| A Baker's Dozen of Banana/Blueberry/Cashews Muffins (in dark blue paper muffin liners) |
The day started out cloudy and rather grey; the rain started in the afternoon. A light rain, but, the garden is getting watered!
On Sunday, I checked my freezer. organized it a little (the bottom bin and two of the five shelves), and updated the inventory. Then, I took out a package of beef smore/curry, a package of moringa curry, a package containing two cooked mild Italian sausages, and a package of frozen blueberries for this week's meals.
I had one banana that was getting a bit too ripe for my liking, so I made a batch of banana muffins with blueberries and cashews. They will be good for breakfasts and snacks (and to share with M when he's here on Wednesday). The beef curry and moringa curry will be good with rice for dinners and the sausages can be made into something to eat with pasta or with mashed potatoes.
Today, Monday, I went to the pharmacy to pick up a refill of Dancer's thyroid medication. I asked myself if I wanted to get a doughnut from the store, next door, but, decided I didn't because I had muffins at home. So, no doughnuts this time around!
After I came home, I had brunch (a slice of toast with the last of the tuna salad I had made over the weekend and two of my muffins), took the trash cans out to the curb, read and commented on a few blogs, cleaned Dancer's litter box, etc., and watched the news.
I also accepted the delivery of this box:

| New Yarn! |
I had made a few granny squares with some pink yarn leftover from a baby blanket I had crocheted, earlier; my daughter liked the colors and asked for a pink granny squares blanket for herself. So, we ordered some yarn, on sale for $3.49 per 7 oz. skein) which was delivered, today! Guess what I'll be doing in the coming days and weeks!

| Monday Night's Dinner |
I thought that was a picture of some brightly iced cupcakes, till I realised it was wool!
ReplyDeleteNow that you mentioned it, they do look a bit like iced cupcakes, don't they? :D
DeleteOh your muffins look so good, I wish I could sample that odd one the thirteenth :-) Lovely colours of yarn, that will be a beautiful blanket for your daughter and it will be nice to see it's progress as you crochet it.
ReplyDeleteDid you sort the tyre pressure sensor on your car? My warning light is still on but the tyres are fine.
Thank you, Eileen; I'm sending you a muffin, virtually! :D I'm looking forward to making the pink blanket!
DeleteThe tire pressure light has not come on, again, after the tires were inflated. So, I'm assuming that all is fine. I'm glad that your tires are fine, too, even if the warning light is still on. :)
Those muffins look so good. You have a lot of crocheting in your future if you are going to use all of that yarn. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, June. I'm looking forward to getting started on the blanket (I'm currently working on another blanket with yarn that is in my daughter's stash!)
DeleteWith all the beautiful things in your garden, the rain will be welcome.
ReplyDeleteI want to see a picture once you get your daughter's blanket made. The colors are beautiful.
The garden is thriving with all the rain!
DeleteYes, I will post a picture of the blanket. I'm looking forward to crocheting with all those pretty colors! :)
You made muffins with your ripe bananas, I took one look at mine and consigned them to the freezer! Well, I did make some squares yesterday so any banana baking can wait. Those yarn colours are lovely and will make for a very pretty blanket.
ReplyDeleteI was tempted to put the banana in the freezer, but, I already have some frozen bananas. My problem is, I tend to stick things in the freezer and they tend to stay there! LOL. Maybe you can make banana muffins once your squares are over. Thank you; I hope the blanket will turn out well. :)
DeleteThe muffins look delicious! Love the bright coloured yarn. I bet your daughter will love the blanket
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sharon. I'm enjoying the muffins and am looking forward to crocheting with the new yarn. :)
DeleteThe muffins look delicious. I forgot to let you know that I did bake some after I saw your earlier ones, but all my blueberries sank to the bottom. They still tasted great, at least :)
ReplyDeleteThe yarn is gorgeous. The colours remind me of the peach blossom. Xx
Thank you, Jules. Glad you baked some muffins, too. Sorry about the blueberries sinking! But, I'm sure they tasted delicious. I've read that coating the berries in a little flour helps to keep them from sinking. The pink yarns do have the colors of peach or cherry blossoms, don't they?
DeleteThe muffins look delicious! And like Ang, I thought you were showing us pink cup cakes too!! Love FD xx
ReplyDeleteThe muffins received my gardener friend M's seal of approval, yesterday, when I gave him some. And now, I think I really need to make some pink cup cakes! :D
DeleteOh gosh, I almost missed seeing the new pink yarn post!
ReplyDeleteHow pretty :). I do like me some pink yarn lol
Those colors will make a wonderful blanket for your daughter.
That's a good price on the yarn. What yarn is it?
Your meals sound good for the week (of course it's now been so long ago I'm sure you can't even remember lol)
It's going to be a very pink blanket! It's Red Heart Super Saver yarn from JoAnn Fabrics. We ordered it online and had it shipped (I think there was a $2.00 shipping fee).
DeleteThe meal plan worked well for brunches, but, the dinners sort of fell by the wayside! :D
