By popular demand! (Where popular = [personal profile] yuuago  + [personal profile] schneefink )

Ingredients
125g shredded coconut/coconut powder
80g melted butter
80g sugar
100g flour
5g yeast
1 whole egg

Notes )

Recipe
Pre-heat oven at 180°C.
Mix all ingredients. It is a very dense dough, so I recommend not using a whisk.
Make dough blobs. Remember to practice physical distancing.
Cook for 10mn.
Eat! They keep for at least a week. I've always eaten them before then.

I also call these my "blood donation cookies" because I make them to eat a few days before giving blood and eat them daily until and after I do give blood. Coconut is high in iron! And it is a good excuse for cookies.

Earlier today I was listening to a podcast about Dracula* and it reminded me that I never talked about the three things I think are really important about Dracula and yet are left out of almost all adaptations.

(\(*vv*)/) )


*Dracula ou les Dents du désir which was quite good and interesting although it did contain the boiling hot take of "protestants write vampires more than catholics because their church does not provide enough blood and drama". I really want to see the research on that, no lie.

So I just found out that some US jerkass vandalised the Scots language version of Wikipedia by writing articles in English with a phonetic accent which WOW FUCK YOU.

As a speaker of a minority language (brezhoneg) I am kind of righteously mad? It's hard enough finding resources about/in small languages without people deliberately pissing in the pot, ffs.

Thankfully brezhoneg looks nothing like French, so whenever I visit the bzh wiki in peace, but that doesn't help Scots speakers, does it?

(Yes. I sometimes visit the brezhoneg wiki. I am trying to improve my literacy, ok.)

(Most recently I was looking at the page for Kartada (Carthage), because I was looking for thie bit of info "Dont a ra hec'h anv eus ar Fenikianeg Qart-ḥadašt (diskrivadenn vrezhonekaet: Kart C'hadacht)" ie "Its name comes from the Phoenician Qart-ḥadašt (transliterated in breton as Kart C'hadacht)" (bolding mine). Just needed to make sure I was pronouncing it right in my head. Which I was, having assumed the ḥ to be be equal to c'h on absolutely no basis at all. /end tangent)
