So, it's 3:20am. I've been awake for just over an hour now. Which is frightening.
But, oh, we're leaving for the airport in about an hour.
Am I dressed? Completely packed? Reasonable sane? That'd be a negative on all the fronts. ;)
It's back out to Cali and Oregon for a wedding and to visit friends and family. And food that we can't get out here. :) Super excited. But well aware that I'll probably wind up being awake for 24 hours, due to time zones and what not.
Obviously no new baking this weekend, but probably on the 24th. Maybe by then I'll be better about updating on a more regular basis lol
Take care, everyone! :)

Pumpkin Cranberry Muffins
Well, look at that. Something that I made on Saturday is being posted about within two days. Wow!
It's been just over a week now since I gave in and bought a new wrist brace. The tendonitis has been flaring up again, and after three or four weeks of pain, yeah, something needed to be done. Of course it's the right wrist, since my left-handed-abilities are near to non-existant. (It was a great day when I was finally able to eat my cereal left handed without spilling milk.) Work doesn't really help it very much, since again, right-handed, and sometimes it involves lifting things that are a touch on the heavy side. Oh, and the computer! My dear, sweet computer, how you pain me so! Rather, the mouse and typing. Hmph. Sometimes I really think I was made from recycled parts.
So I'm gonna keep this one on the brief side in order to keep the swelling down. These muffins? Made of win. In my search for decent pumpkin muffins, again, Peabody saves the day. Lacking Raisinets, I popped in some Craisins to boost the health values a bit more. I like 'em and the general consensus has agreed with me. As it should. ;)
Ingredients:
1-2/3 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
½ cup tightly packed brown sugar
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
½ tsp. ground ginger
½ tsp. ground nutmeg
1 tsp. baking soda
¼ tsp. baking powder
¼ tsp. salt
2 eggs
1 cup pumpkin
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup Craisins
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350F. Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners.
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, brown sugar, sugar, spices, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
In a medium bowl, stir together the eggs, pumpkin, and butter. Combine into dry ingredients, beating just until moistened. Stir in Craisins.
Fill muffin cups about 3/4's full.
Bake at 350F for 20-22 minutes, or until toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Let cool on wire rack.
