    A silly mistake did I make. In one of the quotes, I said “miffing” when it should be “missing”. Of course it’s because I read those 18th century s’s as f’s. I did a whole video on that letter in old fonts, yet here we are 😂

      Im gonna watch them in that exact order and Im on season two of Discovery. Lower Decks was a rip roaring good time. 🐨
      Ive got my criticisms of Discovery but I think its pretty true to what Trek is supposed to mean to me according to how I interpret Roddenberry's vision. Just hope it doesnt sour itself in later seasons.
      After that its time for the obligatory full series rewatch. I gotta ask whos your favorite captain? Heres a dead giveaway for mine. ⚾️

    In the past, we made a batch of rout cakes for an informal tea party. Not being a fan of the floral flavors, we changed the recipe using the zest from lemons. Also, instead of raisins, we used dried cranberries that were soaked for a while in the brandy before adding to the flour mix. This version was greatly appreciated and we've made it on occasion. We have made scones with the cranberries and lemon zest before so we already knew that this flavor combination would go well in the rout cakes.

    Interesting episode, thank you. I grew up on scones & rock cakes usually being kept in a biscuit tin for you to have a rummel about in if you were peckish. Must say I prefer plump raisins over currants in them as the latter can be gritty or go hard once baked. Though a quick pre-soak in rum or sherry can fill out their wrinkly appearance. The rout cakes live in a little scone adjacent family with Fat Rascals, Splits, the Yorkshire Quarters & the best of the bunch Fattie Cutties from Orkney. 😋 (Wonder if any of them make it into your Biscuit book?)
