Unfortunately, I uncovered it too soon, and the bread burned in spots. Easily picked out, thankfully.
Very tasty, once I mixed it all together! Nice texture. But I'm more allergic to apples than I used to be. :(((
Greasing the pan was completely unnecessary, lol
This took... way too long to bake. I think something is wrong with our oven (not keeping in heat, maybe?) but I didn't think it would require almost an hour and a half for the apples to get soft.
100% with you on savory meats + raisin bread. It reminds me of my favorite bagel combination (cinnamon raisin bagel, cream cheese, and either lox or, in a pinch, ham)
CARDAMOM bitters, ooooooh 👀
Which one did y'all end up going with?
A pile of buttered, cinnamon-sugar-spiced bread cubes heaped in a foil-lined baking dish. There are presumably apples under there, somewhere.
I did end up roughly doubling the bread mixture, because that's how much freezer-sad bread I had. Figured it probably wouldn't hurt anything, lol
It's in the oven now :D *rubs hands together*
(It's only now occurring to me that perhaps I should have greased the pan... oops.)
Thank you for the suggestions! Happily, I bought more apples that my partner ended up also not eating. (He's the raw apple enthusiast; I have to eat mine well-cooked.) So I ended up with 3 pounds of apples anyway! lol

(I really like my quickbreads hefty.... My banana bread recipe is very nearly a pudding lol)
Makes me want to find a different recipe for ginger-spice quickbread, though - a denser one, and definitely with the molasses flavor in there 🤔
After having this sat in the fridge for a few days and trying to eat it, I think it was just too fluffy for me. Not enough fat to hold it together, so it was somehow TOO tender. (It also hit my blood glucose like a brick, lol, due to total lack of fat or fiber)
a batch of classic tollhouse chocolate chip cookies with walnuts, cooling on a wire grid baking rack on a stainless countertop. One cookie has a bite missing. My partner started a new job this week, and I surprised him with his favorite- basic comforting choc chip cookies.

Oh yeah, right there with you - I am definitely in the camp of "if it looks and smells fine, it will probably be fine" for anything with a best by date. I was just happy to reclaim that pantry space, after 4 years of "maybe I'll get around to that special project I bought this for"! 😂
I hope your recovery is swift!
This does make me wonder if there would be some way to get the molasses flavor in, though.
It was nice to bake something that required absolutely ZERO measuring or real foreplanning. The only dishes (other than the baking dish) were the mixing bowl and spatula, and those weren't hard to wash, unlike a jillion measuring cups and spoons. (I sprinkled in the extra spices according to vibes)
As advertised, the cake is VERY fluffy with a delicate crumb. It's sweet enough (and has so little fat in it) that I decided eat it like a muffin, with butter rather than frosting — but spreading even very soft butter on it is an adventure, lol. (Might be good with cream cheese?)
This ginger beer is VERY gingery, plus I added extra spices to the cake to make up for that best-by date, lol. It ended up tasting pretty much like gingerbread, but without the roasty-bitter molasses flavors. I like it!
It rose just fine, and probably only fell in the center because it took MUCH longer to bake than the 35 min called for (I lost count of how many "just 5 more minutes" timers I set) so I kept opening the oven and jostling it.... Oops 😅 Oven probably needs calibrating.
We had some spice cake mix that had been sitting sadly in the pantry (best by date was in *2022*...) as well as some too-strong ginger beer lurking on the top shelf of the cabinet, so I decided I could probably make a dent in them both by making this recipe! :D
I'll come keep Nana company 😁😁 This all sounds good to me! The snow pudding (I'd never heard of it!) sounds like an ideal use case for pasteurized eggs.
I'm guessing that "duckling" refers more to a younger, smaller duck? (as opposed to an older one that would be tougher/more suited for stewing)

Screenshot of Karo Syrup's Frequently Asked Questions page. Text reads: Storage How should Karo® Syrups be stored? Before or after opening, Karo® Syrups may be stored at room temperature. Storage conditions affect product quality. Light corn syrup may turn slightly yellow with age, but this is normal and won’t affect results. How long can Karo® Syrups be stored? Whether previously opened or not, Karo® Syrups are safe to eat for an indefinite period of time. For best results, use by the “Best by” date stamped on the bottle.
So did the syrup pass inspection (look, smell, texture, taste)? :D
(Although that whole article reads like AI blather... it didn't even know for sure what the ingredients in Karo are? confusing)
Anyway, Karo themselves say the syrup is safe to eat indefinitely:

=OMG.=
I am unfortunately allergic to stonefruit, so plum sauce (and McDonalds' sweet and sour sauce, made with apricot/peach puree) is out of the question. But this!! This would work! aaaa Nova Scotia has saved my egg rolls!
tbh this is also what has prevented me from trying Factorio, unfortunately (watching Bear deal with the bugs, hegghghghg)
(I also feel like the EU novels DID get into the ethics, the messy stuff, the "it depends" of it all, and definitely into social justice themes, at least sometimes — albeit with variable results. But, of course, they were jettisoned as non-canon to make way for the third trilogy, so....)
It's not a matter of any one individual fan "nerding wrong" so much as a matter of statistics and risk assessment (especially considering that this was a Tumblr poll).
I don't think this means that SW fans -necessarily- align with these sentiments, and I've certainly met my share of missed-the-point, obnoxious Trek fans.
But because there's less to challenge one's viewpoint in SW, it's a bigger gamble when it's some random stranger professing fandom affiliation.
This aligns DIRECTLY with far-right talking points framing themselves as pushing back against liberalism/socialism that threatens "freedom" via oppressive moralizing and government control.
