was_tansu_now_badhedgehogOK, I swear I didn't make Spanish magdalenas because Spain were playing in the final - it just so happened that we wanted some little cakes, and magdalenas are the variety of little cake that we like.
But anyhow, they were probably the nicest magdalenas I've made. The fat was mostly butter, with a little bit of olive oil, and there was just a little splash of milk - the cakes were moist and soft and lovely. For flavouring I use a half teaspoon of vanilla extract, a quarter teaspoon of lemon oil and a quarter teaspoon of orange oil (for two eggsworth of cake, this is). The olive oil also adds flavour. There are pine nuts and sugar on top of the cakes, as there should be.
I enjoyed the final very much. See how determined is Torres when a chance opens up! See also how the Spanish wingers and fullbacks tend to keep the ball too long, so that one shouts oneself hoarse "GIVE IT! GIVE IT NOW!" "No! Not NOW. THE MAN WAS THERE! You should have GIVE IT HIM!" See how annoyed is Michael Ballack! See how much better it all is when you turn off the inane TV commentary! There were a few things that Spain could have done better, especially in the first quarter of an hour. Germany though, they were not put together well and it really wasn't going to happen.
