I love you rain.

Its raining today. Something new that happens here in Seattle.
Well, today is my practical. UGH i freak out right before each test. EVEN if i have studied for it, i freak out. I have no idea why. Its like the feeling right before you go on stage you hypervenalate... then when your actually on stage and doing your thing... its no big deal. You know what im talking about?!
Anyway.
My practical is muffins and cream puffs with the pastry cream.

The reasoning they look like little spaceships is because i didn't fill the muffin tin all the way.
Did you know muffin, loaf bread, and pancake batters should be mixed as little as possible only until the dry ingredients are moistened.
Over mixing muffin batter produces not only toughness but irregular shapes, and large holes inside the muffins. Sowaaa... ya. Sammy loved my muffins!!!

Hahaha, that's his little tiny bite.
OH and when you portion batter into muffin tins, be careful not to stir the mix, because you will toughen it. Scoop the batter from the outside edge of the bowl, use a portion scoop that works best. :) (aka ice cream scooper :))
Oh look, who i found!  Baby Rambo.

HE is just the cutest little guy EVER.
Marinka got a bread maker! She has been baking up a bread storm! A new and different kind of loaf every day!
MMM mmmm good!

Ok! i am going to study a bit more so i don't pass out before the test.
