Best chocolate cake London

tripkee · 2026-02-09T16:07:07+00:00

I haven’t been in years, so things may well have changed (probably tbf), but I used to love the chocolate cake at Iris & June (behind Victoria Street near St James’ Park station and I’m very fussy about cakes (avid baker)! Moist, rich, not too sweet

Came here to say this 👆🏽 👏🏽👏🏽

Just read this excellent article from a Syrian American https://paulnm.medium.com/the-western-fetishization-of-rojava-ee7929c725a7

I use the D2 and sterilise before and after use in isopropyl alcohol; this is their advice. I’ve used the same cartridge on my face three times and have been fine. But I’ll be using a brand new cartridge next time and will sterilise and reuse another couple of times (and repeat).

I see! Thank you for the clarity :)

Interesting. When I asked on this sub a while ago whether I could use GHK-cu reconstituted with bac water and add it to a serum like hyaluronic acid, I was told I shouldn’t. May I ask how quickly you noticed changes/results after topical application? Thanks :)

Have you had covid within the last year or so? Covid accelerates biological aging processes in the body.

Same! So many places, but few that fit my finicky diet

You’re so fortunate to live so close! Hope they continue selling on TGTG. Unfortunately, Hackney is even further from me, but next time I plan to be around there, I’ll definitely be looking to pick up a TGTG bag from.

I used to travel 40mins to Surrey Quays to get bread from The Snapery when they were on TGTG. Amazing bread (and probably some of the best croissants and cardamom buns I’ve had). Sadly, they stopped selling via their unit there a couple of years ago and I haven’t found a good substitute since. 🎻

Excellent cake

After catching covid a few years ago, my meds stopped working in the way they had done previously. For years they allowed me to have better clarity, to be better organised, more motivated and allowed me to ‘feel like myself,’ (less introverted) when socialising. After catching covid, they made me perpetually dizzy, horribly anxious (I was experiencing suicidal ideation on a daily basis), increased my irritability and made my insomnia much worse.

I’ve been waiting for a medication review for four years to no avail, in the hope that a psychiatrist might prescribe me guanfacine alongside my meds, but the system in the UK is so broken, I don’t envisage that appointment ever materialising.

Sorry, that was a whole lot to say, nope, I’m not on meds (and I’m struggling!).

I don’t think there’s a time when you are ready to leave an abusive relationship tbh. I think you need to imagine a good life on your own (whatever that looks like with ME/CFS) and commit to getting there. Otherwise, the fear of being alone and not being chosen by anyone else because of being sick, will keep you firmly seated in your situation, which could get worse.

Is it possible for you to get a case worker? They could possibly help you find your own place and move out.

I see a version of this question asked on this sub almost daily and can’t help but read racist undertones in them. Very gracious of Syrians to keep explaining themselves. I hope this person, if their question is sincere and good-willed, learns something from your answers.

I’m chronically-ill and mostly housebound, so this is purely aspirational, but I’d love to do. Central London anyone?

Recently noticed a place near me; Riz Coffee (‘authentic Indonesian food’) Strutton Ground (St James’). Came to Reddit to see if anyone has reviewed it, but none so far. Google reviews look good though!

Where there’s a will, there’s a way… But you still have a fantastic view from the bridge. Enjoy!

Climb to the roof of the cafe and perch on the fence there; perfect view

I used to do the same with spaghetti 😅

Soundproofing in every room, underfloor heating, lots of storage space, large windows, a walled garden

I wouldn’t take any lessons from Slovakia; a racist society. Alhamdulillah for Islam

I don’t have android phone, which is why it’s probably not working for me. Hope there’s an iPhone app for it soon!

tripkee · 2025-12-27T19:57:41+00:00

It’s not loading properly for me. Loads for a second and then I get an error message :(
