I suppose it might be possible to use the internet and social media to get your point across. It would take a constant effort with delicate handling to make the perpetrators recognize that they are damaging real people. I did once find some of my patterns posted on someone's picasa page. Then I wrote to the individual. She was embarrassed, but readily agreed when I told her it was OK to leave the patterns there if she posted my name and a link to my website with the pattern.

When you say filled with cream, do you mean real dairy cream made from real milk or that yuckie, synthetic, tasteless white stuff that confectioners misname cream. I love cream (real cream) and jam (jelly to those in the US) filled long doughnuts (donuts in the US). Making my mouth water just thinking about them. Or real cream slices - two slabs of flaky pastry, each about a quarter of an inch thick with icing (frosting in the US) on the top layer, and sandwiched together with with an inch thick of real cream between the slabs. Custard slices are nice too - same cake but with solidish custard in place of the cream. Or chocolate eclairs - long dollops of choux pastry filled with fresh cream and iced (frosted) on top with chocolate icing (frosting). Healthy - no; delicious - absolutely.

Re: [lace-chat] Twinkees
No, no, it's the yucky stuff. I have to admit I **loved** that white stuff when I was a teenager. It was just the right fluffiness, just the right amount of artificial flavouring and just the right amount of sugar. A perfect foodstuff! Real dairy cream would spoil, of course, and you'd lose the wonderful advantage of being able to put and package of Twinkies away in the cupboard for years at a time. I don't think people buy Twinkies for that purpose; it just winds up that way.

On 4/29/13 3:56 AM, Jean Nathan wrote: If you try to make corned beef hash with our corned beef, you end up with a mush. I tried it before we realised that US corned beef isn't the stuff that comes in tins here, but is totally different. When using an American recipe we have to look up the internet to see what some of the ingredients are known to us as. I've never seen corned-beef hash that didn't come in tins. Canned corned-beef hash consists mostly of little half-centimeter cubes of potato stuck together with a puree of meat and tallow. Lately we've been buying reduced fat corned-beef hash, which is better. It's nicest if one cuts a slice and fries it crisp on both sides, but it's almost impossible to turn the slice without breaking it into crumbles. DH fries it to crunchy crumbles, scrapes them together into a flat pile a little bigger than a fried egg, breaks an egg on top, adds a teaspoon of water, and quickly covers it with the domed lid of one of my saucepans and steams it to the consistency of a poached egg. I generally fry it in crumbles until crisp, add chopped onion, and stir until translucent. Last time I didn't have the skillet hot enough to brown it, so I put in minced celery, steamed it until the celery was soft (the celery made its own steam), then stirred in onion and a couple of the little sweet peppers that have recently appeared in all the groceries. It's the first time I've been able to buy peppers that tasted like old-time pimentos in a supermarket; even the farmer's market has begun to sell the huge flavorless peppers we used to call mangos.
