A Quiet All Saints' Day

 


With the arrival of November, I changed the arrangement in my brown vase - and added a couple of more owls... (Cf. a previous post here.)  The bigger owls (on the other side of the bowl) will remain where they are at least until it's time for Christmas decorations, I think.


During a break in the rain, some time before noon, I took out a couple of bags to the bins at the corner of my building, and extended that walk just a little bit - without photo stops, as it was pretty much the same round as on Friday.

Did not have to put much work into preparing lunch, so instead I decided to put that effort into baking a tray of my favourite cocoa/blueberry muffins, which is something I haven't done for a few weeks either. I've changed the original recipe so that I replace 3/4 of the sugar with stevia sweetener, and half the amount of wheat flour with oats.

    1. Barbara, I'm afraid a photo of my recipe wouldn't be of much help to you as it's in Swedish + using dl and centigrades and whatnot... I'm not even sure if our "teaspoons" match?!

    1. Ginny, an eye doctor a couple of years ago advised me to eat blueberries, and besides mixing those with yoghurt for breakfast, I found that adding them to chocolate muffins works very well... ;)

    2. (Whether it actually helps my eyes I don't know, but I like the combination of cocoa+blueberries!)

  3. The autumn arrangement in your vase is very seasonal.
    I bet your flat was smelling delicious all day after baking the muffins!
