flea has a recipe for speculaas that she makes at Christmas. I know because I make a lame speculum joke every time I see the recipe lying around.
Riley: Oh, yeah. Sorry 'bout last time. Heard I missed out on some fun. Xander: Oh yeah, fun was had. Also frolic, merriment and near-death hijinks.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Maybe peppar maps onto "spice."

I think there's good sense in NYCistas being worried. I'm sure Boston's Great Molasses Flood of 1919 smelled pretty good at first, too.

Well, I've had my first official freak-out when I told a client on the phone that I would be out of the office this afternoon. She just flipped out like a mammal. It was great! I'm totally feeling the schadenfreude!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I left home without my migraine meds.
D'oh.
I turned back to get them, of course.

From what I'm reading, the original cakes did contain pepper as well as honey, cloves, cardamom, cinnamon and anise. They pretty much just dropped the pepper and a few other spices and replaced the honey with molasses.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

That's a shame -- pepper in spice-things is really, really good and should be done more.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."
My advice to today's cake makers is to think twice before dropping the pepper. I used to put a small amount of black pepper into my fruitcakes (including the few times I tried my hand at Black Bun) and it added a great spicy zing.

My old roommate used to make a strawberry and green peppercorn pie. You'd be amazed how good that was.
