“Sheila DeStefano Bakes Home-grown Blackberry Muffins for Breakfast”

Those who know me well, are aware that my idea of cooking is popping a TV dinner in the microwave, so this was a HUGE event. 

Over the weekend, we discovered an overgrown blackberry bush in the yard.  Since our landlord fired the gardener, our backyard has been in disarray so we haven’t spent much time back there.  What a surprise! There were tons of blackberries that had died from the heat, so I picked the ripe berries and found them to be very sweet. 

A quick search on www.cooks.com and 45 minutes later, breakfast for the week!

 

(and YES, the muffins did taste good, ask Pete!)

This and that

The good news is my Monday is flying by adequately quickly.  But it is never a good sign when you get a sales lead from an email address that includes, ”runaway_granny”.  Life in sales. 

I would classify this past weekend as a perfectly satisfying weekend with all the elements:  dinner & great conversation w/ friends, time with family (mom’s bd), activity (biking with Jax & Mark) and time with the hubby (watching the movie 21).

I think my newly adopted “clean living” lifestyle has helped me mentally as well as (hopefully) physically.   I will say, my mind seems clearer lately.  I’m less absent-minded.  Could it be some of the brain cells I’ve killed over there years are growing back?  Or do I just have a need to “believe”?
