Bee Sting Cake | 
Just starting this one. It opens a week after ‘Stargazy Pie‘. It‘s odd (or maybe it‘s a fad) that they address each other as ‘Mr Greewing‘ and ‘Mr Dart‘ when they‘re only just out of university and have been friends from school. I‘d like to read the story of Mrs Etaris‘s youth; I wonder if it‘s told in one of the books in this series? Every chapter title is someone having an idea.

humouress Bee sting cake is a German dessert made with a yeast dough with a baked on topping of almonds, honey and cream. It is connected to a C15th legend of baker‘s assistants defending their town from attack by a neighbouring town by throwing bee hives at the attackers. It has a filling of custard or buttercream (which would have been difficult for early versions as it would need to be kept cool). 1w
humouress Tad Finknottle - an homage to PGW‘s Gussie Fink-Nottle? At least we get more of an idea about Jemis‘s family. Very more-ish. (edited) 1w
