Peanut Butter Toast with Apricot Preserves
Tag: food
Lunch
I’ve always hated lima beans. My mom loves them, though, especially mixed with green beans. When I was on vacation, she made them that way, and they were really good. Baby ones, which were not mealy, like ones I’d had in the past. They were soft and creamy and very tasty. I’ve been eating them ever since. My favorite way to have them is mixed with green beans, then piled on top of savory rice. (The rice was cooked with green onions, garlic, soy sauce, worcestershire sauce, and San-J Szechuan sauce.)
Tomatoes
They aren’t in season, and they’re store bought, but they still taste like summer.
Baking
Cheddar cheese muffins, chocolate chip cookies, and, lurking behind the cookies, banana bread. It got snowy and cold, so I’ve been on a baking binge.
Chocolate Chip Cookies
Mini chocolate chips = SHEER JEENYOUS! Why didn’t I think of using them before?
Cheddar-Onion Corn Muffins
Cheddar-Onion Corn Muffins
1 cup flour
1 cup cornmeal
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
2 large eggs (beaten)
1 1/4 cup buttermilk
4 tbls. butter (melted)
1 1/4 cup green onions (sliced thinly)
1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
Mix the dry ingredients in one bowl and the wet in another. Add the wet to the dry, mix, then add the onions and cheese, mix. Line a muffin tin with cupcake papers and spoon the mix into the papers. Bake at 375F for about 25 minutes
They’re just as good the second day, either plain or cut in half, warmed in the toaster oven, and lightly buttered.
Conjoined Twins
The best part is that all those orange candies poured out first, together. Happy Halloween!
Peanut Butter Contains Peanut
I don’t know whether to be skeptical that it contains just the one peanut, or amused that such a warning would be deemed necessary in the first place. I mean, what on earth would peanut butter be made of, if not peanut(s)?
Eggs
I’ve got a giant jar of pickle juice sitting in the fridge, which means it’s time to make pickled eggs. (You can’t really tell unless you look at the bottom rim of the pan, but the eggs are under water, cooling off. That’s why there are some strange shadows and reflections.)
Two Pickles, No Waiting
These may have been the ittiest, bittiest, cutest pickles I’ve ever seen. Tasty, too!
