Coffee Break # 4 Waiting on Spring!

I like Izzes, & seltzer with a little fruit juice--not a big fan of real sweet stuff--that's some drink of yours, Deb! If that volcano erupts, we'll have some very pretty sunsets.

Yes we will. I think it's just a matter of time.

Is volcano a friend of A-rod's?

Anything that changes the subject is now a friend of A-roid.

That's great info, Jen! Makes a lot of sense to me. I don't trust anything that is full of chemicals instead of nutrition. I'm enjoying a nice hot cup of tea and honey as we speak. Yummm....double good!

Victor - "A-roid".......LOL - first cousin to "hem"???

hee hee!!!!

Jen, thanks for the info.

Not a problem.

Wow - over 2000 posts and Daylilies still beat us. Where did they come from?!

They're doing alphabet threads - all A daylillies, etc...

Cheating!

Maybe we should start our OWN alphabet!!

But I just got used to the old one!

I would like to use only consonants. Kind of like the Slavic languages. Looks like fun.

We'd need to develop our own set of runes or glyphs or something

Being a part-time psychic, I feel many of my thought posts go uncounted. That's unfair.

'Hey, you just stepped on my tv!'

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/scienceandtechnology/technology/4566704/Televisions-to-be-fitted-in-contact-lenses-within-ten-years.html

People driving and on the cell phones, and now driving and TV's in our eyeballs.

Don't worry. They're disposable.

So the TV eyes would take over the breast implants?

Could we combine them?

Good idea - lenses that make them look not only bigger, but in 3D(or 4D).

So those cardboard movie glasses are also included?

I'm back from the Dr.. Looks like bronchitis. Bummer

Ooooo. That is not good. You have to stay in bed and take all the meds the doctor gave you. Get well soon!

Get better quick Dave47. Your garden needs you.

Dave get better as quick as possible, spring is coming.

Oh that stinks. Feel better Dave.

At least you know what it is. I don't think staying in bed would be a good idea--the faster it drains, the sooner you can be gardening.

Careful, Dave---nasty stuff that bronchitis. The sun was so warm today while walking---& it smelled like spring-----dare we hope for early warmth? Forties felt much better today than in, say, Nov.

It really did feel nice when I was waiting for the kids.

Victor, you're too much...."4D". LOL

Dave - sure hope you feel much better soon!!

Yay....full moon tonight......Spring is almost here. It's the full moon in February that ends the freeze warnings down here. It MUST have some significance up there too!! Hold on, my pals!!!

Dave47! YIKES! This is a terrible time to get ill. so bundle up and drink something soothing (personally I like hot rye and honey).

Take care and feel better soon!

Yes, it was nice today. I sat out in the garden in the sun for quite awhile this afternoon.

Get well soon Dave.

People are going start looking like the ones in Wall-e if you have tv in front of you 24/7

OK FOLKS!! Here it is!! The secret recipe for my World-Famous

High-Protein Blueberry Muffins

Oven Temp: 400ºF
Baking Time: 20 minutes

12 Muffins (or 9 large muffins)

1/4 cup butter
1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
1 egg

1-1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1/3 cup wheat germ (or more)
1/4 cup dry milk
1-1/2 tsp baking powder
(Add 1/2 tsp salt if using sweet butter)

1 cup milk
1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen, halved.

Crumb Topping
Combine: 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/3 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp cinnamon (or more)
Cut in: 1/4 cup butter.

• Cream together butter and brown sugar. Beat in the egg.

• In another bowl, combine dry ingredients. Mix well.

• Add dry ingredients alternately with milk to the butter mixture. Stir until combined. DO NOT over beat. Gently fold in blueberries.

• Fill greased muffin pans. Sprinkle Crumb Topping over each muffin.

• Bake at 400ºF for 20 minutes. Let muffins cool a few minutes before removing from pan.

If you SKIP the Crumb Topping, add the cinnamon to the dry ingredients of the muffins.

Nutritional Note:
The wheat germ complements the flour and almost doubles the protein value. The dry milk supplements the flour and increases the protein value by 50%.

Thanks, Willie! I have some berries left & will make these muffins---with son & his family living on a blueberry farm, they are always looking for new blueberry recipes, so I will pass it on.

sounds yummy

Thanks everyone! Started a "Z' pack yesterday and I just might have turened the corner.

Good to hear Dave. Hope you're back to tip top shape quickly.
