Mint Chocolate Chip Cupcakes

Submitted by cassie on Sun, 2009/04/26 - 17:03

I really like these cupcakes.

The consistency of the batter was different than others I've made. Was it the baking powder? Was it the european butter? Was it the melted chocolate? The chocolate milk? Everything came together so well. When I put the batter into the liners with the scooper, it formed this perfect little domed scoop.

The cupcakes took the whole 20 minutes to cook. When they came out of the oven, they were perfectly puffy.

It's what I want...

It's the small things...

These are small home improvements I'd like to take on:

1. The studio bathroom window. Decorativefilm.com has some great removable film that looks like cut glass when applied to the window. This would be a great way to let light in and still maintain privacy.

2. Herbs in the kitchen. I love the way they did it on Re-Nest. Bars from IKEA with hanging pots. Easy, functional, gorgeous.

Penguin Hunting (Excursion 1)

Most people would have looked up where all of the penguins in town are at. We didn't do that. So we spent a lovely afternoon driving around hoping to run into one. We found 6.
