It seems our desperate efforts to manifest a child have come to fruition! Sort of. We feel very proud. She’s a quiet baby and slept straight through the night. We are worried she may have some birth trauma after seeing us accidentally put a pitchfork through a few of her siblings.
Our vege garden is a constant source of delight.
In other food news… I have finally made something carob-y that stubbie loves. I guess I cheated because if you put enough butter, sugar and sour cream in something, you can get away with anything. She is now saying she only hates SOLID carob, so I still have some work to do.
Carob Muffins
1 cup self-raising flour (half plain, half wholemeal)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup carob powder
125g softened butter
3/4 cup raw sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup sour cream (or yoghurt)
Beat butter and sugar together til light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs. Stir in dry ingredients. Add sour cream and vanilla and mix thoroughly.
Scoop into muffin tray and bake at 175˚C for 15 mins (check with skewer). Cool for 5 mins before turning out onto wire rack.
Oh my goodness! This is the cutest potato ever! No-one in their right mind could eat this! lol
