Mucking about with my site again, very slowly. wholewheattoast.com/2026/01/jan-... Couple of drawings, keeping a list of "songs of the day", and a few notes about books I'm currently reading.

Drawing of a man sitting at a table with an open notebook. The word, "Reality" floats above them. Below in quotes, "I looked up 'butt' on wikipedia."

Finally got around to proofing this plate. It will need at least another state, needs to be punched up. Reworked a proof with pen and ink to get a sense of what to do next.

Two etching proofs on paper. Proof on the right reworked with pen and ink.

Made pancakes from this recipe Edward Gorey sent to a friend in a letter. Turned out pretty great. Would recommend.

Recipe:

[EG enclosed the pancake recipe with this letter.]
David Eyre's Pancake
4 servings
1/2 c Flour
1/2 c Milk
2 Eggs
1 pn Nutmeg
4 tb Butter
2 tb Confectioners' sugar
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, milk, eggs, and nutmeg. Beat lightly. Leave the batter a little lumpy. Melt butter in 12" skillet with heatproof handle. When very hot, pour in batter. Bake in oven 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Sprinkle with sugar and return briefly to the oven. Sprinkle with lemon juice, then serve with jelly, jam, or marmalade.
It is presumably Craig Claiborne who advises that one serve this while listening to Benjamin Britten's Ceremony of Carols.

Oh, so all the "fun" stuff ended up here. Maybe I'll look around a bit. Masto feels a bit dull.
