Why does cold fat create more layers in dough than warm fat?
If you experiment with making pastry, you will find that cold fat makes the flakiest pastry. The reason can be found in the oven.
Flaky pastry is made of many fine layers. In the oven, it is fat that separates the layers in the dough. As the water in the dough turns to steam and expands, it pushes these layers of dough apart, forming the characteristic blisters or flakes of good flaky pastry. The greater the number of layers, the flakier the final pastry will be.

Roasting times for Beef
Preheat your oven to 160°C (325°F) and use these cooking times to prepare a roast that's moist, tender and delicious.Your roast should be covered with foil for the first half of the roasting time. 8 to 10lb Joint 2½ to 3 hours The Beef can be taken out sooner if you prefer rare (bloody) meat. Tips for a better roast. For extra flavour you can add optional vegetables such as carrots, parsnips, onions and celery to your roasting pan, and roast the meat 'on a bed' of veg. The veg also helps to keep the roast off the bottom of the roasting pan so it doesn't 'stew' in its own juices.
How big do boobies have to be to be classed as big?
Most people mistakenly think that D-cups are big, but it depends on the rib cage size of the woman. If a woman is a 28D or 30D, her boobs are not very big (don't get me wrong, very nice, just not big). If a woman is more average sized like 36, then D or bigger is good.
More than a hand full is more fun! Anyone who thinks otherwise should never be allowed to touch boobies ever again!

Do you put anything in paper before you bake cupcakes?
If you are baking the cupcakes in a cupcake pan, all you have to do is put the paper cups in each spot and fill them with the cupcake mix. You do not need to add any non-stick spray or anything to the paper cups, just the mix. It will be easy to remove the cupcakes from the pan itself and removing the paper from the cupcakes is just a matter of peeling them away like any other cupcake =)
On a side note, a lot of cake mixes say to only fill the cups about two-thirds but I personally like to add just a bit more for bigger, nicer-looking cupcakes =)
I love cupcakes <3
