Pink Sweater

I've made a bunch of socks, so far, including a baby pair! Now, I'm moving on to a full blown sweater. OK, it's not a full blown sweater, it's a sweater vest cardigan. So, no sleeves and one button. I'm making it for my grandma and I started making it in a large size. Now that I've knit the back, though, it's looking a bit small. This may end up being for my cousin or my mom or something... we'll see.

Also, I've been making muffins nearly every week. It makes for a very convenient breakfast. Here are my corn-pine nut muffins with currants.


These remind me of the multi grain pancakes because I used three grains.


Ingredients:
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1 cup AP flour
1 cup stone ground cornmeal
1.5 tsp baking powder
0.5 tsp salt

2 large eggs
3/4 cups sugar
1 stick butter, melted and cooled (or consider using half canola oil instead to keep muffins moist)
3/4 cup yogurt
1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup toasted pine nuts
1/2 cup dried currants

Making muffins is so easy. Combine dry ingredients, then combine wet ingredients. Then add the mix-ins and wet ingredients to the dry, and gently fold until combined. Scoop dough into greased muffin pan (I use an ice cream scooper) and bake at 350F for 15-20 minutes.

Farmer's Market Morning

Boy oh boy do I love the farmer's market. Here's my catch this week:
Tell me that is not some beautiful looking produce. And I got a super deal on the apples! I ran out of money (because everything looked so good!) and only had $2 left. I told the lovely people at the apple booth that I would give them all I had left for their best sweet eating apples, and the woman knocked off $.25 per pound making my apples $1/lb.

I can't wait to eat all of this stuff! So good.
