DIYing stuff for MOTHH purposes + green sauce recipe! (Patreon)

HI EVERYONE! Besides what I mentioned in the title, which I'll talk about in a sec, I also made a delicious Mexican green sauce and burritos today and I'm so proud of them, especially the green sauce. It was so rewarding (especially considering that I lose energy quickly when cooking). I'll give you the sauce recipe at the bottom of this post! I want to get into what I was going to talk about in the first place.

Anyway, tracking for The Grand Scream is complete! I've had some ideas for visuals for MOTHH for a while now, and I'm just starting to bring them into reality. I'm working on a look specifically to promote the first release. I have to hop over to ebay as well for another component I'll need. I'm also in the process of brainstorming a look for the 2nd release and developing ways to promote it. The hardest thing has been trying to tie all of these vastly different songs together visually! I think the overarching visual theme is very apparent to me but I want to make sure it's clear to others as well, especially those who are new to my music.

In other news, I feel something akin to slight, fleeting terror because my monthly listeners have jumped by 5,000 in just the past few weeks. Not actually terrified, but it feels a little surreal. My energy this past summer was scarce and precious as you may have read in previous posts, so it feels crazy to see things happening for my career almost entirely of someone else's volition (the person who made a fan video for Champagne which was very well-viewed!!). I am SO grateful but also in awe, I think!

I have to tap into my inner confidence as I film and take photos to promote The Grand Scream. It's time to rise from the ashes of the summer and birth this album!!

Anyway!! Here's the green sauce recipe if you want to try it!! Tastes great on tacos, burritos, nachos, and chips. You'll need a food processor and/or blender (read through the recipe and I'll explain). If you don't like cilantro or onions you can omit them. <3

I used this base recipe and added the cilantro and onions to more closely mimic the green sauce from a local taco place, and changed the amount of salt from 1tbs to 1/2 tbs for my personal preference.

Ingredients:
- 1lb tomatillos
- 3-4 serrano peppers
- 1/2 tbs salt
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 2-3 stalks of green onions (chop the roots off)
- 1 bunch of cilantro

1. Unwrap the tomatillos and remove the stems from the tomatillos and serranos.
2. Put tomatillos and serranos in a medium-sized pot with a cup or a cup and a half of water. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 25-30 minutes.
3. Drain, then put them into a food processor with all other ingredients. (you may want to add less or more salt depending on your preference).
(note: If you have a ninja blender or nutri-bullet type of smoothie blender, you can transfer ingredients from the food processor to the blender for a finer mixture.)
4. Enjoy! Store in an air-tight container in the fridge. You'll find it tastes just as good cooled off/cold from the fridge!

If you've made it this far, thanks for reading!! I'll be back with another post on Thursday, as usual.
