Can you link a recipe for Boston cake? I'm curious, but Google isn't forthcoming.

It's basically just cinnamon rolls with plum jam (or whatever you like, apple is pretty popular too) baked in a cake pan so that they fuse together to form a cake.

Here's the recipe for dough:

http://mammituokkonen.blogspot.fi/2014/03/pulla.html

e: Don't use soy milk or vanilla sugar, also add 2 tea spoons of salt.

And here's the same person's cake recipe with :barf: vanilla filling:

http://mammituokkonen.blogspot.fi/2014/09/boston-cake-bostoninkakku.html

Like all pulla it's best when it's still fresh.

Lifehack if you don't have to stir the peanut butter before you eat it it's not good peanut butter.

No the stuff you have to stir is awful, I just want peanut butter with no sugar, little bit of salt, and whatever chemical it takes to keep it from separating.

Hydrogen.

Oils are hydrogenated to prevent them from separating.

This creates trans fatty acids, which are bad.

Yes, that's why we call North America pancakes pancakes (or panquecas).

I realize pancakes must be called something else in Québec but you should have crêpes in Québec City and bagels in Montréal, so I have never looked for pancakes on a menu there.

When I was about five years old I decided to make my own peanut butter with some peanuts and a hammer.

It didn't work very well. Failed lifehack. (Lifehammer?)

Making your own peanut butter is a legit lifehack. You need a reasonably good food processor, and above anything else you need to run it for a lot longer than you think you do. They go very crumbly and firm before they begin to get smooth and you'll think it's not gonna work out but it will.

Actual useful lifehack: Leave your bread slices out overnight if you're going to make french toast the next day. 8-12 hours of going stale makes the bread stiff enough to not become soggy garbage.

I usually smoke my toast for at least 24 hours before sous vide in the eggs then a liquid nitrogen bath into a commercial deep fryer to crisp for that perfect french toast taste.

Also bake it off in the oven for 5mins @ 350°F. Even if it is not stale bread it will come out of the oven nice and firm.

Unless it's made in the Champagne region of France, it's properly still called just "bread".
