I woke up tired but ready. Well, pretty ready, guess I forgot to switch off my alarm, I just hit the snooze, so Fred had to respond to mine as well as his. Guess that is his fault for still being in bed. Well, the boys actually got up pretty easily this morning. The motivating factor was that the cool temperatures, only 54 degree today, allowed them to wear some new jeans and new long sleeve shirts that they have been waiting to wear since we bought them in July! Love that!
We went to the big city yesterday. The boys all got haircuts in Ames then we headed down to Ankeney to Super Target and Michael's and had lunch at Panera. YUM! We also got cheap gas at $2.69/gal. The local stations wants $2.94 so it was quite a bargain. The late lunch made for nibbles for dinner. Easy enough. I also made some Pumpkin Muffins that we all love. They are SOOOOO easy, want the recipe? Got a pen? You don't even need one!
Take a box of yellow cake mix, mix it with a small can of pumpkin and 1tsp of all spice. It will be VERY thick! Use cupcake liners in a regular sized cupcake pan. It makes 12 muffins. Bake for 20 mins in 375 oven. They should be just golden. Not hard at all. Even I can get them right most of the time.Even when I forget the spice they turn out just fine. They remind me of fall. Great for breakfast, snack or dessert. I have heard that you can substitute a chocolate cake mix but I haven't tried that, yet...
OK, off to make dinner and get ready for a CCW meeting. It is the Council of Catholic Women meeting at church. They only meet once a month on Mondays and that is Cub Scout night so I don't get to go too often. It is a nice group that does lots for our parish so I like to attend when I can. Good evening to you!
