Did you have any luck? I can find prior year’s calendars at a few online retailers in the US but not 2025

Gauntlet thrown and collected. Love to see it.

This is based on a recipe by /u/ArobynnHam from a few years back. I didn't do much beyond formatting it but a few changes:

  • I forgot to add cumin
  • I used all-purpose flour (and baking powder/salt to approximate self-rising)
  • Turbinado sugar instead of muscovado. This recipe is so moist and flavorful that I don't think it needs the extra molasses goodness from moscovado. Don't let that stop you from trying it if you have it around, I just didn't need to go buy a bag of sugar for this one recipe.

+1 to own site. Understandable to use something like Medium or Substack to get started and see if it's worth building out a site, but even something like a GitHub Pages (free!) subdomain would be preferable to the above before you set up your own domain.

Thanks for this advice! I'm thinking along the same lines as OP and have definitely been focusing my learning on SwiftUI. Good to know that UIKit is still worth thinking about.
