rinalia

polyphonicvegan visited and I have ascertained she is a connector. She also tried convincing me I could bike 40 miles for lemonade. I remain unconvinced (however, vegan donuts DO convince me greatly). But I do want to visit and I *may* attempt a bike ride that won't completely embarrass me.

More importantly, she oohed and ahhed over Mina and Celeste. This makes her an excellent person who deserves the best in life. (And I actually do mean that).

I made vegan muffins because I felt like it.

Since I'm a fan of taking base ingredients and just going CRAZY! here's my best guess at the recipe:

Lemon Flaxseed Muffins OF DOOM
1.5 cups of flour (I did 1/2 cup spelt flour for thickness and 3/4 regular flour)
2 tsp. lemon extract
Flaxseed as egg replacer (2 tbs. flaxseed boiled for ten minutes in 1/4 cup of water)
1/4 cup of maple syrup (I should have added more, so maybe 1/3-1/2 cup)
1 cup of soy milk (or so. i also want to try it with orange juice for extra flavor, yum)
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tbs. safflower or vegetable oil (not olive)

Oil well cupcake tin. Bake at 350 F for 20-25 minutes or until knife/toothpick comes out clean.

I think I needed to add a bit more soy milk, so I'm going to play around with liquid level.

In other news, Mina is a total limp faker. She limped for effect* at home, then ceased limping when playing with Shiner, the 90lb American Bulldog. 



*or is it affect? Too lazy to look up.
