It's a beautiful winter day here in White Lake. The lake looks like some kind of moonscape where the wind eddied the snow, then Jack Frost froze it in place. The sun is dazzling on the snow and the fir trees are gently swaying from the north wind. The snow outside our house is higher than the deck but not so worrisome that we have to shovel off the roof! It's minus 9 so still enjoyable, and I really should strap on my skiis and take the dog for a slide.
Tonight, I'm entering my chili into the family chili-fest. I'll have the ignominy of submitting a deer-meat chili so I'm not likely to win first prize as deer meat is notoriously wild tasting despite heavy doses of garlic and chili powder. I'm hoping the men of the family will rise to the occasion....you know: we are MEN; we eat WILD MEAT! Otherwise, I'll have to drink too many Coronas then shamefully cart the whole mess of chili back home.
Dawn's cheese muffins will also be on the menu and, yes, you'll realize how little I have to say in my blog today when I stoop to add her recipe here. But really, folks; it is delish and really easy to make! I urge you to try it today!
2 cups flour
4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup white sugar (not really essential)
1 well-beaten egg
1/4 cup shortening
1 cup milk
1 cup grated OLD cheese
Sift baking powder, flour and sugar together. Mix in shortening. Beat eggs, add milk. Add wet to dry ingredients including cheese. Combine all then drop into muffin tins. Bake 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes. These are the best!
