A Little Help…
Oh, sure–I have a busload of other projects that need doing but fact is, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this scrumptious little baby ripple project…for that “certain” baby.
I’m trying out the stripe generator for the first time, so that I can get a feel for working with random colors. It’s kinda fun–in a wild sort of way–to let the computer tell me yarn to use next. This way, if it turns out a hideous waste, then of course it would be the computer’s fault. If, on the other hand, it turns out to be the most beautiful thing on earth, well then, it will be entirely MY doing. I sure you see my logic.
:}
Now then, my friends…I’d like your opinion. My wise and all knowing daughter picked out a handful of lovely, trendy colors for this particular project and I’m having trouble deciding whether to use all 6 or not.
What do you think? With the yellow?
or without?
You know, if it were up to me, I’m just old school enough to think all colors need to be baby pastels, but I’m surrounded by brilliant, modern folk who are educating me on the finer art of color blending. It’s scary, unbroken ground, but I’ll tough it out and hopefully be wiser in the end.
So help me…please.
Yellow? No yellow? White? No white?
I’m terrifically stumped…
but I’ll wait patiently for your reply.
Well, until the cookies run out at least.
Reveling In…
right this minute…
~our hourly visit from Flash Gordon…at least, I think that’s who it is.
~a fabric stash that’s calling to me from the depths of the closet.
~Cinnamon Sugar donut holes–a most wicked, dreadful treat, that should be eaten alone to be done properly. Heh.
~a soft, cuddly sleeper for the sweet new baby doll up the road a ways.
~tossing a few lovely things into a skillet and having it turn out tasting beyond incredible.
~finding a “Random Stripe Generator” at a site called Biscuits and Jam–to help with a fluffy little crochet project for the new soul coming soon. :}
~a quart of soup from one of my favorite places on the planet…and a loaf of asiago bread–that would like to remain anonymous–to go along with it.
~finding that the sugary crumbs are nearly as good as the real thing…
until mommy catches you.
What are you reveling in right this minute?
Pepperoni Pizza Puffs
Yesterday, with a few moments all to myself, I had some of my favorite words in all the universe come chanting through my head…
“What shall I make?”
With a million possibilities swirling through my mind, finally, finally–it landed on “Pepperoni Pizza Puffs,” tweaked a tad from Lick the Bowl Good. Ah, yes. The perfect thing.
Took a whole 20 minutes to whip up, and may I just say…Holy. Cow.
Soft, cheesy biscuits with tons of pepperoni and mozzarella layered through and through. But the magic doesn’t end there. Oh, no. Next you dip them in warm pizza sauce, and trust me–this one will quite likely make your eyes roll back in your head.
Dude. I’m not kidding.
Make them.
Ingredients:
1-1/2 cups flour
1-1/2 tsp baking powder
2 Tbsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp salt
1-1/2 cups milk
2 eggs
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
2 cups cut up pepperoni slices
1 cup pizza sauce
Preheat oven to 375 degrees and grease two 12 cup regular muffin tins. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, Italian seasoning and salt. Next whisk in milk and egg–mix well. Stir in cheeses and pepperoni. Allow to sit for about 10 minutes.
Stir the batter then drop by 2 tablespoons into muffin cups. Bake until golden brown–about 20-25 minutes.
Warm the pizza sauce and serve with puffs.
See if you have any better luck than I did at getting them to last more than 5 minutes!
Just…like…
that.
