Pound cake batter is objectively the best batter.
Lifestream
My lifestream feed is probably best understood as an extended version of my blog, a combined feed of notes, articles, photos and videos, but without all the replies, likes and reposts that can sometimes add unwanted noise to an IndieWeb site.
My entire feed is available as well.

Jul 10, 2020, 10:16 AM -04:00 TIL I learned that "boat", "bait", "bite", "bolt", and "bitter" are all cognates, from a PIE word meaning to strike or split (the connection with boat appears to be that one used to make them by hollowing out split tree trunks).
-
Jul 3, 2020, 7:32 AM -04:00 TIL that the "-ly" suffix commonly added to words in English to denote an adverb comes from the word "like" (still existing in the word "ladylike", for example). So "slowly" came from "slow-like" and "carefully" came from "careful-like" (possibly explaining the double "l").
-
Jun 30, 2020, 8:49 AM -04:00 TIL that "marshmallow" is actually a very old word, derived from the Old English word "mersc-mealwe" describing a "kind of mallow plant (Althea officinalis) which grows near salt marshes."

May 31, 2020, 2:19 PM -04:00 Am I the only one bothered by the term "black IPA"? Like, y'all know what the "P" stands for, right?
-
May 28, 2020, 9:42 PM -04:00 TIL from @englishhistpod that Wales and Welsh both come from an Anglo-Saxon word meaning "foreigner", which is ironic given that the Welsh were the native Britons and the Anglo-Saxons were the invaders. Also: the wall in Cornwall and the wal in walnut mean "foreign" as well!

May 24, 2020, 2:52 PM -04:00 A piece of gingerbread, slightly lopsided. Still delicious. I used Anna Olsen's recipe.

May 15, 2020, 2:36 PM -04:00 Annoying how most recipes calling for condensed milk call for a 14 oz can, while the cans in Canada appear to be 300 ml (10 oz).

May 10, 2020, 5:45 PM -04:00 Cannoli pound cake. Really just an excuse to use leftover ricotta. Smells amazing.

May 9, 2020, 6:40 PM -04:00 I wonder about combining static site generators and photo galleries. I know it's a thing, and yet it feels a bit off, especially when you have 10GB of photos.
