It’s a good cake. Are your ingredients at room temperature? Cakes work best when all the ingredients are at room temp.

The Irish Club’s Stew by Nigella.

I feel sad for Nigella not having a decent Irish stew before the version that inspired this. I’ve had plenty and this is now an addition to them.

Clementine Cake by Nigella.

Boil some clementines for a couple of hours, allow them go cold, then beat some eggs, sugar and almonds, mix and bake! As delicious as it is easy!

Release the Epstein files.

*I’ll abduct a president instead.*

Release the Epstein files.

“How about I hijack an oil tanker?”

Release the Epstein files.

“I know! I’ll attack Greenland.”

Release the Epstein files.

Fascism is unfolding right in front of our eyes and it has never looked more stupid.

I will never understand how Donald Trump’s career did not end with this:
January 6, 2026 at 9:46 PM
A fascist egomaniac like Donald Trump will not stop at Venezuela, Greenland, etc.

Remember, he lied & attacked Congress & the Capitol in his own country 5 years ago.

If he can profit from it, he will try to take it.

Now is the time for strong world leaders to act, not cower.
January 6, 2026 at 9:32 PM
Trump is only interested in their oil just as he’s only interested in Palestinian lands & Ukrainian’s rare resources. He has no interest in Venezuelans. This just opens the door to him hijacking Greenland & other countries because he feels like it. You’re right; Maduro needed to go but not by Trump.
January 4, 2026 at 1:40 PM
I get that but it up to Venezuelans to act in their own country, not Trump.
January 4, 2026 at 12:45 PM
Trump thinks as much about the people of Venezuela as he does about Epstein’s victims.
January 4, 2026 at 12:13 AM
So, we’re just allowing countries illegally invade and overtake other countries now?

An absolute shit show from supposed leaders as Trump robs Venezuela of its oil.

Will this be “copy and paste’ when he does the same to Greenland?

This is why Trump doesn’t support Ukraine.
