My friend Kate at chicalookate.com makes all these neat pop culture quote items (including more than a few book/author ones!) and she just made a new pencil set of Great British Bake Off quotes! Of course I HAD to buy a set. 😍🍰👩‍🍳✏

Beatlefan129 That is fabulous! I ❤️❤️❤️ The Great British Bake Off 6y
GondorGirl @Beatlefan129 Me too! My husband is hooked on it now too. We've started over at the first season Netflix has and have been rewatching it all. Sometimes we'll find a fancy bakery when we're traveling for work and get to try some of the things they make on the show! 6y

I was supposed to go to a book club meeting, but instead I locked my keys in my car with my phone and work keys and had to wait 90+ minutes for a locksmith. So instead I got a giant bacon cheeseburger and am watching GBBO. How's your night going?

Redwritinghood Sounds awful! My night has been pretty quiet. 😴😴 6y
imabusybee That doesn't seem so bad in the end😋Yum!!🍔 6y
AnimalRiotPress Well at least that‘s a pretty good remedy for after the fact 🍔🥧 6y

Tamra Well, that sounds like more of us should lock our keys in the car! 6y
Librarybelle Oh no! But, that show is great mind candy, so at least that helps! 6y
CouronneDhiver Has your valentine‘s gift arrived in the mail yet? Just checking 🤞🏽 6y
ferskner @CouronneDhiver I *think* so - I got a notice that I have a package at the leasing office, but their hours don't allow me to pick it up until Saturday. I'll let you know! 6y

Right as I'm knee deep in a Great British Baking Show binge, one of the bookish candles shops I buy from announced a non-bookish Dec candle of the month - Star Baker! I'm tempted ya'll, and have no business buying more candles right now 🙈

BookishMarginalia I love candles! 6y
DivineDiana Can‘t get enough candles! 6y
Reviewsbylola I have a serious candle problem at the moment. 6y

MicheleinPhilly I just spent way too much money on a couple of holiday candles when we went to buy the tree. There was a glitch when she scanned one and the price came up as $341,275. I almost fainted. 6y
Tamra Tis the season for both baking & candles! 6y
swishandflick Same!! My bookish candles addiction has gotten out of control! @BookishMarginalia @DivineDiana @Reviewsbylola 6y
swishandflick @MicheleinPhilly Oh man, that would have gotten me too! Hopefully it was caught well before your credit card got anywhere close to it 😆 6y
MicheleinPhilly I was about to insert the card and snapped back like I had been stung. Although I probably would have just gotten a call from my bank featuring someone laughing at me. 6y

This is one of the times I wish there was a reading on Litsy between Pick and So-So. This is good with a lot of classic British baking recipes; nothing Cray though. My biggest issue with it is that the measurements are in grams. And yes I get that those are the measurements used across the pond, but it probably would've been useful to also include cups and such as well. Regardless, a few recipes were copied out before it went back to the library.

I'm fighting some sort of bug that has me all achy, so Pippin and I are cuddling and watching Great British Bake Off. Hopefully tomorrow I'll feel up to reviewing the two books I finished this week.

GondorGirl @dolly I'm obsessed! I'm almost out of episodes on Netflix and I'm going to be so sad! 7y
LiteraryinPA I‘m watching it right now too!!! Very good choice if you‘re feeling sick. Hope you‘re better soon! 7y

TaylorMay ❤💙❤ Yes this show!!! I had to start googling how to find past seasons because Netflix had almost nothing! 7y
Lcsmcat Feel better soon, and Pippin, take care of your mama. 😻 7y
GondorGirl @taylormay Did you find any good sources for more episodes? 7y
TaylorMay Not *legally* 😱 but I was using a computer that I wasn't super worried about. 7y
TaylorMay Honestly the first and only time I have/will ever pirate a show. I'm also in the process of buying the DvDs 7y
cobwebmoth Feel better soon! 7y
Dolly @TaylorMay Utube has some episodes don‘t know if they are the same ones. Would you tag me if Netflix has different ones? So sad they made changes to the show. American one went pffft because of one of the judges abuse accusations 7y
TaylorMay @dolly I watched them through a different site. But wow. I was wondering what happened to the American one. I couldn't find it anywhere. That stinks for those poor bakers though 😢 7y
Dolly Agreed, not fair to the contestants I‘m sure it‘s not easy and very nerve wracking being on those shows and now abruptly cancelled because some guy couldn‘t (allegedly) behave himself 😡 7y

Someone fell asleep after dinner while watching GBBO. Couldn‘t grab a book before he did so I am trying to knit and not move as much as possible! 😬

Godmotherx5 Been there, too. 💝 7y
stargazerblue49 @Godmotherx5 Gotta take the snuggle time while we can get it! Even if we‘re so tired that we fall asleep! 7y
Godmotherx5 I totally agree. I think of it as our way of stopping to smell the roses. 7y

After binge watching many seasons of The Great British Baking Show (or whatever it's called) plus a couple seasons of Paul and Mary's masterclasses, I HAD to dust off my Kitchenaid and attempt bread. It's cooling now. I'm so nervous.

Bookzombie It looks delicious! 7y
Cinfhen Looking good!!!! 7y
Sace Looks wonderful! Oh I bet the house smells good. 😊 7y

What is the Great British Bake off without #sugar? Scones, sponges, puddings all need sugar, sugar, sugar. 🍰🍮🍩
I LOVE this show! Its the equivalent of eating sugar. I just want more. Makes me sad that Mel, Sue, Mary and Paul won't be filming it anymore.

I'm trying to figure out how to break it to Zelda that I only sat down for a short break to watch some Great British Bake Off, and now I have to get up to clean the kitchen and fold the laundry before I go to bed. She's so contented with her spot on my lap I can hardly bear to disturb her. #catsoflitsy #littenkitten

Mel, Sue, Mary Berry, omg ALL THE PASTRIES? These are all seriously addictive to the little girl that sort of wanted an easy-bake oven but was a bit too old for one. Now I'm really more of a cook than a baker - I only bake when I can make use of my bread machine, as in the pizza above. But Mary is a total inspiration, and the hosts are cards. I can't wait to see what they do next. #90sToy #octphotochallenge catchup, day 17 and #reallifeperson

I am so ready to dive into making things from this! However, all the measurements are in grams. Because of course they are. It's British. Conversions here I come!

Magslhalliday Just to confuse matters, I'm British but tend to convert from g to oz as I was raised cooking in oz! I get bewildered by the idea of a "stick of butter" when reading American recipes on Pinterest! 8y
Bookrarian @Magslhalliday it's nearly indecipherable! But the profiles on the bakers and the pictures are great. I'm using it more for inspiration until I get a digital scale, lol. 8y
