Pulling hair up, Tying apron on
Being snowed (and iced!) into the house this evening gave me plenty of time to:
A. Read "Women's Experience as a Radical Critique of Sociology"
B. Bake up some delicious cheap 'n' easy bread that has been rising since yesterday
C. Add another batch to The Great Muffin Experiment 2009
The house smells GREAT and I have all the bread and muffins P and I can eat for the whole week!
So, here's a healthy thrifty tip, friends-- stop buying bread! It's delightfully easy and affordable to make, it's a good life skill to have in uncertain times, and it's a wonderfully meditative art! Here's the recipe I've been digging: Mmmm fresh bread. Bread making becomes even more affordable when you buy your flour in 25 lb. bags-- which is sort of fun in and of itself.
This week's muffins:
1 cup whole wheat, spelt, or other flour (sifted)
1/4 cup all purpose flour
3/4 cut oat bran
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup poppy seeds
3/4 cup almond milk
2 egg substitutes
1/4 cup olive oil
5 Tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoon lemon zest
Mix dry then wet and bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Stuff face.
Igloo building workshops at my place tomorrow!
