I tried something new this morning, I added fresh raspberries into my normal bran muffin recipe. I think they turned out excellent, and I’m quite happy with the results. I’m using the muffin recipe from How to Cook Everything Vegetarian by Mark Bittman with the Bran Muffin modification, except I’m still using white sugar instead of one of the liquid sweeteners. I thought in this case, with the fresh berries, that I wouldn’t want any extra moistness. But next time, I’m totally using maple syrup. I’ve found Bittman’s book to be incredibly helpful in our recent conversion to Vegetarianism at the home-front. It’s easy to use and it includes many variations of each recipe so you can modify based on what you have on hand.
Yum!

We went on a short hike at Waddell Creek / Rancho del Oso last weekend. It was a beautiful day and it’s a gorgeous valley. We walked up the south side and did the nature trail—without the key to all the numberings. We also headed up the Skyline-to-the-Sea trail for a ways, until time limitations made us turn around. Someday we’ll do the whole trail, although I prefer to do it in the downhill direction.

In general, it’s probably a good goal. But it’s so vague that I’m “giving up” on it. I’ve done things I’m afraid to, but I’m not done doing them. I won’t be done doing them any time soon and I think I’d like focus on a different task.
