Drawing Challenge Day 2:
I wasn't all too inspired and quite tired. So here's a weird-looking plague doctor where the shadows aren't the only thing she should be concerned about.

Made a deal with a friend to draw something—anything—every day. 'Cause drawing takes practice and making practice a daily habit is our only realistic chance to improve. This is Day 1:

Friendship Cuddles

On a hot and rainy summer night
It is Netflix and Chill
But for the chill
Mixed with a dash
Of danger.

The pain of reading one-shots, illustration, pixels on screen, c. 2019.

This is perfection

of course, the app UTTERLY CONSUMED the image, including the *meticulously* handcrafted caption.

"The Day I Tried to Go on the Offensive" is 👌👌

An wizard-sapper and his vampire sister hunt a literal witch thru Saxony in 1841 to find out why their grandfather went missing. I'm really excited to see where this one is going. #RPG #osr #ttrpg

Sometime, taking my daily walk far too late to see the sun isn't that bad after all.

The jeans pattern is coming along well: I've just pinned some seams on the freshly cut fabric for a quick toile. The parts are fitting together reasonably well so far.

Constructing a dungeon for a TTRPG: I'm coming up with a murder plot on a sinking ship shaped like an iceberg. If my players approve of this dungeon, I might even write it down neatly and make it public.

Today was a good day: Yesterday night snow started to fall and today the whole town was white. It's really bright when I look outside, which raises my mood considerably.

Brewing Day 2: This time it's more chemistry and less reproducing old recipes.
I prepared some 500 ml jars with a 35% sugar solution and four different flavors (FLTR): Cocoa, vanilla and cinnamon; strawberry tea; green tea with lemon; and control (no flavor).

I found the traditional birthday cake recipe of my mother's family: mandarin torte!
It's a bit hard to read for me, but this old cookbook really has a lot of charm (transcription is in the image description and here: https://rentry.co/gyhca).

The whole, very basic brewing setup. The towel keeps the light out and the fridge (ironically) provides a temperature just above 16°C.

I started brewing some mead using a, let's say, creative airlock: After closing the jar I pulled the gasket out a bit. It's still making a seal but the flap part isn't wedged in between the lid and the jar. When pressure builds the gasket flap is pushed out just a bit to let the CO₂ escape. There's also a bit of liquid that's getting pushed out, so I'm positiv that no air is getting back in. We'll see how well this works out in about two weeks of time.
