This weeks #GBBO showstopper challenge:

This week want you to make a Tres Leches cake, but really just make whatever fucking cake you want. #mexicoweek

[Olive @OliveSolace2001]

SO ITS CALLED THE GREAT
BRITISH BAKE OFF AND
THEY NORMALLY MAKE
CAKES BUT LAST WEEK
THEY MADE PIZZA AND
THIS WEEK THEY MADE
TACOS AND THIS
WOULDN'T HAVE
HAPPENED IF MARY BERRY
WAS STILL ON THE SHOW AND— #GBBO

[Blake Lee @veryblakelee]

The Great British Baking Show judges made a mistake this week. They should have sent Noel home. #gbbo #mexicoweek

[Blake Lee @veryblakelee]

It’s almost like the #GBBO producers set out to make a “Mexico Week” episode without featuring a single actual Mexican baked good. They almost succeeded. #bakeoff #mexicoweek

[Blake Lee @veryblakelee]

As if Paul Hollywood knows what “works as a taco.” 🙄🙄 #bakeoff #gbbo

[Blake Lee @veryblakelee]

The number of things wrong with the new #bakeoff “Mexico Week” episode is so immediately obvious, and yet as the episode goes on it just gets worse and worse. #gbbo

[Blake Lee @veryblakelee]

@kendraffe Being fully present.

Ty for explaining myself to me 😬

I like podcasts because I aspire to constantly be distracted

p.s. not sure why the image on the first tweet is a candle (it pulled at random from the post?) but here’s the mojito in all its fuchsia glory

[Blake Lee @veryblakelee]

this weekend on lavenderfingers I wrote about my new favorite late summer drink, a prickly pear mojito slush 🍃 https://t.co/es9FsyDrBe

[Blake Lee @veryblakelee]

either way, I hope you’ll make a mojito slush of sorts & enjoy it in the late summer temps.

What online poetry pubs are you reading these days?

[Blake Lee @veryblakelee]

Just learned that in the time it takes me to write 200 words, my baby can, piece by piece, unload two bins of dirty laundry onto the floor.

Gotta get faster.

[Blake Lee @veryblakelee]

Kind of surprised no one is talking about this. No discussion on the City Council message board. No news write ups. 🤔

[AustinActionAllies @ATXactionallies]

What’s going on with items 32-36 on this Thursday’s #Austin City Council agenda? Looks like state funding *increases* to APD programs? Didn’t the Council vote in favor of @GregCasar ammendments that move to separate programs like these from APD?

I miss cooking for other people. So I started writing about cooking (and coffee and plants), hoping to share a bit of the warmth and ritual of food with others from afar:

@WriterlyTweets Minimum wage only up $2 since.

[Blake Lee @veryblakelee]

Do I need these items in my cart or am I just depressed?
