To ring in February I was going to make cupcakes. Time constraints this week shortened kitchen duty for me and the baking process. Without the frosting on top these are simply muffins. The reason I wanted to try this recipe was for the avocados. I'm a huge avocado fan.
The hardest part about the morning is the cold because I don't like getting out of the warm bed. The best invention is the heater for the shower room. I'm so glad I don't have anything to shovel before I hit the road. On the drive in I noticed the grass looks more like dried fettuccine than lawn.
The game last night was exciting. With just over 2 minutes the Ducks tied it up at 19. Auburn then had the ball and the biggest call was by the sideline that told Dyer to keep running down on the field. Thirty seven yards later and Auburn still had a chance. Though I thought it would be a field goal and not a run in at the end - I was on the edge of my seat.
I'm doing better today and realize I need time to adjust to getting back in my routine. Cookies and naps were cut out cold turkey. So far I've eaten: kiwi, banana, whole grapefruit, strawberries, tangerine.
The tropical storms and rain have driven temperatures down low in the 80's and made for breezy conditions - it is gorgeous. Not really boating weather; but, going outside isn't all bad being cooler than normal for summer. The scorching cities such as Austin and Atlanta must feel down right unbearable right now.
Fort Matanzas sits on the south point of St Augustine for the purpose of guarding the areas inhabitants from enemies. Can I just say that enemies would never attack in the summer because I nearly passed out from the blazing heat. Armed with a light picnic lunch I had enough time to enjoy the views at my leisure. The monument is a piece of American Colonial history.
My little dobie is still recuperating so she needs to stay out of the sweltering sun and inside.
