I use this all the time to make plum & dark chocolate muffins! It's adapted (not very much tbh) from this recipe. I do usually double it for two muffin trays' worth.

Prep time: 15 mins
Cook time: 20 mins
Serves: 12 muffins

Ingredients

 

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsweetened dairy-free milk alternative - I've used rice milk, oat milk, soy milk, watered down coconut yoghurt, almond milk...
  • ¼ cup oil - I use rice bran oil
  • 1 egg (if I double the recipe and the eggs are small I'll use 3 instead of 2)
  • Fruit (optional): about 1 cup of chopped stone fruit or berries
  • Chocolate (optional): about 1/2-3/4 cup of chocolate chips or bits

 

Instructions

 

  1. Preheat your oven to 200C and grease 12 muffin cups or line them with cupcake liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
  3. Mix the wet ingredients in a separate bowl or glass measuring cup, milk first, then add the oil and egg, and whisk to combine.
  4. Pour the liquid mixture into the well of the dry mixture. Gently whisk or stir the ingredients together, just until moistened. Some small lumps are okay; you do not want to overmix.
  5. Add 
  6. Divide the batter between your prepared muffin cups. They will be about ¾ full without any bulky add-ins (like fruit or chocolate chips).
  7. Bake the muffins for 20 to 24 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool for a few minutes, and then remove them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or freeze them to enjoy later.

With great disgruntlement, Hestia submitted to the invasion of her sovereign space as I cleaned and restocked the pantry, disposing in the process of many of the shredded paper bags in which she had been pleased to nest and very unfairly folding the unshredded ones into the indispensable bag of bags, out of reach of the mighty paw of kitten. I have been so ill for so long that I have been barely cooking for myself and tired of it: nothing is superabundant, but groceries were included among the errands I spent my day running. The shelves tidily contain cornmeal and jam and tinned fish and soup. [personal profile] spatch organized his ramen. When I have finished cleaning the counters, I will be able to bake something. I just heard a train whistle blowing in the night, which always makes me think of Tom Waits' "Gun Street Girl" (1985). Someday I will eat a seaweed cheese.

[personal profile] petra
One must imagine Sisyphus horny (13133 words) by Petra
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Star Wars Prequel Trilogy, Star Wars - All Media Types
Rating: Explicit
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Obi-Wan Kenobi/Anakin Skywalker, Minor or Background Relationship(s)
Characters: Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker
Additional Tags: Time Travelling Obi-Wan Kenobi, Time Loop, Canon Divergence - Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, Bad Decisions, What Would Quinlan Vos Do?, Force Bond (Star Wars), Force Sex (Star Wars), Premature Ejaculation, Misdirection, Virgin Obi-Wan Kenobi
Summary:

The twentieth time through what has got to be the worst, and longest, day anyone has ever experienced without dying irrevocably, Obi-Wan wakes up on the Negotiator, checks the chrono to be positive of the date and swears a bloody streak, then comms Anakin. He has tried this day doing what he thought best, what he thought Yoda would think best, then Shaak, then Mace, then every other Jedi he's ever respected.

He has been putting off trying what he believes Quinlan's approach would be, or at least what Quinlan would counsel Obi-Wan to do, but the time has come.

Proper photo post later. I might switch to batch processing to deal with how insanely bad Lightroom is these days. I'd think that doing more, smaller imports would be less frustrating, but somehow I deal better with the lag from hell when I deal with it less often.

Me: Has a physical paper atlas to map what streets I've walked in Portland towards my goal of walking the whole city, also focus on staircases

Also me: Has never been to Rocky Butte until today

I meant to go to Rocky Butte and also map complete it like maybe a year ago? I am finally doing it at least? I'd meant to only so the main road/climb to the top, but I wound up doing bits of random side paths. Hiked a bit more than planned. It's a cinder cone that provides views of area volcanoes.

We Have Enough Dead Friends

Come over. The doors are open,
my flat’s a mess and
so is my heart
but the doors are always open.
Come over. I will make soup,
probably from frozen but
the important thing is
we will both eat.

You don’t have to be dying,
but if you are,
or you feel like you are,
or if living’s been hard,
call me, and I will show up.
It doesn’t have to be that bad,
it doesn’t have to be bad at all,
but if it is, please call.

Do you want me to do the groceries?
Do you want me to mop the floors?
Do you need to be held;
you don’t have to be dying to be held.
If you want me to be there, I want to.

I’m on the bathroom floor again,
and breathing is hard,
and eating’s been hard, and sleeping,
the world is a laden thing
rolling around on my chest lately.
Just being alive is heavy tonight,
but we have enough dead friends.
Come over.

Okay, not literally, but the comic in this May the Fourth be with You tumblr post is absolutely killing me.

I'm saving the art because I would be so, so sad if I were to lose it, but please go let the artist know if it amuses you anything like as much as it tickles me.

Good news: it seems it's the charging cable rather than the iPad that's dead. It charged fine on a couple of Steph's cables. Much cheaper to replace a cable.

Acquired a suit and a pair of shoes that will pass muster for "decent" at a distance, for under $500. I don't really expect to need a suit for any potential interviews in Vancouver, and my suitcase was pretty full, so I ended up leaving all that in Minneapolis. If I decide I want it I can bring my suit-board-thing next time.

The Mall of America is disconcerting in its scale, and at least on a Tuesday afternoon/evening in its emptiness.

I've also determined that I'd rather be wearing linen, and an open blazer rather than a suit. I'm quite fond of this look (a 'natural' linen double-breasted blazer and trousers, over a black polo with the collar over the blazer), but that's very much a "someday" kind of thing. File it away in the wishlist.

The intervew felt fine up until the end, when I mentioned that I'm currently in Van in the process of relocating to Minneapolis, and the social temperature of the room dropped about ten degrees. It's government (unclear whether it's state, municipal, or something weird in-between) so it'll be a couple of weeks before I hear anything regardless.

A week or two ago I applied for a tech-writer job at some engineering firm. On Tuesday I got an email of "if you actually want a tech-writing job and are not trying to use this to get an engineering job, please reply with three times when a phone interview would work for you." I did so, and watched as the first of the times passed with no response. Friday I got "we're overloaded with responses, we've added more times, if your specified times have passed please tell us some new ones." This fucking economy, man. They're supposedly calling me at tennish tomorrow, "but please allow 5-10 minutes in case the prior phone screen runs over." I will not get this job and I will count it another bullet dodged.

My plane is boarding soon, so I should go navigate the ridiculously sprawling Calgary airport to get to my gate. Home to my kitten this evening. That will be good.
