wow. it's been a while

i used to ride my bike everyday and then one day i broke my foot. then i got married yada yada. then i just stopped riding my bike. i rode it to work today and it was hard and i was really slow and got really sweaty. 

that is like this blog. i lost the internet. then got busy. you get the idea. 

anyway. i'm back and i'm already getting sweaty so it's going to be great. 

first up: banana cranberry apple cider muffins

1.5 c sugar

.5 c butter

2 eggs

1 tsp. baking soda

3 tbs water

3 c flour

1 tsp. baking powder

.5 tsp salt

1 1/3 c. apple cider

3 ripe bananas - ripe means brown and mushy, folks

dried cranberries, 2 small handfulls?

cream butter and sugar, add eggs, one at a time. add soda, water. mix together dry ingredients. add flour mix and cider alternately. add bananas and cranberries. drop into a muffin tin and bake them til they're done at 375. 

this is a perfect time to mention that raul got me a present. so we registered for that stand up mixer of my dreams. sadly, we didn't get it. but! macy's is really cool about your registry and they give you a hella discount on the stuff you didn't get. plus, get this, they were having a sale. so raul comes home really sweaty and out of breath and i didn't get it and he didn't explain. i didn't for one second think that he ran home, though, never. anyway. he carried the mixer all the way from downtown. ah! anyway. here's a picture of the beauty. 

i made those muffins with that sweet ass mixer. ugh. i'm too excited. oh and those cool decals are of montreal, from ellyn. great wedding present! 

more to come! 

love,
