lady_t_220Today, I made banana and peanut butter almost-muffins.
I say almost-muffins because I don't have any muffin cases at the moment so they wound up cupcake sized, which is too big to be a mini-muffin but too small to be a proper muffin so they're muffin-ish cupcakes instead.
Issues of spacial pedentry aside, it's based, more or less, on this base idea, but as I had a whole load of peanut butter and no peanut butter chips, I just globbed a bunch of stuff out the jar in with the mashed bananas and smooshed it until it mixed through.
Came out pretty good.
I've never actually made muffins before. They're a lot easier than cake.
This is worth knowing.
Although I might do it with less-chunky peanut butter next time.
I also melted too much butter in the process so I made it into lime and coriander butter for making seasoned potato wedges tonight.
I am currently FORCING my mother to SIT THE FUCK DOWN and rest. Because she's crap at being ill. She was complaining that the anti-virals make her sleepy, but the steriods are giving her insomnia, so instead of acting like a normal human being and either taking a nap or having a bit of a sit down with the telly on or something, she's cleaned the kitchen from top to bottom, dug half a dozen wheelbarrow loads of topsoil and complained every 26 seconds that she can't do marking because her eye keeps twitching.
*headdesks*
Then moans because she gets up in the morning feeling a bit better, but by the afternoon her face is numbing up again. I did point out that YOU HAVE A REFLUX OF SHINGLES IN YOUR FACE, YOU IDIOT, so of course any improvement was going to be tempered again if she keeps wearing herself out, but she is, honestly, the worst patient in the world.
I actively had to make her go and sit down, and stunningly enough within about 5 minutes she was asleep. Like she should have been at 3 o'clock this morning, rather than contemplating spring cleaning the kitchen in a bout of steroid-induced psychosis.

Date: 2010-06-18 04:37 pm (UTC)I would never just have stuff show up on your doorstep unannounced, though. "Oh! BTW, since they're alredy there, mind sending them on?" :P SO not gonna do that. Besides, Kat may have something headed this way anyway, so I'd make her do it. ;)
But I can still get you PB chips if you want to try them.
