Oh man, opening coconuts by hand AND realizing last minute that your recipe was AI? I did not know when I sat down to read this that I would need some popcorn.

Oh my god, Mary Berry has fallen! We have a load of her cookbooks (she holds British National Treasure status) so I assumed it would be that... Turns out the first few pages of DuckDuckGo are just SEO'd AI Mary Berry robots. Madness.

There is no universe in which I would attempt to open a coconut myself, so I have to give you kudos for that. The cake looks great!

Loved reading about your cake journey! If I had bag of self-rising flour to use up I'd engage in a mess of biscuit making.

Mary Berry is the only person on earth who I enjoy watching chew. Coconut and lemon dream yum. Keep on cracking on.

Just adding another dish, and... what's this? A new badge on the Potluck Announcement page you can earn??? (A very niche badge, to be sure, but it's there if you haven't decided what to make yet!)

Hi all! I had to visit my grandma this weekend, she's old. I received many signups (yay!) and will catch up on them tomorrow. Email sent date is what counts for the badge :)

I will be honest the color theme has completely paralyzed me. I cannot for some reason think of anything yellow I want to make. And the irony is that yellow is my favorite color.

New website idea: I start collecting user data so at the end of the year I can offer Skep's Place Wrapped

I'm no expert but this sounds like something that could be pulled off with localStorage. Maybe. Also I think it would be very funny-- I mean economical if this was actually a thing

yeah that's easily doable with localStorage. i have no clue how a Skep's Place Wrapped would look like tho LOL

"Hey Skep, you have like a full year to plan this, you think you might want to spend some of that time learning CSS grid?" "Nah I'll wing it a week and a half into the event"

Grids are weird and scary. The foods look yummy though, and on theme! Would it be wrong to make banana bread now that there's already banana bars? o.o💦

dude css grids ROCK i use them like all the time. i also recommend learning css flex. grid protip: if you have a grid container of a fixed height (e.g. 100vh or sometimes 100%) and you want its child element to not interfere with the layout should it have overflow, apply the following to the child element: {height:0;min-height:100%;overflow:auto}. this makes the child not contribute to the layout of the parent and si

mply makes it take up the remaining space. if the child is larger than the remaining space, it will simply scroll. i need to make a blog post about this because this one simple trick saved my ass so many times

@Twig Every potluck known to man includes at least three pasta salads, so based off of that logic I wouldn't worry about it. Make what you want!

@skep Yay, okay! @brachypelmide I like using flex sometimes! I just tend to forget how it works whenever I make new layouts, but it is easier to understand to me than grids ^^'

No, they asked the bartender to turn this fruity, neon-green house cocktail into a shot.

I just made a meal with coconut curry and corn chips and cheddar with some secret non-yellow things, but then I mindlessly inhaled it before I could take a picture! Will try again.

Man my last year's potluck entry was the most yellow dish in my usual repertoire, should've saved it for this year!! Need to have a big think for this one.
