1. You know the point when you’ve had just about a tablespoon too much coffee? But it hits you too late and so you keep drinking anyway?
2. I want a recipe for delicious lemony muffins. I made some out of The Enchanted Broccoli Forest yesterday, and they were good but not very lemony and more nutritious/snacky with the whole wheat flour and all. I recommend them but I don’t adore them. Muffins should be adored.
3. I’ve had Arthur and George out of the library for two weeks now and was slowly making my way through it, but I knew it was due today and there are holds on it so my one goal for the week was to finish it. And I did. I’m patting myself on the back. I can’t decide how much I liked it – I went back and forth between utter absorption and dusty boredom.
4. We’re going a little crazy with the lacto-fermentation here. Katy’s got some links and all for you, and I’m going to report back once we start consuming these various beverages and yogurts, but here’s what I think of when I see the little jar of kefir fermenting away on the counter.

ahhhh, kefir. Let me know how it turns out. Jon and I drank kefir for breakfast both in Morocco and Turkey. I recall liking it, but it has been over 12 years since I’ve had it. I’ll be checking in for updates. Talk to you soon.
Love, Di

If you want a lemon muffin recipe check out Ensurientes’ website:http://esurientes.blogspot.com/
She’s just posted a recipe for lemon ricotta muffins.
Don’t worry about posting to my old posts. I do the same thing when I discover a ‘new’ blog!

I have a nice lemon poppyseed recipe – will that do? Primo is a fiend for lemon poppyseed muffins.

i suspect that julian barnes is actually a writing collective, as i am otherwise at a loss to understand how he can write one book i love (flaubert’s parrot), one book i couldn’t get past the first chapter (the porcupine) and other books that i liked but didn’t consider genius (love, etc.).
have you read “a history of the world in 10 1/2 chapters”? it’s like each member of “the collective” wrote one chapter (the .5 is one of the best pieces of writing ever, in my opinion).
OKAY! based on what you say, i am waiting for arthur and george in paperback.
