I’m clearly feeling slightly better as I’ve just spent a good ten minutes being furious about all the wrong trifles on the internet.

Excuse me, BBC Good Food?
This is an abomination.
There should be trials at The Hague for these.
*shakes head*
Nope.
😤
Honest to god I actually shouted
Shortbread biscuits? And gin? Nobody likes gin in puddings. I was an alcoholic and I wouldn’t even drink gin let alone pour it into my pudding. Hard no.
What is with all this custard at the bottom, bizarre cake placement thing? I haven’t found a single trifle on google images that looks like my dads trifle yet and it is upsetting
This is a sponge cake jammed in a glass, fgs
Absolutely not.
Greenery has no place on a trifle unless it’s green hundreds and thousands
Excuse me what
I think I might actually explode
The BBC! Again!
Even Gordon’s at it. I was almost fooled by this one at first glance but what is WITH this cake in the custard layer?!
Ah you can always rely on the Scots. ❤️ We’re getting somewhere now!
This ones got the customary can of fruit cocktail, and the Swiss roll, but all the things are in the wrong order?
I’ve saved the best-worst til last. I couldn’t speak for a full minute at this next one so if ever you want to flummox me in a debate, here’s your weapon:
*apoplectic noises*
And now, I’m off to make a PROPER trifle. Good lord.

You'll recall that we had to buy a sh*tload of grocery bags that were not included in our initial data thread

And then had to buy another sh*tload the next day 🤦‍♂️

Those paper bag runs added $386.94 to the expenditures ($193.47 x 2)

That put the grand total spent at $55,426.68:
➡️ $10 for cashier's check
➡️ $55,029.74 for food
➡️ $386.94 for bags

The Bag Fund donations exceeded what we needed though, so we capped 2020's #'s at actual expenditures and will hold the rest for 2021 (more on that down-thread)


Counting the new donors who contributed to The Bag Fund, and de-duplicating the folks who'd already donated to the main fundraiser, we ended up with 825 total donors
Friends. I would like to share my favorite food and drink discoveries from last year, many of which only came about because of the pandemic. Restaurants demonstrated their resilience and creativity month after month. Crappy photos courtesy of my phone. Long thread alert:

.@TheGreenZoneDC still serves some of the most interesting cocktails in D.C. To get them delivered, you have to purchase one food item. That's how I continued to fall in love with their muhammara (red pepper, walnut, and breadcrumb dip with pomegranate).

.@SUSHITARO_DC shelled out for great to-go packaging worthy of what's inside. Like this tuna-only chirashi (tekka chirashi). https://t.co/U51mtcFWIn


.@BombayClubDC is becoming one of D.C.'s longest tenured restaurants. When you're really hungry and craving Indian, try their dinner tiffin with tandoori salmon, lasooni palak, dal makhani, lemon cashew rice, and naan. The lentils are so rich and smoky. https://t.co/r6GxIW64sJ


Whenever we celebrated a special occasion with a pair of friends in the backyard, we ordered a paella feast for four from @jaleo. Comes w/ a paella of choice, gazpacho, salad, bread, tortilla Española, and flan. You can keep the paella pan! https://t.co/LTnSBUi4nN
