Friday the 13th - ooooOOOOOOOOOOOOooooo!

Ok, I know this is a craft/book/baking blog, but I just had to do a Friday the 13th post! You may be superstitious. You may not be. I on the whole am not, but some unlucky things have happened to me today:

1) Reckoning didn't come. Again. Didn't really expect it to, seems to have gotten lost. But still. Unlucky. :(

2) I normally spend my sister's swimming lesson sitting at the side and playing paper games with a 6 year old and an 8 year old. (I really should get paid for this...) Today I was contemplating bringing my book, because I got so desperate waiting I'm starting again from Strange Angels. I wanted to read, but decided against bringing it, because knowing them they wouldn't have let me anyway. What do you know? They weren't there! Grrr! Had to sit there for half an hour with nothing to do :(

3) Trampolining club was cancelled and it seems I was the only one who didn't know this. So I showed up anyway. Damn it :(

4) raspberry muffins spilled over in the oven. That was fun to clean up :(

5) Friend wasn't in school :(

6) don't know if this one really counts but I'll include it anyway. Only got 1 email today. 1. I feel so unpopular!! :(

Yep. My day sucked. I wonder if you're reading this thinking "omg, that's nothing compared to my crap life!" I feel for you. Everyone's day was awful. But never fear, my loyal minions, for I shall make something good happen for you! Here's the raspberry muffin recipe:

Makes 6 muffins

60g wholemeal self-raising flour
60g plain flour
3/4 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
100g caster sugar
60g fresh raspberries
60ml sunflower oil
1 egg
120ml milk
1/2 tsp vanilla essence

preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Line a muffin tin with cases.
Sift the flours, baking powder and salt into a bowl. Add the caster sugar and raspberries and mix carefully. Try not to crush the raspberries, it will make the mixture look greyish.
Beat the egg and milk together and add the vanilla.
Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients. Pour in the egg/milk mixture and the oil.  Mix together, again being careful not to crush the raspberries.
Spoon into the muffin cases and bake for 15-20 minutes, until risen and golden brown.
Cool in tin for 5 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. Best eaten within 1-2 days.

Any berries will work with this recipe, or dried fruit can also be used. Just keep the weight of the fruit the same :)

That's all for now guys! Haunted cupcakes are coming probably on Sunday. Also stay tuned for another upcoming blog tour! Yay! With the possibility of a give away...oooooOOOOOOOOOOOooooo...


!!!WATCH THIS SPACE GUYS!!!
