I Made Muffins

February 26, 2009

p10108841I had a couple of very ripe bananas that I wasn’t going to eat so I got out two more from the freezer.   There were some cashews whose age I did not know and I had about four bags of bittersweet chocolate.  I was trying for a dozen, but I think the chocolate chips took up too much room.  This is definitely the best recipe I have come with so I will write it up and put it on a page. 

I was loading some upgrades to my embroidery software to my laptop, but they took a long time and playing with food seemed like a good idea.  Besides, Frank was here all day installing the molding and I didn’t have a decent place to sit and knit. 

Ip1010880 am about to decrease for the toe which I hope to finish tonight.  Then, I can start the second.  Here’s yesterday’s progress.  This isn’t yesterday’s.  This is two days ago.  I thought I had taken a picture, but I couldn’t find it.  Even though I don’t have big feet, I had to add about an inch.  I made a design similar to the ankle trim.

Noro Socks

May 26, 2008

noro socksThey are finished.  I washed them this afternoon and laid them out to dry on the stove.  Then I made banana nut muffins.  Doesn’t everybody make muffins for supper?  Theywere perfect, but the socks are still not dry.  I am happy with this picture.  Maybe, I’ll take another tomorrow.

I got out another hank of yarn to make another pair of socks.  This one is baby Merino and is unbelievably soft.  If I don’t spend too much time in Dover tomorrow, I may be able to start them.  I hoping to get the yarn wound tonight.  I don’t know.  It’s so late all ready and I didn’t sleep well last night.  Doug kept waking me up with his infernal snoring.

 

maude & zip

I was hoping to sew today, but Maude and Zip had other ideas.  Under Zip are nine neat little stacks of quilt squares to be sewn. 

Step #5 of the mystery was put out last night.  I wasn’t happy with the way it was set up.  One page had nothing to do with the quilt and there was a recipe at the end of it that I knew I would never make.  Since I was not allowed to cut and paste, I told my printer which pages to print and had to hand write a few lines.  One page only had three lines on it and still had half a recipe that I didn’t want.  I do like to bake, but this recipe was gross. 

Strawberry Banana Muffins

April 27, 2008

I had this banana that was a lot more ripe than I would even consider eating and some strawberries that I was getting really sick of. Et Viola! Strawberry Banana Muffins. And they are really good, too.

I actually worked on my blog a little today. It’s rainy. At least it isn’t snow! Doug has been painting and I have been ignoring him. I think I am going to have to paint around the windows, but I woke up with my knees aching so I have been trying to maintain a low profile.

The cats are not happy about the rain. They have been going in and out all day.

I took this through the window that I am probably going to have to paint around. Later, she decided to help with the painting.
