muffins!
I tried another bran muffin recipe this past weekend, and they turned out pretty delicious. I got the recipe from Dylan’s mom Irene – she sent some home with him after Thanksgiving, and I think I ate about 4 a day until they were gone!
The (modified) recipe was originally from this great blog, Farmgirl Fare. It’s by this woman who one day packed up her California lifestyle and moved out to a remote, 280-acre farm in the middle of Nowhere, Missouri. I think I can relate to packing everything up and embarking on a new adventure! I also like the name of her blog, because it reminds me of The Princess Bride (Farmboy) although I doubt this has any relation to her blog at all. Anyways, there are a ton of healthy recipes, pictures of her farm animals, and a smattering of gardening tips and photos. I think this weekend I might try a batch of these blueberry breakfast bars, but with persimmons instead, since they’re weighing down the trees in the front yard.

I’m really amazed that you are trying to tackle something as weird as marshmallows. I didn’t even know what marshmallows were made out of until now. Can you imagine the person who invented it? Probably alot of trial and error…………….well, after a little research… turns out, as I’m sure you knew, original Marshmallows come from the mucilaginous root of the Althaea officinalis plant. I’m pretty sure mucilaginous means a sticky consistency, high viscosity. The root of the plant was used for sore throats and other parts of the plant were used for all kinds of medicines. That is, until they figured out that sugar is the best medicine. Thus, the confectioners delight was invented. And thats exactly what I would say to the Aliens.
