muffins

Today was sunny and warm, I had to take off all my gear while biking up the hill. Instant weight loss of five pounds! I can't wait until I can put it all away permanently. Biking was so much easier.

We went to a show at Cornell based on the book "The Body Project", which was interesting, about women and body image. Nice and simple and I leave Weds!

Seitan-making was a great success. I'm going to make banana bread muffins tomorrow. I made some frosting for my muffins the other day with coconut oil and sugar (I blended it first since I didn't have confectioner's sugar) and R loved it, it was so creamy. I made it pink with blueberry juice and added strawberry extract. Next time I might try substituting some silken tofu for the oil.

I went to a bday party, L made vegan muffins and cupcakes from Isa's books and they were a great success. I didn't eat any of course but am glad to know they are good. I really don't get the big deal with baked goods. If I wanted to glaze my body with sugar (that's what I feel it does--it glazes all the body's tissues, eventually turning you into a glazed doughnut), I would just eat a can of frosting. I don't have the white flour gene, I guess.
