Muffins sound like the good kind of temptation, ita. May you have more of those.
Dinner tonight was a roast chicken (dry brined and AMAZING.... god, I love dry brine) along with kale slaw, which we call dinosaur slaw. The trick, we have found, is to heat some garlic in oil and add vinegar until fragrant. Then we dump it over the sliced kale with some shredded cheese. Holy moley! My fave way to eat kale. Even Noah, "I don't do green things", ate a cup of it.
For dessert, I made an apple raspberry crisp (zinged the apples into small bits) in our small cast iron skillet. I used maple sugar instead of regular granulated. Again. holy yum!
Alas, too many dishes now.
Also, I almost lost it on some girl scout parents today, since I'm the only one properly through the system to be a leader. And I have no idea what I'm teaching tomorrow.
This dry brine intrigues me, Kat. Is it like salt-encrusted beef, where you roll in in a ton of kosher salt and let it sit in the fridge overnight?
Oh, and ita !, could you add grated zuchini to the next batch of muffins for fiber? (Note to self: you have 2 big packs of grated zukes in the freezer: get raisins and walnuts when you go to the store, fool!)
Strix, could you have frozen shoulder from not moving the arm very much? Here are some exercises for that: [link]
ita !, sometimes your adventures in ER land sound like a really sadistic version of Groundhog Day.
Zucchini would come with (at least some of) its own moisture, wouldn't it? The All Bran recipes take a lot of extra liquid, and also measures the make the ersatz wood mushy enough to cook with. Bran flakes might be easier.
Testing my remote settings for the Apple TV, and...ended up firing up the first episode of Eureka. I forgot Colin has his own little towel scene! How adorable. However, I have to say--the series finale really hit the right note when they
remember to show them passing themselves driving out of Eureka.
It was touching both times.
Okay, just one more muffin, and that's it for the day.

As long as I don't have to make out with Andie, I might be coming out ahead, now that I think about it. But yeah, remarkable reset button powers these people have. Maybe they're huffing that amnesia inducing painkiller.
My fave way to eat kale.
Speaking of kale. I got another huge bunch of it in my CSA yesterday, so tonight I made a vat of kale and white bean soup with andouille sausage.

Grated zukes are very moist; in fact, you usually have to press liquid out before you use it. I haven't cooked with bran, so I don't know how much it would suck up liquid. But zucchini bread is very moist and delicious, freezes very well.
