Guess what this is May 8, 2013

Once a week, I post a close up photo of something I have seen lately at the top of my post. The following week, I post the full photo of last weeks close up at the bottom of the page and a new close up photo to guess on at the top of the page. It is a way to have a little fun, and look at things in a new way.

Here is this weeks photo… Guess what this is!

The answer to last week’s post is…

Slotted plastic turner

Something I have discovered while playing this guess what this is game is if you looks at things to closely it is sometimes really hard to figure out what they are, but then again if you only look at things from a distance, you can miss the important and interesting details. It is also often easy to get swayed by what someone else thinks/guesses.

My Banana Nut Bran Muffins

1/4 C Butter or Shortening (you could probably use olive oil here but I have not tried that yet)

1/4 to 1/2 C sugar (I have tried this both way and they are both yummy)

1 egg (beaten)
1 C bran (I use all bran cereal, measure it in a cup and just cover it with milk so it gets soft)
1/4 milk (just enough to cover cereal above)
1 1/2 C mashed banana

1 1/2 C flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)

1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 to 1 C chopped nuts (I use walnuts probably closer to a cup)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit

Cream butter and sugar add egg mix thoroughly.

Add milk soaked bran, mix well.

Sift flour, soda, baking powder and salt together.

Add alternately with mashed banana

See, mashed banana. :)

Add vanilla and nuts and mix well.

Fill greased muffin tins and bake at 350 degree Fahrenheit for about 25-30 minutes, until golden brow

Mmmmmmm yum, let them cool a bit then eat them up!

Gila Monster

Saw this guy behind the building where I work.

Not something often seen.
