Cranberry-apple orange walnut flax muffins

Baked a dozen muffins this morning before it got too hot.  Last night we had pasta primavera and organic watermelon slices. 

New recipe

Made a fresh peach puff pancake for brunch yesterday.  I melted a tablespoon of butter in a cast iron pan in the oven at 400 degrees, then sliced a fresh piece thinly and evenly  in the bottom of the pan and sprinkled with with brown sugar.  I made a batter of 3 eggs, a half a cup of milk, a pinch of salt and a half cup of flour whisked together and poured this over the peaches, and baked the whole for 25 minutes.  Yummy!

The black-eyed susans are blooming all over the town

3 c's and a q

Spent yesterday, cooking-an organic veggie quiche, cleaning-dusting mopping, vacuuming and straightening.  Also corresponding for various matters and quilting, the 150th anniversary Civil War quilt, appliqued stems.  Today I construct flowers and hopefully applique them to the blocks.

Off on a tiny adventure

Had a lovely lunch at J's cafe in Westminster yesterday, my first trip in quite awhile.  I have been staying close to home, this was a trial run.  Wore us out but back okay.
Now I need to get back to work.

After the 4th

The weather man says we are heading into the dog days, 80 at 8 this morning and a heat wave predicted for the week.  Did not get any quilting done yesterday, should have worked on some embroidery that would have been cooler.  Need to take a photo of 54-40 or fight quilt, maybe today.
