The Great British Bake Off is back and as pun-tastic as ever.
Apart from the over-zealous use of the word ‘moist’, the word ‘drizzle’ had its moment in the baking spotlight too.
And then there was Mary Berry’s reaction to the use of gin in a drizzle cake for the first task.
Yes peeps, things are hotting up in the kitchen.

Mary’s reaction was PRICELESS…

Tom is smart, indeed but let us not forget the other favourite buzz word of the first episode, DRIZZLE.
Yes, very true…
If I got a pound for every time someone said drizzle I'd be able to pay off my student loan by now #bakeoff

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
