Misfits, muffins, flowers and Haggard Hawks

Because of an impending visit from Handsome Son, and a great scarcity in the house of any little something, whole wheat walnut muffins showed up



Shortly before Misfits did, here last week's insulated bag for pickup and whatever they do next with it





Nice haul, though they'd run out of strawberries, too bad, I had plans for baking poptarts with strawberry jam, but another time.

Meanwhile lunch was a tuna melt. There will be a cauliflower cheese in my future, too. And today I'll be roasting that little chicken you saw last week, do there will be plenty of go-to no-planning food around. Always a good thing.

I expect readers all got the Haggard Hawks puzzle?

MONSOON

Some people have seen this one before, but new readers maybe not. Anyway, that's it and thank you for not giving it away.

And current reading while I'm finishing up First Ladies, is a bit of fluff from D E Stevenson


It's for when you need a break from serious writing like the books I've read lately. An amuse-bouche. Before I delve into the 1819 Project for my online book group.

Emma Mitchell has created another great arrangement, and gives us notes on what's in it.



Happy day everyone, spring equinox soon in this hemisphere, moving along so fast.

  2. Your latest misfits box looks very much like what I have in my house. You know- I've never had a tuna melt. What's wrong with me?

  3. Those muffins look good. I use Kerry Gold butter, I first discovered it years ago at Costco. So good. Have a delightful visit with HS.

    1. Kerry Gold came my way a while back, great butter, expensive, so used for best. St Patrick's Day is nearly here, this all makes sense.

  4. Those primulas in Emma's bouquet are just like the ones we have growing on our patio! The Stevenson book looks amusing.

    1. It's very much like the Provincial Lady books in style. Same period, similar social group.

    1. I'd love to open the door to that posy. There's another picture of her leaving it where the boxer can't get at it.

  8. I am so looking forward to having an oven again and being able to create little somethings.
    Autumn equinox approaching here and I am looking forward to the clocks going back. I am a rare beast who prefers winter but ours are nothing like yours.

    1. You'll be back in your element, cooking, making, soon. Yes I think we get more of a winter. I'm glad it's leaving now.

  9. What a lovely selection of information. I agree with others, the muffins look scrumptious, The flower posy is so pretty - the recipient will be delighted.

    1. I imagine she was. Emma is a brain researcher and knows the impact of seeing this kind of arrangement, so having her give it would be great.

  11. A boxer with ADHD made me laugh. The posy would be most welcome here because I love blue.
