This is a stand alone because it so precisely sums up every complaint I have had about the "experts" for the past decade. They always imply the "science is settled" and you should just shut up and believe what the experts say.
As a scientist, I have been crushed to hear the stupidity...that you are not supposed to question. My most concerning moment came when they started to dictate masks. I looked up the studies for using masks for viruses...and they all said they were useless...especially for lay people who wouldn't use/fit them properly. I then went back to those studies a few weeks later and they had been taken down...WTF. And not because the data was found to be faulty, but for political reasons.
Fooled one time is a lesson, fooled twice is a choice...never again.

Mark requested a yule log cake so I reached out to my gutter family. 90% of you responded with “buy one“….Which I appreciate. However, a few Gutter souls delivered. Congratulations to @Kimmiesee for her Yule Log salted caramel filling recipe.. so good so good(I used Cook’s Illustrated sponge cake recipe but used Kim’s filling). Also, congratulations to @jennybadger2 for her jellyrole recipe. Mark asked me to do one with jam and here it is. I will be making this one for Mark‘s 64th birthday on February 10- because LOVE.
Thank you everyone else for sending me their recipes. I will be definitely using @MarkLawson buttercream frosting and if I ever find white chocolate pudding mix, I will try @Mmmril Sandra Lee recipe.
Please keep an eye out for an email from a Gutter team member @Kimmiesee and @jennybadger2.
