It's here!

Rachel A. Rosen & Zilla Novikov's collation of camaraderie and compassion, The Sad Bastard Cookbook has arrived!



Night Beats easter eggs and all:



What is The Sad Bastard Cookbook: Food You Can Make So You Don't Die?

This cookbook is all the recipes you already make, when you've worked a 16-hour day, when you can't stop crying and you don't know why, when the eldritch abomination you work at the bottom of the ocean won't go back to sleep. (7)
 

I'm so pleased with it. Random highlight, from the recipe "Chips":

Rachel has a bowl shaped like a skull and feels less depressed when she can eat chips out of that, pretending she's eating from the skull of an enemy. (94)

And from an annotation in "Apple Slices Yes":

Some people say that spreading the peanut butter on each slice is a waste of effort, when you could put a dollop of peanut butter on a plate and dip the slices in. Others respond that dipping in solid peanut butter works about as well as dipping apple slices in solid cement" (89).

All my favorite recipes are here -- for example, "Crackers."

Now I must decide who should get the second copy.
