Thinking about it, I probably over beat the egg whites, and should probably go for a slower, longer bake, possibly with steam.
I think I also need to hand fold the poppy mixture in, to get a better feel for it...
Learning!
Oh, that's awesome!
That's my secret, Cap, my farts always smell funny.
Being uncomfortable is not the same as being harmed.
A poppy seed cake, fresh from the oven and starting to fall.

Bah. My flourless poppy seed cake fell.
Tastes nice, but shouldn't have fallen like that...
Will try again on Saturday.

No lie, I really did think this was an Onion headline, but no. @bencollins.bsky.social, I'm so sorry your staff's job is this hard now.

The staggeringly fabulous cover for CE Murphy's BONE & BLOOD, a retelling of "Snow White, Rose Red" features two women standing back to back: one is garbed all in blood red, with dark red hair and a black mask; the other wears flowing white, with wheat-pale hair and a glittering mask. Cover art & design by Ravven.
#Booksky! Today is RELEASE DAY for BONE & BLOOD!
There is a story of a widow & her two daughters, Snow White and Rose Red, the most perfect & darling little girls who had ever lived.
This is not—quite—that story.
I'm so proud of this one, guys! Please RT! :)

"back? I hope you beat my score - 0.0028. Much better than the claimed 0.02 JND but that's because this is a game, not lab conditions, and if I'm honest I was leaning and moving my head around (come on, be honest, you did this too didn't you), so it was more my best guess than a standardised test"
What's fascinating is that everyone I e seen post about this is getting massively better results than the purported 0.02 JND
And the "Read the post about this" link even talks about that:

SideQuested, on the shelf at Forbidden Planet in London.
It was part of today's haul, wasn't expecting to see it, but the staff say they usually put comics and graphic novels out as they get them...
A shelf of new releases at the Forbidden Planet Megastore in London, including SideQuested by Ale Press and KB Spangler.
Seen in the wild at Forbidden Planet London!

This is hilarious.
Also, completely enraging.
