food
Dwell's Alice Wolfe is fed up with the prevailing aesthetic of coffee shops: sterile, minimalist, and intentionally less welcoming. She writes with nostalgia about the homey feel of early '90s and 2000s cafes that were built for socializing, open after 6 p.m., and designed to encourage patrons to stay a while.
Do you still like to spend time in cafes? Tell us in the comments what type of places people just... hang out in these days.

In the meantime, since @justine rightly argued that I can't eat only tiramisu, here is a fish lasagna.
Wacky Cake
This recipe comes from the Great Depression when butter, eggs, and milk were rationed.
DRY
1.5 cups flour
1 cup white sugar *
4 tbsp cocoa powder
1tsp baking SODA
1/2 tsp salt
WET
1 cup warm water
6 tbsp oil*
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp white vinegar
1. Preheat oven 350°F
2. Spray oil two 8"x8" baking pans. ** This needs to done BEFORE you mix the batter.
3. In a large bowl add all DRY ingredients and whisk well to distribute the baking soda evenly. Create a well in the center.
4. In another bowl, add and stir together all the WET ingredients.
5. Give the wet ingredients a quick stir to incorporate the oil and slowly pour into the DRY ingredients. Whisk together until all the lumps are gone. The batter will froth a bit because the vinegar and baking soda are reacting.
6. IMMEDIATELY divide the batter between the two baking pans. Tap the pans on the counter to remove any larger bubbles. Place in oven and bake at 350°F for 12-15 mins.
** Until tooth pock pulls clean.
* I use 3/4 cup of sugar and only 5 tbsp oil to reduce calories.
This cake also freezes well.
If you use 2 - 8"x8" pans the layers will be thin and will cook with 12-15 minutes.
** If use only 1- 8"x8" pan, it will take 18-20 mins.
Extra: instead of frosting, I add a handful of chocolate chips to top of cake when come out of oven to melt, then spread evenly w spatula. This creates a chocolate coating like on z dingdong.

Is it cake? Not quite. 🍰
Made with embroidery and polymer clay, Heather Rios's layered slices are deliciously deceptive.

Is it a uniquely American cultural peculiarity to promote your food brand by driving a giant version of a sausage or spud around the country? Atlas Obscura looks at how Blue Diamond's Nutty Cruiser (a 20-foot-long almond on wheels with a nut-shooting cannon on its front) is joining the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile and the Big Idaho Potato Truck on the road. “It is a very smooth ride,” says marketer Ralph Failla. “[The drivers] said it feels like driving on air.” Tell us in the comments if your country has a Poutine Machine or Camembert Camion (or make up your own version for our collective entertainment).
