Ingredients: 125g Sugar in Dust...
I use Google. I like Google. I don't trust Google's translation tool.
I was Googling for a recipe and came across an interesting-sounding one, except that it was in Spanish. "Want me to 'translate this page'?" Google asked accomodatingly.
Sure, I said, and suddenly found myself looking at a most unusual cake recipe that told me I needed:
-125g sugar in dust
-1/2 a royal stockmarket
-100g you happen
-1 stock market of hemstitched sugar
...among other ingredients. You also need a "furnace"--to bake the cake, I presume--and one step asks you to "throw" the 100g of you happen. Poor you happen, obviously not a valued ingredient. Or perhaps you're supposed to throw you happen into the furnace.

Hahaha, hilarious! I can imagine you standing in front of a furnace, flinging the "you happen" in the roaring fire while chanting something like "scale of dragon, tooth of wolf; witch's mummy, maw and gulf..."
Sorry, can't get that image out of my head.

do you have any idea what were you trying to make?

Lynn, I bet it was the "hemstitched sugar" that got your imagination revved!
Hi Random, welcome to my blog! I am not entirely sure, since I'm rather skeptical of anything Google "translated" for me, but I think it was a recipe for marmalade cake. Although what it said was "naranja confitada" in Spanish and "orange confitada" in English. Thank you, Google, that was so helpful.

I can translate the recipe from Spanish to English if you want. I think after translating books and reports, a cooking recipe shouldn't be too bad ^^
btw: naranja confitada = preserved oranges
