New approach to hot biscuits

I thought I'd try using muffin pans this time. Usually I make one large one, which I break up when cooked, or spoon it out. Half ap flour, half fresh ground steelcut oats, chocolate chunks, golden raisins, chopped walnuts. Olive oil, butter milk as fats. Usual baking powder, soda, salt. No sugar. Not dessert. 



I always need some breadlike food around, and this is breadlike, if fancy. I was down to one slice of banana bread, horror!

And it did come out okay. Also came out of the muffin tins cooperatively.

Long power outage after storms yesterday, though we got only minor damage. No internet. The neighbors usually text me for information!

 Not sure why they trust me to know what's going on. One said, oh well, if you didn't know I was going to call the power company!  Who were apparently telling people to consult their online outage maps. How, we wondered, after power came back, along with internet, and we found the messages. I get text alerts, so that worked.

Unusually long outage, but when trees are brought down, more storms strong enough these days to bring down huge old trees, it slows everything.

Out early this morning to see how my seedlings managed, fine, as it happens, and to look at this miniature world of fungi and lichen on the gate. To me a magic world, to my contractor friend a sign of rot!
