Hey hey y’all! The astrological and energetic new year is here! For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, the air is alive with new beginnings. And for folks in the Southern Hemisphere, the energy may be shifting towards setting the stage for recuperation + hibernation.
I thought I was going to post my tested and refined cinnamon roll recipe that I’ve been honing and altering since this past summer. That’s no longer going to happen this week for a few reasons:
-
First and foremost, I wanted to make these cinnamon rolls one more time in a new environment, with a different oven and different brands of the ingredients than the ones I had access to before. This would test the recipe to make sure it will still yield the same quality and yummy-ness despite some variances.
-
Second, I’m back in the US, and while it has been beautiful to see some loved ones and somewhat grounding to walk in a familiar place and heart-easing to be around so many more Black people. Being within the epicenter of empire while it’s gripping for its life to sustain power is DRAINING. Having already witnessed My spirit no longer (and probably never did) sits right here, and the my new baseline consists of bigger pinches of depression, anxiety, and overwhelm.

Third, Comradery has not been easy on folks :( a few of y'all have reached out letting me know you've tried to support + become paid members, but various obstacles on the platform have prevented that. This led me to think of ways to pivot. I am continually trying to divest from big companies and platforms, and invest is in platforms made with values even as they are still working through the kinks. I'm going to keep posting on here AND I will doing a slightly more analog shift, so people can support my work and see all the posts (keep reading)!
I can't post without talking a lil it about food, so I will share some yummy foods + drinks I’ve been enjoying to soothe my soul a bit, because in this house emotional eating is completely okay!! If that’s not your vibe, you can go ahead and excuse yourself.
-
Mint Tea! the herbal journal did it’s magic in reminding me of the power of mint!
-
A pita sandwich with homemade za’atar cucumber yogurt spread, spicy sausage, and feta
-
Doughnuts! specifically an apple fritter and strawberry glazed with fruity pebbles
-
Stewed apples or pears with oatmeal
-
Cardamom + rose (matcha) oat milk lattes
-
Bagels sandwiches with cream cheese, eggs, and spicy sausage
-
Green curry soup with rice cakes
-
Brown butter chocolate chip cookies
Okay back to the pivot! I came up with a way to navigate the problems folks have been having trouble with joining as paid members on this platform, and at the end of the day, I also asked myself does stripe (the payment processor that most platforms use) need your money??? I don’t think so! If you want to support me and receive all my posts, you can email me at [email protected] and send me funds directly through Venmo, CashApp, Zelle, and/or PayPal, and I will grant you access to my posts via a shared Proton Drive folder.
You might be asking me in your head, "Erica, why not just move folks to a paid tier list?" Well, (un)fortunately Comradery respects folks' privacy, and I do not have access to the list of people who are signed up for free, and I cannot manually add/transfer folks from one tier to another or allow specific people to see supporter-only posts in any case.
Please email me at [email protected] if you would like to get access to all my posts and join me on this continued journey of Cooking Fulla Joy!
stay safe out there my friends ♡
