Feeding my Frenzy!

A Fool and His money is soon parted, my father would say to me.  Except, this morning it wasn't money it was 2 eggs in a carton of 18 with a dozen in the other carton that was burning a hole in my pocket.  I must do something.  I wanted the muffins that Enoch brought in that were nicely wrapped and in a big box, but I haven't got them anymore.  They were eaten and to pay me back for having eaten his muffins, he ate my wonderful bran and pumpkin seed cereal, which was a gift for teacher appreciation week.  I have 1/2 a bag of pumpkin seed cereal and two eggs and some clabba milk and what else.  about 2 cups of flour in a bag with a whole untouched bag of flour to boot.

I must tell you it was an AHAA moment!  I pulled out my Better Homes and Gardens cookbook.  This was not a task for Rhee Drummond, this was a day of improvisation with bits of this and bits of that in it.  Muffins?  What kind of muffins?  I haven't a whole cup of anything in particular.  If they don't eat them, I will wrap them in a box and eat one at a time, as though En had bought them from the store.  Anyway, they always tear into the whole batch before I can get a taste.

I found a recipe for Bran Cereal Muffins.  I was certain that I had about a third of a bag of Allbran left from my banana bread recipe, two weeks ago.  So I began my morning search for the ingredients.

1 cup of boiling water was the easiest to find, because I always boil water when I am washing the dishes
3 cups of whole bran cereal(not flakes)
I was sure that I had that, but En had eaten the bag down to one cup.  Uhoh!
I have already begun the process and there isn't any Allbran, and there isn't but 1 cup of that designer bran cereal that I got from teacher appreciation week.
I put the Wheat germ and the bran cereal together with the boiling water and hoped for the best!

I nearly cussed when I had to search high and low for the cinnamon in the cabinet.  I said, Emily would never have let the cabinets get this discombobulated.  Thank you for all you do!

Well, anyway, the whole house is smelling of a delicious sort of unusual combination!  I know you don't eat eggs or dairy, but you would be proud of me clearing the fridge of half of the items that we use, to make what is hopefully my greatest muffin creation.  I threw in the chocolate half of the smores that were in the freezer,  just in case the last of the sugar wasn't enough to sweeten the brew.


MMMM it smells good and it looks okay, we will see, what becomes of us, when we devour them...
