Perhaps “gas mich” is a variant or a misspelling of “gred mich.” What makes this interpretation so appealing is a possible connection to the illustrations. An ugly Easter lamb and an oven would establish a link to the last sentence on 116v. As I said, this is pure speculation.
Reference for “gred mich”:

The oven:
You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
Hello, it is not a misspelling, the word is in fact "gasmich". It shows the sound shift from Middle High German ei > a (long a), Geis > Gas (Standard German Geiß, English: goat). This pronunciation remained until today in the Eastern part of Tyrol. "Mich" represents "milk". In my study, I refer to the illustrations of f116v and the connection to the last sentence.
Kind regards, Monika
