I think I have just tasted the sweetest strawberries I've had in my whole life. This weekend, we went to the farmers' market at Clayton city. We were a bit late, about 10 minutes before they were gonna close late. The only thing I really wanted were strawberries because they were a request from Brian. I asked him what kind of cupcakes did he want for my new cupcake liners I just got in the mail and he said strawberry would be nice. I finally was able to make them today. I used my own recipe, I just don't know how much I like it. They turned out a bit more muffin like than cupcake, mostly because I was too lazy to wait for the butter to reach room temperature so I used vegetable oil instead. It tastes good, just not great. I think I should have followed my instinct of making a chocolate cupcake base rather than a vanilla cupcake base. The frosting is pretty good though, a bit rich, but it goes well with the strawberries. I did a cream cheese frosting for this one. I think this one goes to the trial bin, it's not my final recipe for this. I'll definitely try again. Maybe I will use buttermilk next time.
Two types of neon tubing can produce two colors: one with neon gas, the other with mercury/argon. Some tubes made with neon gas are not coated with phosphor for certain colors. Clear tubing is filled with neon gas and produces the yellowish-orange color. The interior plasma column can be clearly seen. It is also the most cost-effective and easiest to make. The American tradition of neon glasses is made from lead glass. These are very easy to melt in gas fires and are still popular in America. However, recent environmental and worker health concerns have prompted manufacturers to develop safer special soft glass formulas. This avoids lead glass from igniting into black spots and emitting lead fumes when heated up in flames that are too rich in oxygen/fuel. Colored soda lime glasses are another traditional type of glasses. They come in many glass colors,
