Blueberry Muffins

I baked blueberry muffins from my one of favorite recipes today. In the past, I have tried many different recipes for baking blueberry muffins, carrot cake, banana bread, raisin & oatmeal cookies, apple pie and cheese cake. From the many trails, I have chosen the best recipe for each of these. It was very fun to do. I now have a standard recipe for each of these baked goods.

Potato Chips & French Fries

I tried to make potato chips today. I cut some potatoes with a slicer, soaked the slices in water, dried them and then fried them in oil. I learned that making potato chips is hard! I spent a long time making them and produced only a little.
I made french fries too. The french fries were much easier to make than the potato chips.

Sunrise

I saw a nice sunrise at 5:50AM today. The sun was over the crowds and reflected on the lake.

Seminole Orange

I bought oranges at the store today. When I cut them, the inside was a very orange colour and had a sweet taste.

Poppyseed Bagel

Here is my latest poppy seed bagel. It was good when we toasted it and spread some cream cheese on it.

Amanatsu & Amanatsu Cake

I saw my neighbor when I was walking this morning. He gave me a big orange called "amanatsu" from his back yard. The orange size was the same as both of my fists.
I baked a cake using it. I used the juice from half of the orange in the cake batter. While the cake was baking in the oven, I made syrup from the other half of the orange. I soaked the cake in the syrup after I baked it. The orange's sourness was good for the cake.

Picking Raspberries

I went wild berry picking again. I only got a little this morning. I guess the season has almost finished. I also noticed that there are different types of raspberries and that each has a different size.
