I am notoriously late to most TV shows that others find entertaining. I waited until Breaking Bad had ended before I ever started watching. The upside is that I didn’t have to wait; I binged all the seasons over a month or so. I’ve done the same thing with Game of Thrones. I just didn’t like the show the first season. After getting bored over the weekend, I ended up binging through to season four and I’m hooked now.
It seems that each time Sansa Stark loses a family member, someone tries to feed her lemon cakes; they are her favorite after all. I’m rather fond of lemony cake goodness myself and rather wondered what a Game of Thrones lemon cake would taste like.
Now you can make your own lemon cakes if you follow this simple recipe from Geeky Chef. I’m going to make some to snack on while I watch Sansa’s latest humiliation.
Do you want to smell like one of the houses from Game of Thrones? Maybe the Lannisters? How about the Starks? Let’s face it, you wouldn’t want to smell like most characters from Westeros. Except for Denerys. You know that she smells good. You can’t look that good and not smell good – even if you have been walking through the Red Waste for weeks. But everyone in the seven kingdoms might smell nicer if they had these soaps.
These house sigil soaps by GeekSoap are pretty neat. They will evoke sweet scents that make you think of each house. There’s Stark, Lannister, Baratheon, and Targaryen. The Lannister scent is “Pride” made from patchouli, plumeria, and orange. I guess that seems about right. Stark’s scent is “Betrayal,” a crisp combination of pine, cedar, and eucalyptus with just a hint of campfire. Yep. That’s how I always imagined they would smell. You get the idea.
There’s no Greyjoy because no one wants to smell like salt water and seaweed. They are just $6(USD) each. Or you could just pay the iron price.
