Domestic Adventures
May. 12th, 2010 12:22 pmI spent all day yesterday with Steph sewing up a storm. While I cut, gathered, and sewed a tier onto a full-length skirt, she was a shirt-making machine. The end result was three and a half shirts and one big skirt yesterday. I will finish the fourth shirt today and sew trim on the necklines of the tabards I made the other day. And, if I'm feeling up to it, I'll start making a fifth shirt.
While I'm getting up the gumption to do more sewing, I made muffins from this 1951 recipe. In case you can't read the tiny print, here it is:
Blueberry Muffins
1 3/4 cup flour
3 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3 Tbsp sugar
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 cup milk
1 cup blueberries rolled in flour
Sift dry ingredients together in one bowl.
Blend mayonnaise and milk in another bowl.
Stir dry ingredients into wet ingredients.
Fold in berries.
Fill greased muffin tin 2/3 full.
Bake at 400 for 15-20 minutes
Yields one dozen.
I changed the recipe up a bit. I used whole wheat flour, low-fat mayonnaise, and cranberries instead of blueberries. I didn't roll the berries in flour.
Here is the result:

The verdict is they are very moist and have an excellent consistency. However, the flavour is rather bland. I would use this recipe as a base again, but would add spices to give the flavour some much-needed oomph. I would also add more fruit.
Link time? Ok.

Crab Revenge: "Well, quality revenge is hard to come by these days but we have a method that is so insulting and disgusting that you should never wish it on anyone never mind actually go and do it and we dont encourage you to. All we do encourage you to do is give us money and we will send you a package in the mail with tiny, purple dots in it… those are crabs, and they need only be sprinkled on the bedding or clothing of the one you once loved the most to ensure he/she sufferers the fullest wrath of those genital lice."
