I don't know how I missed your comment. I'm so pleased to meet you, and it just goes to show that it's NEVER too late. Now, a dessertspoon in US measurement (or any really) is two teaspoons, and a tablespoon is four teaspoons. I hope that helps. Let me know what more you need.

I have to thankyou for your gift of passionfruit too. I used it to make jam and passionfruit butter, and we've enjoyed it enormously. I couldn't agree more that it's about making time. We seem to make time to do all manner of other things, but we 'don't have time' to improve our homestead. Interesting. You're a wonderful example.

I will be staying. I have just started the homesteading trend of life at the age of 70. A little late but a good thing I think. Partly out of necessity and partially because its interesting and frugal. But mostly I love the idea of making my own home sweet smelling, clean and with home remedies. <br />Would please tell me the measurement that a desert spoon would equal?<br />I very much appreciate you breaking down what some of the ingredients would be in the USA.<br />Very much looking forwards to being friends.<br />Have a great day.<br />allthingzsewnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09210000823417432398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492903313028603031.post-85551632237918042532018-03-01T19:55:30.701+10:002018-03-01T19:55:30.701+10:00Thankyou Mimi, Ive copied those two baking recipes...Thankyou Mimi, Ive copied those two baking recipes down , they will come in handy.

Some of the things I have done in the past week include making a batch of refried beans (now frozen in Mason jars), making spreadable butter (3 tubs in the freezer), scooping pulp out of 127 passionfruit and freezing it in ice-cube trays as well as pureeing the last of the box of mangoes that we bought on our way home from Stanthorpe a couple of weeks ago.<br /><br />For anyone who thinks they don't have time - it is a matter of making time. I also hold down a busy full-time job plus 3 hours of commuting 3 - 4 days/week.Fairyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14747146605520336984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492903313028603031.post-78757713816749212792018-02-28T20:15:07.564+10:002018-02-28T20:15:07.564+10:00Thanks for all that info, Mimi.
