Tuesday we made some banana muffins. It's a recipe from my friend Holly, I'll post it at the end. Parker tried them and loved them, and wanted to make some, so that was our task after a run w/ the jogger. At about mile 2 Parker decided muffing making sounded fun, so we chatted about it the rest of the way, and went right to it after we got in, which is why I'm in running gear. I bought a tripod the other day so I can get more pictures of her and I doing stuff. To look at her photo album you'd think she had a single parent household because I'm always the photographer and it's her and Bob in the pictures.
Dumping in brown sugar...
Slicing bananas w/ butter knife
tasting fresh squeezed orange juice. Mmmmmmm.
I let her smell all the spices when I put them in, vanilla, cinammon, and nutmeg. She had a little brown smudge on her nose at the end that I left there because it was cute.
Finished product. Heart shaped, of course.

how can she jog 2 miles in a dress, and still have a 'do?
SO i was determined to overcome my horrible past with cooking, and decided to try this recipe. i got all the stuff, and mixed it together, and noticed it looked a little goopy, but didnt think anything of it. after they had been cooking about 2 min, i realized i had forgotten to add the flour. so i pulled them out of the oven, dumped the stuff back in the bowl and added flour, then finished cooking them. they are BAD tasting..just very interesting and grainy
* i meant they AREN'T bad tasting
