Apple Muffins and Apple Pie

Ok, not gonna lie the muffins didn't come out as well as I expected...They were fine and then when I took them out the tops fell. They were thoroughly cooked and very moist but something about then was just off. It could be the fact I used some old wiccan recipe for "harvest muffins" It really didn't have too many ingredients.




As for the pie...it was my first Apple Pie with a lattice top. I didn't have any fancy cutter so the pizza cutter worked out great. I don't need all that fanciness anyway since I'm going to tear into it anyway. It turned out pretty good but I will need to look for an apple corer eventually that took way too long to cut and peel all those apples. I totally messed up the sides of the crust so just look past that- and thanks to the pie saver my crust was definitely not burned...nor were my fingers trying to put tin foil on.




Here is Minion playing with a bunch of knock off Army men! She loves to knock them down. No there aren't dolls in that box...it's full of CDs. I took that box from target when I worked there to pack stuff up to move. Don't hate.

100th POST!

Well I couldn't really think of anything spectacular for my 100th Post!

Today I finally started my New Year's Resolution! P90x! Today was day 1 and boy am I sore already...and I only did the stretching! Tomorrow will be rough- but only 89 more days right? Besides I want to start feeling better and looking healthy. Let's hope this works! If it does maybe I'll post some pictures.

Other than that my other resolutions are to cut back on cola...obviously get a job...and hopefully get some gallery representation. We shall see.

Lately...

I've been listening to this song a lot. Nina Hagen has grown up a lot since her punky 80's days...the goth look suits her well. Sure she /is/ a bit scary...I blame that on collagen lips and her hair being pulled way too tight. She can enunciate so well it's amazing. I can hear every gritty word.

For those that I sent this to before, here is an updated view of the nation from a year ago...it's not pretty.

Well Well Well...

Apparently people start deleting blogs if you don't update so I better do just that. Thanks a lot MOM! Maybe now I'll just post what people say on Facebook and I will refuse to tell you on the phone! Muwahahahaha Can you see my evil gears cranking?

Anyway Florida has been cold- but luckily it is starting to warm up- heat is off...windows are wide open! Although I'm sure I'll have to close up once the sun goes down...I'll take what I can get.

Minion is adapting quite nicely...although we really need to get her a window perch- she can only look out two of the three windows on her own. Once we get my studio unpacked I'll post some new pictures of our place. Chris suggested I get a workspace all set up and the GORM shelving at IKEA will do quite nicely- durable, super cheap, and very customizable. You can't go wrong!
