If I'm not mistaken, "Scones" are baked. Very similar to a southern biscuit with a little sugar added to the dough. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scone_(bread) "Scones for tea!" I have no idea where that quote is from...
Hey Randy, You're just a hop, skip and a jump from Idaho. Up and down the Snake River Valley, many restaurants and home kitchens fry their scones. Anything that is baked in the oven that looks similar is either called a muffin, or a biscuit, not to be confused for the British meaning of the word biscuit (cookie in the US). Growing up in Texas, I called it fry-bread or fried bread. If anyone is familiar with the restaurant Texas Roadhouse, there's one out where I live here in Idaho, and they serve fried scones with honey butter. They are the best scones in town. Arjan's are probably better than those! sam
Wim, LOL! These delights look like beignets (bin-yays') that New Orleans is famous for. No preserves here, powdered sugar and/or honey. Considered a health food by most Cajuns.
That's what they are Sparky! Superduper beignets but only with powdered sugar over here (but honey sounds nice too, must try that !). The nonnescheten are the apple-beignets (and I have not the faintest idea who named them that or why!!! ) Take care, Wim
Hello Ray, You are more then welcome to come over and visit me and my girlfriend and have something to eat with us Ray! As for the Ditmar, yes, it's comming along. I received a new glass for it yesterday from pelam.de. It's actualy a glass for a Petromax 834, but fits my Ditmar perfectly! I have replaced the pickup tube, but I need to test run it. Haven't had time to do that yet. As for the rest, thank you all for the praise. Anyone who wants to try them out are more then welcome to visit us. I'll be more then happy to bake some more Like I said, time is precious at the moment, so I I hope I can make some more pictures of some stoves soon, but it won't be this week. Probably next week. regards, Arjan.
I know it has been a while but here are another 2 stoves from my 'collection' On the left a Dutch stove, namely an IZI Saval and on the right a Radius That makes 8 stoves and still counting.
Well this time a bit faster and some more time to take pictures of 4 more stoves. These are 4 collapsible stoves WITH a tin: The first up is the one that has been lurking in the back on other pictures, but here it is in full glory Radius 21 all complete with pricker, spanner, windshield and original tin. All in very good condition. I need to give this stove a bit of TLC, because I haven't had it burning yet. Next up is a Burmos 21, which I got from my mother in law. I had to solder the pump out to service the NRVlink. It has a 'custom' tin from 'Verkade', which is a biscuit/cooky brand here in Holland. The tin itself is brand new, but I like the 50's style drawings on it: Next is a very nice Korean stove, that I bought from my good friend Bart. Owner of BBL. It's brand is: Weekend The type: Camping Burner. Even though it name is a bit funny, the burner is very well build, no 'Chinese quality' and burns very hot for it's size. Has 2 setting, it can be a roarer, but also has a silent cap: And last one for this post is a no name 1 pint brass stove in a 'custum' tin. The tin is probably older then the stove itself. The tin is from a company called 'the biscuit factory' If I'm not mistaken, the factory doesn't excist anymore for quite some time. The price tag for it back in the day was a hefty FL1,- Which compares to about 40 euro cents(PS. This one is up for trade): I hope you guys liked another addition of my stove collection. I will add more soon. Stove count: 12
Good Evening, ajvuik, VERY nice additions, my Friend!! I really like that Korean stove that Bart sent your way! (How IS Bart these days, anyway? I haven't talked to him in a few years, and hope all is well, and that he and his family are happy and healthy.) That stove is very well done, and looks great. The others are great, too, and your collection should probably not be called "small", anymore! 8) It's getting bigger by the week, which is very nice and quite a lot of fun!! Congratulations, and God Bless! Every Good Wish, Doc
Hey Doc, thanks for the comments. Bart is going OK, right now, he went back to school to finish his scholarship. But why don't you send him a mail yourself, I know he'll love to hear from you As for my collection not beeing small anymore... there is more to come
Hi, Ajvuik, Thanks for letting me know about Bart. I'll most certainly send him a note, if I can find his email address. My old computer is definitely on it's last legs, and will not allow me access to my old address book. In any case, I can contact him from BBL, which should work well. Thanks, again, and God Bless! Every Good Wish, Doc
Wow, quite a collection of lanterns there. What is the smaller stainless steel looking lantern you have there sitting on the cookie tin?
Those are nice and uncomplicated little lanterns. And judging from what I can see of the mantle, you have it in working order. Or are you hiding a black spot on the other side? 8-[
Nope, no black spots It works flawless. I just hope I never have to change the jet, because from what I have heard the Petromax 250CP jet does not fit Primus 991 lantern and Primus jets are hard to come by. But for now it works and I like it very much.
