Things are still going as normal as ever over at Twitter....

Now this is interesting! I have a cookbook of recipes from schoolkid's parents in the Fredericksburg Texas. It contains recipes from 1916 to 1996. Fredericksburg had a very heavy German population back in the very early days, and even now keeps a lot of its German traditions.

One that's always intrigued me was a recipe for Milchsuppe from a Mrs. Striegler in 1916. After watching this video I went back to the cookbook and looked over the recipe and sure enough it's roughly the same thing! Mrs. Henke has another version from 1916 as well that includes rice and replaces cinnamon with nutmeg to make a kind of kheer-ish rice pudding.

As part of Jenn's Great Reset, I'll be closing the Patreon at the end of the month. While comics will be restarting, I don't feel having a Patreon that pulls money from readers on a VERY irregular manner is right, and that they can donate via PayPal as they wish.

Decided not to cook this weekend as I had lots of leftovers from last week (I made 5 days of food, for a four day week, and then the weekend food I bought didn't get eaten), so I'm pushing that off to this upcoming weekend.

I do worry that some of the ingredients I had to get will go bad, but we'll see how that looks on Friday afternoon.

Probably gonna make a personal batch of cinnamon rolls, too, for freezing. :)

Hrm - MLK Day is a Three Day Weekend. Should I head to Canada for the weekend?

I once launched a paper airplane off the Speakeasy patio, 7 stories up. It flew FOREVER. This was the design I used: http://www.zurqui.co.cr/crinfocus/paper/airplane.html

So, I'm pulling some time-based stuff off of old archives now that I'm thinking about it, and I'm glad I didn't need anything from 2020. That archive is missing a TON of stuff.

::cracks knuckles:: I just got asked to write a fan script for something I'm a fan of. My New Year's resolution of "stop trying to sell your stuff, no one is buying it, and just do what you want and publish for free" is off to a good start!
