Wabbit Hair.

The Cherub came into our bedroom this morning to tell me that Fixit has wabbit hair.

I had to ask him what he meant. He traced Fixit's hairline for me. See? The ears? Rabbit hair.

Before they ring the bell at Climber's school each morning, they play music to alert the kids to stop playing and line up outside their classroom door. This morning I suddenly realised they were blasting out Luciano Pavarotti singing Nessun Dorma (None Shall Sleep). It made me cry.

I modified a favourite muffin recipe with great success to create ...

Walnut & Cinnamon Muffins.

2 1/2 cups (375g) Self-Raising Flour
3/4 cup (165g) Caster Sugar
1 tspn Cinnamon
1 Egg, beaten lightly
1/3 cup (80ml) Apple Puree (if no apple, just double the vegetable oil so that you have 2/3 cup of it)
1/3 cup (80ml) Vegetable Oil
3/4 cup (180ml) Buttermilk
1 (generous) tablespoon Golden Syrup
180g Chopped Walnuts

1. Preheat oven to moderately hot (200 - 210 deg. C. or 400 deg. F.) Grease a 12 hole muffin pan. (Actually my batch made 15 muffins all up)

2. Sift flour, sugar and cinnamon into large bowl. Stir in remaining ingredients. (Don't overdo it, muffins don't work if you stir too much)

3. Divide mixture into muffin holes. Bake for 20 minutes. Stand 5 minutes, turn onto wire rack to cool.

Bloody yum.
