Thing a Day 27: Choco Chip Muffins

I'm reeeeeeaaaally sorry about this yucky picture...but this is what I made today!! My husband spent the first hour of the day shoveling snow while the two littles and I made these muffins. I spent my morning at a baptism service (with my preschooler daughter in tow) and we all spent our afternoon running errands and avoiding the house we've been cooped up in all week. The last hour of the day was spent clearing away all the evidence of a week spent at home...and these muffins are what ya get today. *grin*

I wish I could at least say they were tasty...but they came out tough. *sigh* Anyone have a great muffin recipe?? I do so love a good muffin.....

Here's something to make you feel better, though - I found my pictures of BBJ in her Chinese New Year get up!!  Since CNY was on a Sunday this year (and Valentine's Day!) I thought it was appropriate that she wear this pink outfit to church. (Yes, she wore pants...sorry. It's formal wear in China, even if it does look like really fancy pajamas here.....besides, she's three. It was cute!)

Thing a Day 20: Ramen that Tastes Good (and gifting the quilt!)

The baby shower was this morning, and the quilt has been gifted. Yea!

For dinner, all we had the energy to make was...ramen. But! I'm a resourceful lady, with a load of veg left over from Chinese New Year that need to meet their end...so I made some "toppings" - fried eggs, teriyaki tofu and a sort of onion/bell pepper/hot dog saute. (Hey, I've got kids to feed...and a freezer that needs to be emptied!)

Quick! Thing a Day is here!

I almost missed it this year, but...I didn't!
