Homemade vanilla extract was refilled. I go through it very quickly at this homestead. However, as gardening season sets in, I won't have all this time to bake with (probably a good thing).
Enjoying another batch of homemade English muffins. These don't have a lot of "nooks" and "crannies" but they are delicious. The trick is to only knead the dough a few minutes to keep it soft.
And just so you know I am taking time for myself, and pampering myself. I took that last glass of bubbly (from the pea dish night) and took it to the bathroom....
....and had a nice relaxing soak in the tub with essential oils. I had some candles burning and rejuvenated my body and soul. Momentarily.
Today's it's back to that tile floor.
Or not.

Hmmm...that would be me "...or not"...likely NOT. :) I go through lots of vanilla extract here too, I need to make my own. I do have vanilla beans...there is just so much to think about, so many things I want to stop buying, but I get overwhelmed really easily. I should keep a list of what I'd like to home-make and tackle them one at a time. I'm so glad you had a nice relaxing bath. I do the same with a glass of wine a few times a week, it really rejuvenates! :)
I could eat one of those English muffins slathered with butter right now!
Rain, I am typically one to put myself last, and this year I am devoted to put myself up a notch.
Mama Pea, the muffins are pretty darn good. I love the fact the recipe only contains 1 Tbsp. of honey. Yum.
Good for you! Self-care is important! I haven't made anymore muffins as I can barely keep up now that everything is growing like weeds outside and most of them are weeds! Yours look perfect!
Thanks Sam I Am, I need to let the dough rise more during the first rise next time. I was sort of in a hurry. Like you said, "barely keep up." So much to do now.
