Food & Drink - 30 November 2007

Hi. I made my first ever Christmas cake about a month ago. It's turned out beautifully but I did cut the top off to make it flat. I've got it wrapped in greaseproof paper and it's in a tin and I've been putting a few teaspoons of brandy on it once or twice a week.

I've never done this before, and I just feel a bit funny that it's been hanging around so long. It looks and smells fine but someone told me I shouldn't have cut the top off as it may go mouldy.

Also, when is the best time to ice it?

I know that you can't use pyrex on the stovetop, but the carafe on my coffeemaker broke and I've found it it would cost me more to replace it than I originally paid for the coffee maker (which I got just a month ago). I was thinking of getting a pyrex measuring cup- which would only cost me a couple bucks. I just don't know if the hot plate part of the warmer gets so hot that it would shatter the pyrex or something.

Growing hops at home? Any suggestions? With the rising price of hops, it seems that growing hops is a good idea. Anyone out there doing this?

Tell me about your hangover and what you did last night to get it. What are you doing to try to counter-act the hangover.

Me personally, I went to a Packer party with my brother and drank Saphire and tonics for free. now I am drinking water and coffee and doing as little work as possible. today is going to be a long day.

She wrote the wine brand down, as pinot grigot.
When i went to the local wine market, they only had pinot grigio. Is there a difference, or is this an alternative spellling?

I just started waitressing again after 10 years away. Yesterday I killed a few roaches in the kitchen. Everyone there is used to this and acts like it's "just part of the job". Are roaches in a restaurant kitchen more common than I think/or ever knew?
