Peter Greweling  -- a master confectioner and author of a wonderful  
confection text book -- disagrees.  He spends quite a bit of effort  
explaining the differences in cocoa butter fats, but dismisses the  
difference in cane and beet sugar in a sentence or two.  Beet sugar  
refining has improved dramatically in the last few decades, and as  
long as you buy good quality stuff, you can't tell which is which,  
without a pretty sophisticated lab.  (A much more likely source of the  
problem for the cook mentioned in the story is the grain size of the  
sugar, which changes the rate at which it will go into solution, and  
may mean it doesn't fully dissolve, and leaves grains for sugar to  
come out of solution.)  The SF chronicle article is a worthless  
source, not least because it neglects to mention that one of the major  
reasons cane sugar commands a premium price are artificial price  
supports in the form of tariffs and import quotas, that push the price  
of sugar in the US well above world market price.

Subject: Sugar

Thanks, Spencer, for the article on sugar.
I will admit that I have been a beet sugar bigot - having grown up in the Thumb
 - my dad grew beets and both grand parents worked in the sugar factory!
I'll bet my next angle food cake comes out better!
I think I will make 3 beers, one each with corn, beet and cane sugar
 - just to see the difference - a CAP I think.

Subject: CAN I PUT MY TRUST ON YOU????



Hello friend,

I hope my email meets you well. I am in need of your assistance. My  
name is Sgt
Perry Rice. I am in the Engineering military unit here in Ba'qubah in Iraq, we
have some amount of funds that we want to move out of the Country.

My partners and I need a good partner someone we can trust. It is oil  
Money and
legal.

Basically since we are working for the government we cannot keep these Funds,
but we want to transfer and move the funds to you, so that you can
Keep it for us in your safe account or an offshore account. But we are Moving
it through Diplomatic means, to send it to your house directly or a
Bank of your choice using Diplomatic Courier Service.

The most important thing is that can we trust you? Once the funds get to You,
you take your 30% out and keep our own 70%. Your own part of this
Deal is to find a safe place where the funds can be sent to. Our own part is
sending it to you. If you are interested i will furnish you with more Details.

But the whole process is simple and we must keep a low profile at all Times.
Waiting for your urgent response via my private
email:perry0822 at gmail.com

This business is risk free.

Regards,

Sgt.Perry Rice.

Subject: Judge's Memory Sheets

Many, many, many years ago, the QUAFF AFCHBC competition got a 
manually produced Judge's Memory Sheet from the Maltose Falcons, whom 
I believe originated it.  This is a *very* useful tool in competitions.

The copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of it that I have is getting 
quite fuzzy.  If anyone has made an electronic copy of this in Word 
or Excel or even PDF, I would be most grateful if you would pass it 
on.  The competition is January 31, so speed would also be appreciated.

thanks,
dion
