169 people on an island that is sometimes inaccessible. Sign me up. My neck of the woods has been “found” so it’s not so nice and peaceful these days.

Hmm, the cake recipe in the comments sounds a bit off. Four cups of milk and one boxed yellow cake mix?

It's a tall piece of yellow cake with layers of thin cake and
chocolate icing. Somewhat unremarkable.

If I recall correctly, linguists have studied the dialect and speech patterns of people from Smith Island. They speak a distinct dialect there. But that may be changing as that island is not so isolated anymore.

I’ve tried the Smith Island cake, and I can’t say I’m impressed.
