Korean Mafia?
(We are very curious about this place.)

I found a basic oatmeal muffin recipe calling for quick oats, which I bought by accident months ago. We had two peaches going bad, so I decided to chop them up and mix them in. So delicious. I ran out of baking cups and dumped the remaining batter on the parchment paper to make muffin tops. I think this recipe as originally written would be rather bland and boring, but with my changes they were sweetly flavored. Still not a muffin the way those cake-like "muffin" monstrosities are made now, but a good muffin.

Easy Oatmeal Muffins
1 C milk
1 C quick-cooking oats
1 egg
1/4 C vegetable oil (I used 1/4 C applesauce, instead)
1 C all-purpose flour
1/4 C white sugar (I decreased this to 2 T)
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 small peaches, chopped up (my addition, no fruit was in original recipe)

Preheat oven to 425 F (220 C). Grease or line muffin cups (or just get the silicone ones).

In a small bowl mix oats and water. Let soak for 15 mins.

Beat together egg and oil, stir in oatmeal mixture. In another bowl, mix remaining dry ingredients together. Stir dry ingreds into wet ingreds until just combined. Fold in fruit. Spoon into cups and made for 20-25 mins until a toothpick inserted in the muffins comes out clean.

Oooh, I like the clover picture.

I suspect using brown sugar to white would be a good choice for the muffins as well.

I think this is one of those dumb basic recipes that you can muck up any way you want--and they'll turn out great. I'm aiming for a cinnamon sugar apple muffin later this week. We've got some apples on their last leg and for some reason I have three (possibly four) containers of cinnamon in the house!!

I think unknown flower 1 looks like milkweed. That is what Monarchs like to eat and grow in. It's seed pods are really cool in the fall. When I was a kid I pretended that they were birds.

Hey Amanda,

I'm finally back from my long blogging sabbatical and was also able to catch up on all your blog posts.
I posted my wedding pics on my blog a few days ago, hope you have time to check it out!
Glad to hear you and Good Man are well. Can't wait to see your wedding pics :)

Ohh, love the shots of downtown Falls Church..that is on Broad St., right? I also used to go to that Memorial Day parade every year. My dad used to drive his convertible in it, too. He was always fully dressed, as was the county commissioner who waved from the backseat. :)

Thanks, Ramsey. I really feel like I should pick up one of those flower/plant identification guides!

Joanne--yep, exactly!

An American educator moves moved to Korea, presumably to teach English. Instead she discovers discovered that learning Korean one taekwondo class at a time is was a more captivating activity.

Somewhere along the way, she met a Good Man, fell in love, and ended up back in the States. Still doing taekwondo, still learning Korean...
