Since I shared a picture of smiling George in my last post, I wanted to do the same for Poppy. I took this picture yesterday afternoon, and it's as close to a smile as I could get. She hates it when I point my phone camera at her and won't cooperate! Trust me, though...she had a big grin on her face both before and after I snapped this.
Last night I decided that today I would spend the afternoon in the kitchen, baking up treats for the week. I had to go to the grocery store for a few items I was lacking. I decided to make banana bread (to use up the three overripe bananas in the fruit bowl), buttermilk blueberry muffins (blueberries were on sale and looking good), and a first attempt at healthy homemade granola.
The banana bread and blueberry muffins were first. They look like they've turned out really well. I'll report back after we taste them.
I burned the granola. Two big batches of granola, at that.
It's too scorched to be useable, even after getting rid of the worst parts around the edges.
A close up of the baked goodness...
I made the granola last. Some of the ingredients I chose for my mix were kind of pricey: coconut oil, pecans, walnuts. Then I made the fatal mistake of sitting out on the back porch to cool off for a few minutes while it baked.
And as you've probably guessed...
Oh well. I guess two out of three isn't bad!
