Baking up a Frenzy: Today I made both chocolate chip cookies and vegan lemon poppy seed muffins (one of my students is a vegan and I don't want her not to have something to eat during our finals prep party on Tuesday. The cookies came out cute and tasty (as usual). No need to post a recipe since it is just the one off of the toll house morsels bag. But the vegan lemon poppy seed muffins deserve a recipe post (though I haven't tried one yet, so I don't know what they taste like).Vegan Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins
1 3/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4 cup organic sugar (I used Florida Crystals brand)
1 tbsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
3/4 cup soy milk
6 oz soy yogurt (I used vanilla but you could also use lemon)
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp grated lemon zest
1 tbsp poppy seeds
Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl and set aside. Combine the wet ingredients in small bowl and combine. Mix the wet and the dry together, adding the poppy seeds about 1/2 way through the mixing process. Don't over mix, combine just until moist. Pour batter into prepared pans (or cups) and bake for 20 - 25 minutes at 400 degrees.
Though I haven't eaten one yet they definitely smelled nice and the batter tasted nice. I'll tr one tomorrow and post what they taste like.
Hair Raising: I decided to twist my hair up, partly out of boredom and partly because of the temperature drop (I can't get a hat on my hair in its natural state). Even I didn't realize how much it has grown in just the last month. I tend to twist it up at least once a month just for a change, but it has gotten almost as long as it was before I had it cut off in Paris. And yes, it is getting hard to twist up (takes longer). But I realized how much I missed this look. Twists are me...not the straight hair...not the natural fro...twists. Others don't seem to like it but I'm at the point where I can say I don't give a shit what they like. It's my hair not there's.
