Round Up Muffins - Green Tea and Red Beans
What a week!
This week started with a job that will see me through to 3 weeks of
intensive late late nights - I just completed week 1 and have 2
more to go. Most of the entries for Muffin Monday flooded in at the
same time. I have a mail notifier that goes *Bing!*
whenever I get new mail so while I'm working, I'm also sometimes
hearing *Bing!
Bing!
Bing!*
in the background and it made me glad to know that I now have a
well balanced life and people want to take part in my event!
Woo!
Green Tea muffins has been sitting in my head for a long time now
and I've finally made it to commemorate the round up of a very
successful first Muffin Monday! Also I've been wondering what to
make for Zorra's St
Pat's Day: Green or Irish, and was
curious how green these muffins would turn out. They obviously
became a little brown...
