An accomplishment: I sat outside with a cup of coffee for a couple minutes and read 13 quiet pages in my new book (24-Karat Kids) prior to any children putting forth a plea for thirds on breakfast, erupting into a fight, or messing with my laptop in my absence.

More eggs and toast, coming up!

Feeling Like Mama Earth

Even though I’m sick, I had the urge to cook. Or maybe because I’m sick because I don’t often feel the urge to cook otherwise. Anyway, today I made

Cinnamon rolls

and

blueberry muffins.

Something weird happened to my cinnamon rolls. It was my first attempt and it went badly. I baked them too long and also, I couldn’t figure out how to roll them very well. I should have pulled the dough apart and made smaller rolls, then I could have just used the roll as is instead of having to roll the roll up (see? It doesn’t even write well). Ah well, the kids love them so it’s cool. Also, I can never get my muffins to look right. This is my goal.

But what you see that I’ve made is what I always get. I mean, they still taste good and all but it just isn’t the same. Maybe I don’t fill the tins enough? Food Blogga has some theories on getting fluffy muffins. I’ll try a few next time.
