Still trying to get ahead as we'll be gone next week. Probably I'll have multiples when we get back as well!

4 What is your favourite song lyric?
The one currently stuck in my head is from Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody...
'Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide
No escape from reality
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see'

I can honestly say that although I know song lyrics, I don't necessarily have favorites.

5 Who is the most evil person you have ever met?
An ex step father. He was the personification of evil.

6 What product would you happily advertise in exchange for a lifetime supply of?
CBD cream for my feet! Yes, please!!!!

7 What kind of butter/margarine/butter-like spread do you favour?
Real, sweet cream butter. Funny story; for His Lordship's birthday I made cupcakes and decided to try a new buttercream...made with sweetened condensed milk rather than icing sugar. I bought fancy "Kerry Gold" butter for it. The frosting pretty much tasted like sweetened butter. It was pretty awful. Live and learn!

CBD cream for my feet!
It helps with pain?

I have neuropathy in my feet, not caused by MS or diabetes. It is an inherited autoimmune problem (my mom had it as well, only worse as it was in her hands too). I've tried EVERYTHING (except the nasty prescription drug Lyrica and it's ilk) but what works for me is the CBD cream. I'm good during the day, when I'm moving around. It's when I'm still at night that my feet "talk" to me. The CBD keeps the nerves from being over active, in my case. YMMV. I also use cream that has THC in it as well. It's not a cure, but a healing of sorts.

I cannot imagine using condensed milk for frosting - surely it’s too gloopy?

You'd think so, but no. You beat the butter (and a bit of vegetable shortening - just like commercial buttercream) until it's light and fluffy, then add cold (like put the can in the fridge for at least 2 hours) condensed milk. Whip that too! There are a ton of tutorials on youtube.

Honestly? I think the American palate is more like a kids, they like things super sweet. I wasn't terribly off put by it, but the men in my family hated it. They wanted the sugar laden stuff. Too sweet by half!

Yummy, huh? I found that on vacation, I liked the restaurants with the butter soft and not frozen or hard. Quality will out!
