Ch21, p54
And that’s a wrap on Chapter 21! I absolutely LOVED working on this chapter. Abeille and Miel went through so much, but they made some big steps as well, Abeille especially! I love that this will be the first chapter of the *eventual* Volume 4. It’s such a great place to start on a book/volume!
As usual with the end of a chapter, I will be taking a short break (a few weeks) from posting comic pages. I will be using that time to write the script for Chapter 22 as well as working on the material for Love Not Found Volume 3 and the coinciding Kickstarter campaign! There will continue to be new bonus material posting at Patreon in the time in between!
“The perfect couple doesn’t exi–“
*sigh* my heart.
Gina- you’ve perfectly captured a portrait of a “mixed marriage” – one where a partner is comfortable at much lower (or higher) ambient temperatures than their significant other. It’s a great picture of DH and myself if you add in 50+ years. With A/C set at 76 he’s wearing warm fuzzy fleece pjs to bed to stay comfie under a cotton sheet and comforter, and I’m sleeping in a T shirt atop the covers. Sure do wish there was a small feat of human engineering that could make us all comfortable at higher temps, the way world weather is heading.
*applause and tears*
Gina- Will your announcement about the handheld Volume 3 be made here, and will it be a Kickstarter? I need to start saving my pocket change if the kickstarter will be within 90 days, and if it won’t be within 90 days, I must practice my meditation and “adulting” for not getting what I want as soon as I want it…BTW my “official”, legal name that I shuddered to hear my parents call because it meant bad things were coming for me, is also “Honeybee”, in Greek. BTW do you have a good recipe for sandeesh?(been rereading Volume 1)
Hiya! It will be a Kickstarter and I will definitely announce it here as well as repeatedly over social media as the time draws near! I will announce dates when I am further along in prepping the book, but ideally I would like to launch sometime in September.
RE: Sandesh. I do not have a recipe on hand that I would particularly recommend, but I wonder if another LNF bud might have one to share!
I never tried making it, but I found recipes. It’s amazing the feeling of nostalgia I get from remembering earlier parts of the story.
In the recipes it is essentially cheese with flavoring. For example, Gulabi Sandesh is rose flavored:
1.5 cups Paneer/Chenna
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp Rose water (Gulab jal)
1/2 pistachio nut
1 fresh rose petal
Knead paneer until it is smooth and mix in the flavoring. Form into a bite sized ball. Make an indentation, and place the nut in it and a rose petal on the top.
Other recipes are more elaborate with cardamom included, etc. And rose flavored Sandesh is only one type of Sandesh.
Paneer/Chenna is curdled milk that has been left in cheese cloth (cottage cheese). The milk is curdled using lemon juice, citric acid, yoghurt or other acidic ingredients. Or you can buy it. The kneading is supposed to make it soft and smooth, rather than it’s usual hard cheese form.
thank you! Now I have to search for rose water. Many historical recipes call for it and it appears to
have gone away from 1900s cooking. T’ankee, Kenned Doll.
I’ve seen “rose water”, but it’s meant as a cosmetic, rather than a food. If it said it had glycerin in it, I would not get that one.
