I know I joke a fair bit about it always being cake week at Class in Cookery, but honestly, it feels like it’s often pineapple week as well. And I don’t like pineapple.

Class in Cookery sure has a lot of sponge cake recipes (still better than anything involving pineapple though).

She also claims she's being shadow banned on IG because it's "controlled by you know who". Like, 100% be angry about what is happening and use your platform to speak up, but being antisemitic ain't it.

Watching #GBBO re-runs in anticipation of the new season landing on CBC. This made me both laugh and miss Matt (really like Alison though).

Green glacé cherries: I’ll admit that I never thought much before about why those cherries, which my grandmother oddly loved and would buy at the bulk store, were green.

I love this. Even beyond the grave John is keeping up the feuds and being petty.

I cut off the next part because I was focusing on the family names, but the money was equivalent to their wedding gifts (but you got less if you weren't named after his mother or late wife):

Not at all relevant to what I'm actually researching, but wills like this are a genealogical goldmine #genealogy

My guess is to offset some acidity from the tomatoes. I often add a little sugar when making tomato sauce (and even sometimes in my shakshuka).

Okay, I am definitely going to make this Honey Cake recipe! The ginger ale seems like an interesting addition, although I’m wary of beating the batter in the mixer for twenty-five minutes.
