I don't love The Studio - the humor is a bit broad, and the satire a bit too on the nose - but this was pretty great.

I don't need to say too much about this pie. I keep making it, and it's reliably great every single time.
This time I made it the night before, so it benefitted from a full 24 hours in the fridge. Came out perfectly.
200,000/10. This is outstanding pie.

O terrifying lords of the newborn year, I come before you with my first offering of this new era: a Grasshopper Pie.
May its booze-soaked combination of chocolate and mint be worthy of your approval.

My Switch 2 arrived! I did get Donkey Kong (which seems okay?) but the game I'm most interested in playing is...Breath of the Wild, a game I first played through on WiiU, then Switch 1.
The new features seem fine. Mostly it's the resolution and framerate that are exciting.

I was planning to bake a pie tonight for my wife's birthday tomorrow, but our cooktop stopped working. Repairman is coming this week, but I was all geared up and ready to go for a pie!

Day two of this pie, like most custard pies, is even better!
I mean, just look at this thing. Deeeeeelicious.

I'm loving all the New Vegas in Fallout season 2, and practically screamed when Victor showed up.
But it sucks that they recast the role. It's not like they couldn't have gotten William Sadler!
Whoever is doing the voice is fine, but he's no Sadler.

Verdict on the French Apple Tart: so good! Incredibly apple-forward.
I've made tarts before, but this might be the best one I've ever done.
150,000/10. That's a fine tart.

You know I've been watching a lot of Bake-Off, because I did the dramatic side-pan drop. Alas, I didn't catch it on video.
Still, as the sailor said down by the docks, "That's a good looking tart!"

Update: as you'd expect, an extra 24 hours in the fridge let the pie set even more, resulting in some really beautiful layers.
Still tastes mostly of ganache, and the tea is as minimal as before. But it sure does look pretty now!
Also forgot the hashtag yesterday! #pieforthepiegods

Verdict on the Earl Gray Pie: it's...okay?
There's a layer of chocolate ganache, a layer of white chocolate mousse (both steeped in tea) and then whipped cream. And they actually set, which I'm still amazed by! But really all you taste is the ganache.
150/10. Interesting, but not great.
