Anyway - for anyone seeing this for the first time (probably not many of you, as I am always late to this sort of posting party), follow this account. It is a delightful reminder of one of the more pleasant things we, as a species, can cultivate.

Canada uses a mix - so you could argue it's Canadian English.

I so badly need this link.

granted, I have no idea how these fires started. Rain might have nothing to do with it. So let's call it three crises - two fires, and a drought.

so...not to get to distracted..but a) officers not passing a fitness test seems off point b) holding that pace for 1.5 miles would be not easy for most. It's a sub-4 marathon pace....even the people that run marathons in under 4 hrs rarely run that pace in 4 months of training.

or shame someone else?

it is solidly neither of those things. What the hell was the point in the OP saying that other than to self-elevate?

This is beyond exciting!!

I mean...you could hang this on a wall...

but much of this depends on the rest of the bake - so if you are cutting it in, or stirring only so many times that has an effect as well on the how many holes, size and so on.

Others have said it here - cold butter takes longer to melt during baking than soft or melted butter. The net effect is that the non-butter parts of the dough bake slightly faster than the very cold butter melts, leaving air pockets. This can give a flaky or spongey texture (depending).

All to say, anyone who stepped into the city between 2007 and early 2010 would have seen ample, very visible evidence of terrible damage caused by the subprime mortgage industry.
