You should be starting a recipe book. I don't give a shit if you're only 20-years-old. The modern web is rotting away bit by bit before our very eyes. You have no idea when that indie mom blog is going down or when Pinterest will remove that recipe. Copy it down in a notebook, physically or digitally. Save it somewhere only you can remove it. Trust me, looking for a recipe only to find out it's been wiped off the internet is so fucking sad. I've learned my lesson one too many times.
The Lackadaisy Mixer book!
...Just dropped in the Lackadaisy Shop! This is the culmination of a years-long passion project of research, recipe concocting, and photography by Nerlyn "Tomb" Galan. It grew into such a big and masterfully done collection of work, we decided to make a book out of it! It's full of character-themed cocktail and dessert recipes, 1920s history, lore, and absolutely luscious photos by Tomb herself.
There are illustrations throughout by me and numerous contributing artists, including Salem Pullen who did the back cover art.
While Crimbo shopping I stumbled upon a 90s recipe book for "Loveable Character Cakes" and was intrigued as to what characters count as loveable.
The dates added up, but I still wasn't expecting to see G2 ponies inside. They don't tend to get a lot of love.
Then there was a Sonic cake. I thought it was going to be shaped like his head, or maybe have a Green Hill Zone theme, so I was surprised it went all out on Blue Spheres
Ahem...Skooma has an important announcement to make...

Recipe of the month: Chocolate Blanc Mange (1927)
This month’s recipe offers a preview of Special Collections’ Fall exhibit: Faster and More Fun: American Home Cooking in the 1920s, which will open September 21, 2026!
Marie P. Hill. Fun in the Kitchen: A Record Cook Book of Easy Recipes for Little Girls. Chicago: Reilly & Lee Co., 1927. Gift of Eunice Burns.
Fun in the Kitchen is one of several books in this exhibit that exemplifies authors’ and publishers’ efforts to make cooking seem like a fun activity that was practically a kind of leisure, with updated appliances and the novelty of temperature-controlled gas and electric ranges.
In this book, author Marie Hill offers “easy recipes for little girls,” with pages decorated by drawings of girls with bobbed hair in oversized aprons and whimsical depictions of cats, monkeys, and toys.
An inscription on the front paste-down of JBLCA's copy reads “To Jan / Love Dad / 1927.” Jan, or Janet as she writes her own name in the book, apparently prepared several of the recipes. Her descriptions are not verbose, but she described the Chocolate Blanc Mange as “good” and recorded that it was eaten by “Janet, Grandpa, and Grandmother.”
Chocolate Blanc Mange from Fun in the Kitchen: A Record Cook Book of Easy Recipes for Little Girls (1927) Two cups milk Two tablespoons corn-starch One half cup sugar One fourth teaspoon salt Three tablespoons cocoa One half teaspoon vanilla Mix the corn-starch, sugar, salt and cocoa together in the top of the double boiler. Smooth out this mixture with a little of the cold milk. When all the lumps are removed add the rest of the milk slowly. Put two cups of hot water in the bottom of the double boiler and place over a lighted burner. Put the top part of the boiler in the lower part. When it begins to thicken on the bottom, stir constantly until it is all about as thick as custard. Take from the stove and add vanilla. This should be smooth, but if it isn’t, strain through a strainer. Let cool a few minutes and pour into a large serving dish or into individual glasses. When cold set in the ice box or a cool place. Serve with cream.
Each recipe in this book is credited to a little girl between the ages 8 and 12, so I decided to call on a child assistant to take the lead on this recipe. To a 21st century parent (at least to this one), age 8 seems young to operate a range, so I wasn’t prepared to leave my assistant chef entirely to her own devices. However, she measured and mixed the cornstarch, sugar, salt, and cocoa (perhaps not quite to Fanny Farmer’s level-measurement standard, but close enough for purposes of pudding) and poured in the milk. However, she rather lost interest during the (admittedly prolonged) stirring and waiting stage. I called her back when the pudding began to thicken and she excitedly stirred in the vanilla, and was eager to try to results, which she declared “great!”
