Pass the Pumpkin, Please!

26 Jan

I woke up pretty early this morning, considering how late I ended up staying awake last night!  After a quite boring dinner of peanut butter and jelly and my salad leftovers, a friend and I watched about four hours of Twin Peaks.  Have you seen Twin Peaks?  It’s the greatest show in the history of television, I’m telling you.  I’ve you’ve never heard of it, you should rent the DVDs!  It’s a very absurd detective-esque series from the early 90s.  It’s by David Lynch, and if you’ve seen any of his films you’ll probably have a good understanding of how bizarre it can be!

So, yeah, I ended up going to sleep fairly late.  Even so, I bounded out of bed this morning for breakfast.  I don’t have too many breakfast options at the moment, so I settled on peanut butter and jelly on an english muffin- again.  I love this combo, but it is getting a bit old!  I believe it’s time for a grocery store trip.

Of course, consumed with mass quantities of coffee.  I think I’ve been over-doing it on the coffee the past two days.  Just because I am able to drink it in excess now that I am not sick, doesn’t mean I should!  I’ll have to remind myself that this morning.  Or later this afternoon when I reach for a cup.

The urge to bake struck me soon after breakfast!  I found a can of pumpkin in my bare cabinets and got to work on pumpkin muffins from the Post-Punk Kitchen.

It’s barely past breakfast and I’ve already consumed one.  They’re really good!  I added walnuts to mine and had to sub half of the oil for applesauce, since I ran out.  Because of that, or because I couldn’t wait five minutes to cool, they stuck to the wrappers.  It’s all good though, no scrap muffin was left behind!

Time to get going with my day!  Lots to do, lots to do!

    I’ve been over-doing it with coffee too. It’s making me waaayy too jittery. Those muffins look delish!

    I’ve overdone it on the coffee one too many times. I love the stuff, but I definitely need to limit myself.

    Enjoy your muffins! I love that recipe.

    Those muffins are -so- good! They were the first vegan pumpkin muffins I ever made that didn’t suck. :)

    I love Twin Peaks! I have both seasons on dvd, and the pilot episode. I tend to watch them way more than I should. Wow, I just realized how lame that makes me sound… I love your blog by the way!

    Honestly? I’m amazed you were able to SLEEP after Twin Peaks. That show reeeeeeally scared me! But it’s great.

    I love pumpkin muffins! I usually make mine with some pepitas and dried cranberries.
    I used to watch “Twin Peaks” back in middle school (God, that makes me sounds OLD) and I never could sleep after wards. That Bob character was one creepy dude!
