In my community:
Massive budget cuts for our public schools, and talk of closing some schools, doing away with several sports programs, and cutting staff. Even the private schools are feeling the pinch

Our job fairs, sponsored by State govt, private businesses, and local govt; have started doing online job fairs because so many people were showing up at the job fairs it was overwhelming.

Most of our nonprofit charities are unable to raise enough money to fulfill their missions.

I'm seeing many more people going door to door looking to do odd jobs.

How goes it where you live?



Answer
In No. California, a lot of stores- some major, like Mervyns, Circuit City,
Linens & Things have closed, along with the small stores that just can not make it anymore. The shopping malls are almost bare of customers. I went into Sears not too long ago, and you could throw a bowling ball down any isle. Even Target is pretty quite. A lot of the small restaurant have closed, and some of the big ones are also in trouble. The unemployment if at 10%. Job fairs are packed to the max.
No one is buying new cars and we have a sea of cars sitting at.the piers in LA, as their is no where else to put them. A lot of road construction projects have been set aside. And NO one is building houses any more. If you want to sell your house forget it!!!! Even the foreclosures are not selling real fast. No one can get loans, even if you qualify.The food banks are giving out more and more every day. The homeless are living in a tent city. People will not be getting their state income tax refunds in who knows when. People have just cut out any non-necessary spending. Resturants are tying to entice people with lower prices and 2 for one or 2 at a special price. (like 2 dinners for $20). A few of the low income health clinics have had to close. The San Francisco Chronicle newspaper is saying they are going to have to shut down, and the Sacramento Bee Newspaper is laying of personnel like crazy. This is due to lack of want adds. So they do not have the add revenue they need. I'm sure I could think of a few more things, but I better quit, as this is getting depressing.

Any sites about baking utensils?

All I can get from search engines are online shopping sites of baking utensils. Please do not recommend me shopping sites.
I need a site to give me the baking utensils list, its use and picture. THANKS!

Essential Utensils for Cake Baking

Fancy electric mixers, handheld blenders and pancake rings⦠the market is swamped with baking utensils that you donât really need. So what exactly do you need when you begin to bake? Hereâs our round-up of genuine essentials, with a Wish list for every budding bakerâ¦
The Real Baking Essential

Two Large Bowls

Weâll begin with the obvious: a bowl, but letâs make it two - many recipes ask you to beat egg whites separately, before folding them into another bowl of ingredients. Or to melt chocolate over a pan, then tip it into the cake batter. So itâs sensible to have two large bowls in your kitchen.

Whisk, Spoon & Spatula

Turning to the cutlery drawer, youâll also need a whisk for aerating cake batter and eggs, a spatula for beating butter, smoothing tray-bakes and scraping out corners, and a spoon for beating and folding. Choose a wooden spoon (those with one rounded edge and one straight edge are best), and keep it exclusively for cake-baking, so you donât get a hint of onion in your Victoria sponge!

You will probably have a metal spoon in your cutlery drawer â they come with most dinner sets. The largest is a tablespoon (15ml), which is an important measurement for many recipes. It's also useful for folding ingredients, in recipes where you need to keep the air in the batter.

Measuring Jug & Spoon

As well as weighing out your ingredients, some recipes ask you to measure fluids or small amounts. To do this youâll need a measuring jug (a plastic one is best for protecting your batter against odours â avoid using it to reheat beans unless you want an orange jug!) and spoons. Keen bakers keep a selection of measuring spoons in their drawer. You can buy sets that are fastened together, with a wide range of capacities, but youâre likely to only use a couple: the tablespoon and teaspoon.

If you like to use recipes from the internet, or you have an American baking book, itâs also useful to have a cup measure on hand. In the US almost every ingredient is measured by cups, removing the need to weigh. Breadmakers often supply recipes by the cup, and you need a measuring cup (not a coffee cup) to get the proportions right.

Sponge Tins, Cheesecake Tin, Cupcake Tins, Swiss Roll Tin, & Loaf Tin

It depends what type of baking youâre doing, but youâll probably need a good selection of baking tins once you get hooked. The list above is a good starting point. Sponge tins are usually quite shallow, since theyâre designed to be used together to bake two sponges that will be sandwiched together.

To bake an all-in-one cake (like a fruit cake), youâll need a deeper cake tin; a Springform one is a good idea, because the outer ring springs off when you need to get the cake out. Buy more than one cupcake tin, because every recipe makes at least 12, and youâll find itâs a real nuisance to be emptying and refilling the tin. You can buy the small-sized fairycake trays, or the muffin-sized trays â or maybe a couple of each!

Finally, a Swiss Roll tin is used for more than Swiss rolls â you can use it to bake shaped or birthday cakes, tray-bakes, and shortbread. Youâll only need a loaf tin if you intend to bake loaf cakes (like walnut and apple). When choosing your cake tins, donât buy the cheapest; they will warp and cakes will stick to them. It really is worth investing in good tinware, so look for reputable manufacturers like Mermaid (the Cake Baker teamâs favourite!).
The Optional Extras

Hereâs a Wish List of extra utensils that are used for certain recipes, or to make baking easier. These utensils are wonderful gifts for bakers-in-the-making, too!

* Electric whisk for meringues and beating butter etc.
* Cookie cutters
* Madeleine tray
* Hand blender
* Scone cutters, fluted and plain
* Tartlet tins for individual tarts and lemon pies
* Ice-cream scoops
* Sundae dishes
* Novelty cake tins such as heart shapes
* Mini (or large) pudding basins
* Afternoon tea set
* Reusable silicone parchment
* Worktop Mixer
* Ice-cream maker (for freezer or worktop)
