New recipe

I came home from work today and decided to make some chocolate chocolate chip muffins. I had some mini chips in the fridge I wanted to use. I got the recipe off of some website, I don't know I just googled what I wanted! The recipe is from Nigela Lawson. Of course, I picked hers because of her last name! Here it is:

1 3/4 cups flour

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

2 tablespoons cocoa powder

3/4 cups superfine sugar

3/4 cup chocolate chips plus another 1/4 cup to sprinkle on top

1 cup milk

1/3 cup plus 2 tsp vegetable oil

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla

Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes

They're pretty tasty, if I do say so myself. They're also good (if you like coffee) to add a couple of teaspoons of cappucino powder to it.

I'm excited that tomorrow I paid for my Etsy shop to be featured on the jewelry site, under necklaces. Hopefully it will generate some business!

My cat, Dobie is trying so hard to help me type, I'd better give him some attention...

Valentine's Day

Well, I've worked all day and came home to work more. Last night I made Cherry Chip cupcakes and took to work. Partly because it was Valentine's day and partly from thinking of my brother, Ken, as it was his favorite cake. I added a couple more items to my Etsy store and updated some stuff on the website. I finally finished a knitted and beaded purse I was working on. I'm fading fast, so to bed. Watching Olympics, some great couples figures skating tonight.

More listings...

Well, I got a few more items listed on Etsy, as well as finally finding an open day to feature the store. Then I took a peek at Facebook and found a new posting from Dollybelle's peepshow, a blog I was introduced to by Nancy at Guilding the Lily. What a fun blog! Check it out on my blog links. I can only dream of being able to figure out how to have such a blog! Someday before I die, I hope!

It seems just getting pictures taken and posted takes so much time. I've had Turner Classic Movies on all evening while working. I love old movies and this month is their 'Oscar's' month of movies. I caught the tail end of 'The Way We Were', saw 'Funny Girl', 'Lawrence of Arabia' is on right now. 'Becket' is on next but I'm pretty certain it will be watching me instead of me watching it!
