“Ramadan Mubarak! Let us reflect on all those who are not fasting out of choice but starving because of powers that value profit over people.”

Pip likes his fluffy cot. 🐶💤

[Since he's losing his hearing, sight, and (seemingly) his wits in his old age, sleeping is just about the only time he's not being naughty and/or barking. 🙃]

I LIKE BIG BUNDTS AND I CANNOT LIE!

Happy National Bundt Day!

This year I wanted to make something a bit more complicated, and I also wanted to use up something that I already had a lot of at home. I remembered the tin of Earl Grey tea that I bought ages ago [edit: I looked it up; I bought it 9.5 years ago!], which – after realising that I'm not a fan of citrus in my tea* – has been languishing in my tea cupboard ever since.

*The huge Star Trek fan inside of me was dismayed at the revelation that I wouldn't be enjoying my own Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.

So I searched for tea cake recipes and found this one. If anyone else wants to waste a bunch of tea, this is the recipe for you; I used half of the tin!

I slightly adjusted the ingredients and their amounts, based on what I had on hand…

Cake:

2.66 sticks (300 g) vegan butter

9.1 oz lactose-free half & half

30 g loose leaf Earl Grey tea

300 g white granulated sugar

75 g light brown sugar

3 large equivalent vegan eggs

1 Tbspn homemade vanilla glycerin

6 g fresh lemon zest

360 g all-purpose flour

2.5 tsp (11.5 g) baking powder

0.5 tsp (2 g) kosher salt

Syrup:

0.75 cup water

165 g white granulated sugar

8 g loose leaf Earl Grey tea (all that would fit in my tea balls)

1 Tbspn homemade vanilla glycerin

Icing:

130 g powdered sugar

30 g lemon juice

Perhaps my tea was too old, but I expected the tea flavor to be stronger. As is, it tastes a bit like dipping a lemon-iced biscuit into milky tea. It's nice, but seems like an awful lot of work when I could get the same effect by literally dipping a lemon-iced biscuit into milky tea. It's also very messy – both to prepare, and to serve.

As always, thanks to Mary the Food Librarian for coming up with the concept of I Like Big Bundts! Her listing of previous Bundt Day posts is here.

Go make a Bundt!

To mark Indigenous People’s Day—or “Columbus Day” if you’re still up for celebrating a greedy, genocidal, racist slaver with a terrible sense of direction—we present a non-footnoted excerpt from the new book “‘All the Real Indians Died Off’: and 20 Other Myths About Native Americans” (Beacon Press, 2016).

In this portion of Chapter 3, the authors—historian, educator and American Book Award-winner Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz and journalist, researcher and educator Dina Gilio-Whitaker—skillfully dismantle the historical lies and xenophobic theories that continue to erase the horrific, lasting impact that Columbus and his ilk had on Indigenous peoples in the so-called “New World.” Brace yourself, read and share.
