9 d. ago How to make perfect nanaimo bars – recipe | Felicity cloake's How to make the perfect

This Canadian staple has long been interpreted differently, with various nuts and biscuit bases, but which version nails it?Canadians are famously nice – think laid-back Keanu Reeves, sunny Pamela Anderson, the charmingly incompetent Inspector Gadget – except when it comes to their beloved nanaimo bars. Get the ratio of this three-tier national treasure wrong, as the New York Times stood accused of doing in 2021, when its Instagram account posted a picture of squares that one user described as “an insult to Canadians everywhere”, and you’ll discover you can push them only so far.The Times is not alone in attracting ire.

29 December 1947: Some members are accused of showing ‘nationalist’ tendencies that are alien to the Soviet stateMoscow, DecemberUkraine, like Russia, also has its literary problems, and these have been the subject of some sharp public discussions in Kyiv lately. In September there was a plenary meeting of the board of the Ukrainian Writers’ Union, from which it clearly transpired that some of the Ukrainian novelists, poets, and critics were not doing their duty in promoting communist ideals or the Soviet way of life.In Russia two writers were selected by Zhdanov, in his famous address, as examples of “the wrong point of view” – Anna Akhmatova, who was said to be an escapist, largely living sentimentally in the past and absorbed with her personal emotions; and Zoschenko, who was described as trivial, frivolous, and cynical in his distorted portrayal of Soviet life. (Zoschenko, by the way, has since shown signs of mending his ways, and a recent number of Novy Mir published some mildl...
