Friday Fragments is hosted by Mrs. 4444 @ Half-Past Kissin’ Time, so jump on over there and see what everyone else is up to!
Bargaining – I’m getting good at this, at least with my children!
It’s blueberry season here in the hills of PA, my children adore blueberries. I adore the fact that they’re no old enough to walk to my Gram’s house and pick them themselves.
They brought me a gallon bucket full yesterday afternoon. I made them a bargain, if they would work on my to do list for me, I’d take the time to make muffins, again. So while I made six dozen good low fat blueberry muffins, 3 dozen more that stuck to the pan because I ran out of papers, and a 9*13 blueberry muffin cake, to use up the leftover batter, they papered and mulched the first four rows of my garden for me!
I thought it was a great deal. So did they when I handed them forks and told them to eat the stuck muffins out of my muffin pans.
Yeah, what a mother I am. Last night for supper my kids ate three dozen blueberry muffins!
Note to self: Never again try to bake muffins without the paper liners! I fear I’ll be scrubbing muffin pans for days, despite the fact that I greased them very good!
Another note to self: CHECK THE LABELS ON COOKING SPRAYS! Garlic flavored cooking spray should not be used when baking – so keep it out of the baking section of the cupboard!
To make up for all of my baking lately, I got distracted yesterday and spent about two hours reading diet pill reviews. I’ve never even taken any before, being 5′6″ and 113lbs… But the reviews and testimonials fascinate me!
Well, I’ve rambled on enough I suppose. Now what are your scattered thoughts?
LOL YUck on the garlic spray!! That’s awesome you and the kids are picking and baking those blueberry muffins. I wish there was a blueberry area here to pick. Cherry picking is coming up here shortly and strawberry season just got here. A little late with the weather. LOL Have a great weekend.

Stay away from the diet pills. If they worked, we’d all be skinny.
You could however go on a diet of garlic-blueberry muffins. I’m sure you would eat very little.
Have a great weekend!

I know – but they were at least healthy muffins: flour, stevia, applesauce (instead of oil), skim milk, baking powder and blueberries… Thanks for stopping by!
5′6″ and 113 lbs? I think you should be eating more of those muffins, Young Lady! (but I should probably taste them first, you know, because I’m just that unselfish.)
I really like the look of your blog; nice, neat, crisp. Very cool.

I do eat like a horse, but I always cook low fat and I practically live off of salads, kind of hard to gain weight eating veggies.
Thank you! And thanks for stopping by!
The power of food. I use it on my son all the time..

Yeah, it’s wonderful isn’t it! Thanks for stopping by!
Yeah, I’d totally keep the garlic spray out of the ‘baking’ cupboard…
How cool your kids papered and mulched the first four rows of your garden for you!
Even cooler? Having blueberry muffins for dinner.
Happy FF a day late!

And right out of the pan, still warm with spoons at that! Thanks for stopping by!
Oh my, garlic cooking spray?!
That must taste nasty… blueberry with garlic? Haha! Kids will probably vomit after eating muffins.
You learned your lesson now.
Yep, garlic spray does not belong in the baking section! My hubby is slowing learning this too, he’s the one whom always puts it away wrong. Thanks for stopping by!
