They take all the land, water, and government handouts and then cry that single moms on food stamps are ruining the country.

I've just had some pretty good nights in just me, a bottle of wine, and a movie

Just because you have an opinion doesnt make it valid.

A friend in college discovered you could open beer cans with a can opener so he drank open top Old Mils for an entire semester

He wasn't better, he just had more legitimatacy since he was the party leader during the last election. Hell, Sunak resigned from said government before Johnson resigned. That's why there were calls for a new election after Truss resigned, but the Tories refused because they knew they would get clobbered at the polls.

Man i absolutely destroy my neighbor's kids in Mario Kart. Years of playing Beerio kart in college have made me an absolute monster at house parties.

Sure, but Sunak wasnt even the second choice for the Tories during the last election. He's in the Gerald Ford grey zone where no one feels like they voted for him, making him seem illegitimate. The British public voted for the Tories in 2019 (because they are morons) with the expectation that Boris Johnson would be in charge. Now the head of the party has resigned twice since then. In theory it'sall standard procedure for Parliament, but it's a clearly unstable government and viewed as a farce at this point.

I've been doing the 52 weeks of baking challenge all year and decided to do buckeye cupcakes for the cupcake challenge. Matches up perfectly with the huge OSU/ND game tomorrow, so go Bucks!

 

These chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter icing, dipped in chocolate ganache have a delicious homemade buckeye sitting right on top! If you love peanut butter, its a treat for you! But be warned that making buckeyes can be a tedious endeavor.

Furthermore, go Buckeyes and beat that team up north!

 

For the non-English among you, Pimms is a botanical, gin-based liqueur. A Pimms cup is the perfect summer cocktail with bright citrus flavors if the liqueur being brought out by the cucumber, lemon,and mint in the drink. There is a lot of variation on how people make their own Pimms Cup, but my Geordie mother always make a pitcher with plenty of ice, ginger beer, cucumber and lemon slices, with a mint leaf for garnish. We are experiencing the summer's last hurrah here in NW Ohio so i figured it would be a perfect time to go a Pimms cake!

I based it off of this cucumber cake recipe but added a few twists to make it a Pimms cake. The cake has a teaspoon of ginger powder and a tablespoon of molasses to represent the ginger beer, a splash of peppermint extract in the icing, and i subbed out the gin for Pimms No. 1. I recommend a quarter teaspoon for the peppermint extract in the icing. I used half a teaspoon but it was too strong and overpowered all the interesting flavors of the Pimms No. 1 in the icing. Maybe next time I'll put the peppermint extract in the cake and put the ginger powder in the icing. Either way, it's an excellent summer snack for the adults!

 
 

I dont really follow any cooking shows or influencers, but Sally's recipes never steer me wrong! Made these with my neighbors and shared them!
