A strawberry muffin coated with a crumbly topping. These are really soft, moist muffins, and the topping lends a beautiful crunch to them. I used frozen strawberries and noticed that the color of the strawberries faded to a really pale pink after baking and became a little stringy - as you can see in this photo. I wonder if fresh strawberries would make a difference?
This is a beautiful cold hardy palm that is very easy to grow. It is also drought tolerant, inexpensive and readily available at nurseries and discount stores. Like many palms, the pindo produces an elaborate flowering structure called an inflorescence - the orange fruit forms on these structures after the female flowers have been pollinated. In the deep south, a jelly is made from these fruits. They have a terrific taste that starts out like apple and tranforms to tart tropical flavors as it tantalizes the tongue. Too bad the fruit has a large seed and stringy fibrous flesh or I would eat them by the handful!
This palm produces a large quantity of fruit, which can be a nuisance, as ripening fruit attracts wasps and other insects. Remove flower stalks to avoid messy cleanups.

Ingredients
- 4 cups tightly packed, from about 5 bunches, parsley leaves
- 1 cup tightly packed, from 2 bunches, mint leaves
- 3/4 cup good olive oil, plus more for the pan
- 2 cups plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 2 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
- (1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 4 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 2/3 cups sugar
Directions
1. To make the herb-oil mixture, put a fourth of the parsley and mint in a strong blender or food processor, and blend it on low speed. Use a blender stick to help crush the herbs while the blade is spinning (or stop the machine from time to time to push the herbs back down toward the blade). Slowly increase the speed to medium (or a steady puree, in a food processor) and continue adding the rest of the herbs until you have added all of them.
2. In a steady stream, add half of the olive oil. Mix on medium-low speed (or pulsing, if using a food processor) until all is combined. Add the remaining olive oil and blend for no longer than 10 seconds. The mixture will look loose and stringy. Scrape out the blender to get all of the parsley mixture, transfer it to a bowl, and refrigerate until ready to use.
3. In a bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, salt, and baking powder and set aside.
4. In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, whip the eggs for about 30 seconds. Add the sugar and mix on high speed until the mixture is very thick and turns a pale yellow color, about 3 minutes. Turn the mixer speed down to low and add the herb-oil mixture.
5. With the machine still running, add the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Do not over mix. Pour the batter into a container and refrigerate it for at least 6 and up to 24 hours (the cake will turn out much greener than it would if you baked it right away).
6. When you're ready to bake, preheat the oven to 340°F and lightly oil a sheet pan -- ideally a 13- x 18-inch for a thin cake but 11 3/4- x 16 1/2-inch will work with a slightly longer baking time (at Food52, we used a 10- x 15-inch jelly roll pan). Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper and lightly oil the paper. Pour the batter into the sheet pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.
7. Bake for 12 to 18 minutes, rotating the cake halfway through. If the top begins to brown before the inside of the cake is done, turn the heat down to 330° and let it cook a couple of minutes longer. When a cake tester inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, it's done. Let it cool in the pan.
8. To serve, tear serving-size squares of cake into a few larger pieces and divide them among individual plates. If desired, serve with vanilla ice cream and lemon zest. Alternately, eat warm with butter for breakfast.

The Ringfinder is a one-of-a-kind figure entirely handmade by me: CWPoppets!
He is made of polymer clay and painted with acrylic paint. He is holding a tiny ring in his hands and wears a loin cloths made of cheese clothes. He has sharp teeth and long finger- and toenails. His hair is dirty and stringy.
The figure is 3,5 inches/9 cm in his sitting position.
What is a habitat tree?
Habitat trees are trees that are retained in urban parks, on non suburban road verges and the medians of main roads, and fringe areas adjoining hilltop reserves, urban parks and the urban edge. Habitat trees are created by retaining mature trees that have died or need to be pruned heavily, and cutting over the main branches to leave a 'totem' with exposed hollows to provide habitat for birds and animals. There are generally six main Eucalyptus species that are used for habitat trees because they are relatively rot resistant and resilient to the effects of the weather and aging. These trees are Eucalyptus melliodora (Yellow box), Eucalyptus polyanthemos (Red box), Eucalyptus bridgesiana (Apple box), Eucalyptus rossii (Scribbly gum), Eucalyptus mannifera (Red spotted gum) and Eucalyptus macrorhyncha (Stringy bark). More than 100 habitat trees have been retained within the urban area during the past 20 years.

This plant flowers every winter and this is the first time it's thrown a bloom when the light is peaking and the temperatures are warming. The flower stalk emerges and drips a sticky sap before the stringy flowers open and fill the house with a sweet fragrance. The flowers are short lived and the whole stalk will be finished blooming in a week, after which it gets cut out.

Foundation stone 22 May 1848 by the Colonial Secretary, A M Mundy, consecrated 24 Mar 1849 by Bishop Short, chancel & vestry added 1865, porch added 1912 with bell presented by T R Scarfe of nearby “Eden Park”. Foundation stone of schoolroom in Bridge St 14 Mar 1891 by A Hay.
“In 1848 there was no church nearer to Kensington than St. John's, Halifax street. Bishop Short lived at Kensington and 46 residents of the district signed a petition seeking provision of a church to serve the needs of people living between the foothills and the area reserved for the city. At meeting in the Bishop's home in April, 1848, a subscription list was opened and the appeal met with such a ready response that the foundation stone of the new church was laid only six weeks later.” [Advertiser 24 Mar 1949]
“St. Matthew's Church. . . The acre was granted by the South Australian Company from part section sold to the Brunskill's. . . much expense was saved in church building by gifts of stone and free, quarrying, sand and free carting. The brothers, William, Charles, and Henry Dean, were among the leading workers. The sand, was obtained, from the creek on the Reed's property at Heatbpool.” [Register 17 Nov 1923]
“On Monday last, the foundation-stone of the Episcopal Church (St. Matthew's), at Kensington, was laid by the Hon. A. M. Mundy. Notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the weather, about one hundred persons were present, including several clergymen and ladies.” [Register 24 May 1848]
“St. Matthew’s Church, Kensington. — A beautiful font of white Sydney marble, from a design of Mr Edmund Blackett, architect to the cathedral of St. Andrew's, at Sydney. . . has been presented to the above church, by Miss Seton, as a parting gift, she being on the eve of her departure to England.” [South Australian 23 Feb 1849]
“The weather was not altogether propitious, as a cold wind was blowing, and a heavy shower came on during the ceremony. However, notwithstanding this drawback, a numerous congregation assembled in the neat simple little church, which, with its background of hills, forms a most pleasing and picturesque object. . . The burial-ground was then consecrated by the Bishop.” [South Australian 27 Mar 1849]
“St. Matthew's Church, Kensington.—The Fancy Bazaar in aid of a fund for the purchase of an harmonium, was opened yesterday.” [Adelaide Times 15 May 1856]
“the prettily-situated suburban Church of St. Matthew's, Kensington, was reopened, after having undergone considerable alterations, consisting of the addition of a chancel to the previous place of worship, and a complete renovation internally and externally.” [Weekly Chronicle 9 Sep 1865]
“The picturesque old church, of St. Matthew, at Kensington, which was the third church built in South Australia by settlers, and which is a prominent landmark in the eastern suburbs, is now undergoing a rapid change in appearance, under the supervision of Messrs. F. W. Danker & Son, architects. The renovations are being paid for by the members of the parish. The alterations to be made will not cause the building to lose its antique appearance. A new organ chamber is being erected, while a porch to be built on to the front will greatly improve that portion of the building. The outside of the church will be roughly plastered and finished with a whitewash. New floors are to be put down inside, and the choir stalls and congregation pews will be altered. An oak dado 5 ft. high, will run around the interior wall much enhancing its ancient aspect, and a new rood beam of oak will be erected across the chancel arch. The Gothic windows will be of a lattice design, carried out in leaded lights. . . The church was erected by the early parishioners, who carted the granite and other stone from the hills near by. The pews were constructed of stringy bark and stained to represent oak, and were not fastened to the floor. Each member of the church was expected to manufacture his own seat, and when the service was over, he placed this piece of the church furniture under his arm and carried it to his home.” [Daily Herald 31 Jul 1912]
“The restoration of St. Matthew's Church, Kensington, nearly 64 years after its dedication in May 1849, was recently undertaken at a cost of about £700 or £800. Efforts to raise this money were begun two years ago.” [Advertiser 18 Nov 1912]
“In 1919 St. Matthew's was renovated but as far as possible the original character of the building was preserved. Even the wood originally used for the seating was put back. . . A roll of honour bearing, the names so often read out during service throughout the war is placed on the eastern wall of the church.” [Register 16 Apr 1923]
“The Bishop of Adelaide (Dr. Thomas) will dedicate tomorrow morning at St. Matthew's, Kensington, the new carved blackwood altar Erected as a memorial to Canon Dempster, for 30 years rector.” [Advertiser 29 Apr 1933]
“At St. Matthew's Church, Kensington, special services have been arranged to celebrate the seventy-fifth year of the church's consecration.” [Register 20 Sep 1924]
The spidery goodness ended up looking a lot like last years octopeep, so I pulled it. The web itself has been abandoned, leaving one lone fly stuck up there. It ended up looking a little better when left sort of stringy and abandoned rather than pulled taut. (When it was taut, the spider really looked missing.)
This macro photo shows the amazing red yucca plant in full bloom now in Arizona. This plant is used frequently in landscape plantings all over Phoenix. At this time of year, the city streets are softened and brightened with streamers of pink and peach colors as the yucca plant sends forth long stalks filled with tiny pink buds and blooms.
This plant looks like a stringy cluster of thin green fronds radiating from the center mound, most of the year. In April and May they burst forth in such beauty! Here is a link to a fine informational page with photos taken in Glendale in 2005:
When I first purchased Avery and Sophina from Amazon back in 2014, I was truly appalled by the condition of their hair when I first pulled them out of their box. I've witnessed many dolls with terrible hair when they first appear out of their packages, but Avery and Sophina were definitely among some of the worst! What was so nasty about Avery's hair was the fact that it was almost greasy and stringy looking, while at the same time looking matted and frizzy! This photograph really does not convey just how despicable Avery's hair was when I initially took her out of the box. It looks so much more mild and tame here, than it was in person. I remember that her hair was pretty difficult to comb through, even when it was loaded with oodles of conditioner! I cannot possibly imagine any child knowing how to deal with this hair. In fact, without the flat iron treatment, I'm not sure there is much that could be done for a doll like Avery!

After twelve days at the hotel where Eunie has been staying, eating every meal consisting of pretty much the same stir-frys and curries every day, she was ready for a gastronomic break. I told her yesterday, when I came back from the Nadi Temple, that there was a MacDonald’s somewhere back in the direction of town. So, at about noon, we started the long walk in the quest of the undisputed king of junk food.
It turned out to be a bit farther than I remembered, possibly a couple of miles. Eunie never slowed down or looked back. The call of the Big Mac was shrieking raucously in her ears:
When in North America we never eat so foolishly. Our idea of junk food in Indianapolis is to go to Arnie’s Bar and Restaurant and get a single order, which we share, of gigantic mushroom caps filled with a nice Italian tomato sauce and topped with Romano cheese. In Canada we call big, steaming bowls of onion soup junk food. Hmmm . . . stringy cheese . . .
If you’re wondering how MacDonald’s manifests its image of looming obesity in Fiji, wonder no more:
Right, it looks just like the one three blocks from your house.
And, as for the offensive object itself:
Yes, it is just as disgusting and offensively tasteless as anywhere on the face of Mother Earth.
I have to admit that Eunie and I have a sort of death pact between us. Everywhere we go in the world, and that list is ramping up quite nicely, we seek out a MacDonalds and force ourselves to eat a Big Mac. Eunie actually claims to like one once in a while. I can hardly choke it down.
It’s a little taste of home.
Ni Sa Moce, Fiji - Vinaka. (Goodbye, Fiji - Thanks.)
It's been nice.
My Vanellope Von Schweetz Talking 11'' Doll has been completely deboxed. She is free standing, and is photographed from various angles.
She is an accurate representation of one of the main characters of the newly released Disney animated feature Wreck-it Ralph. She is the ''Glitch'' of the Sugar Rush video arcade game, one of bunch of young girls competing to win a race in confectionery go karts. She speaks several phrases from the movie when her mid-section is pressed, in the voice of Sarah Silverman. The sound is loud and clear.
She is full poseable, with moveable head, arms and legs. Her head can swivel around 360 degrees, but cannot tilt up or down. She has fully articulated shoulder, elbow and wrist joints, so her short arms are surprisingly poseable. She only has four fingers in of her rather large hands. She has no knee or ankle joints, and no toes on her flat stumpy feet. She is fairly stable free standing, but her loose hip joints and very heavy head make her topple over with just a light nudge. She cannot sit down on her own without support from behind, because her legs don’t quite bend 90 degrees, and her head is very heavy and unbalanced towards the back.
She has a very large head for an 11’’ doll, which matches her movie character. She has very large bright brown eyes, glancing to her right. She has thick black eyebrows, and short thin eyelashes over each eye. She has a small button nose that is colored the same bright pink color as her lips. Her mouth has thin lips forming a toothy smile. She has protruding big round ears.
Her long straight jet black hair is in a pony tail that has been bunched up at the top of her head, and tied with a red licorice ribbon. There are two candy covered hairpins in either side of her head. There are two long bangs on the right side of her head, and two short pig tails over her ears. There is a lot of hair product used to keep her bangs and pony tail bun in place. Otherwise, her hair is soft and smooth.
Her outfit is entirely removable. She has a blue-green hooded sweater that is covered in glitter, and has two non-functioning pink drawstrings in the front. She has a short pleated dark brown skirt, over blue-green and white striped stretch pants. Finally she has black flat-heeled shoes, with a swirling pink stringy pattern on their soles.

Water hyacinth is a great cleanser of water. It is even used for sewage filtration in some small city water systems. This looks yucky now but the brown parts will soften, fall away and the fish will eat them. It will keep replicating itself with new green parts, making too much which I will put in my compost. It has furry, stringy roots which hang down an inch or two which the fish will like to nibble and also hide out in.
I also put one potted Pond Pickerel plant and some little pond ferns in as well. There is probably one nursery near you which has a special section and person who are local authorities on garden ponds. Of the 3 nurseries near around here one has no pond plants, one is starting to have them and learn about them and the third has a large selection of supplies and plants and a woman there who can tell me everything about it. And she's got a list of people who have ponds too. There used to be a garden pond group that had a meeting once a month and visited each other's ponds, sharing ideas and plants etc.

Sunday morning woke up there was fog & frost everywhere it was beautiful
(from indoors) then I spotted this web the frost has given it a stringy effect, love it.
Emu Bottom Homestead is a historic homestead near Sunbury, in Victoria. Built around 1836, Emu Bottom is the oldest existing farmhouse constructed by settlers in Victoria. It was so named because it was on low lying ground which was the haunt of numerous emus. The main homestead and some of its outlying buildings were constructed from local stone, dry coursed with creek mud and stringy bark.
Emu Bottom is also a rare example of early Australian colonial architecture, with its twelve paned deeply recessed windows recalling the old world, whilst the homestead was also intelligently adapted to the new harsh Australian environment with its wide verandas and easterly aspect.
The building of Emu Bottom homestead commenced circa 1836. George Evans (1785 – 1876), who had arrived on the Schooner Enterprise from Van Diemen’s Land (now Tasmania) in 1835, settled near modern day Sunbury. Emu Bottom, later called Emu Vale, was occupied by George Evans, by squatting license, as one of many large squatting runs on Crown Land. In 1843, George Evans, then aged fifty-eight, married eighteen year old Anne Holden. Six children were born from the union and grew up at the homestead. After 1851, many squatting runs, including Emu Bottom, became available for outright purchase. To George Evans' dismay, “his” run was purchased by the immensely wealthy pastoralist W. J. T. Clarke. The homestead block of 640 acres stayed with George Evans, but this was hardly viable. In about 1860, George Evans leased the property and moved to operate the Royal Oak Hotel in Queen Street in central Melbourne. He died in Melbourne in 1876, but his family eventually returned to Emu Bottom. In 1916 the last of Evans’ son’s died and the property passed through several owners, being renamed “Holly Green.”
In 1968, the property was purchased by the current owners, and Holly Green was completely restored and was given back its original - if perhaps less poetic - name. During restoration, several discoveries were made including the original kitchen fireplace and oven, as well as some artifacts. Today the homestead and surrounds are managed as a reception centre.
just the best for making pies, not stringy at all.

Well partner, apparently I do thrive under a bit of pressure. This has varied a bit from the original plan but most of my quilts usually do. Here's hoping you like a little texture with your quilt! =D
This is a beautiful cold hardy palm that is very easy to grow. It is also drought tolerant, inexpensive and readily available at nurseries and discount stores. Like many palms, the pindo produces an elaborate flowering structure called an inflorescence - the orange fruit forms on these structures after the female flowers have been pollinated. In the deep south, a jelly is made from these fruits. They have a terrific taste that starts out like apple and tranforms to tart tropical flavors as it tantalizes the tongue. Too bad the fruit has a large seed and stringy fibrous flesh or I would eat them by the handful!
This palm produces a large quantity of fruit, which can be a nuisance, as ripening fruit attracts wasps and other insects. Remove flower stalks to avoid messy cleanups.

this was my attempt at recreating Alex Deforests portraits. Like his portraits, I was wanting to only light up half my face and would have liked the image to have a stronger contrast but I think Alex must edit his photos quite a bit to achieve this result as I couldn't completely recreate it. I am still happy with how this image ended up, I think the optic lights create a really cool stringy effect.
Well, here it is...the new "do"...semi-fixed, in color and everything. Now, I don't look like I'm going bald, nor do I have skunk stripes from my naturally blonde roots shining against the previously dark burgundy-colored ends. :P Aaaaand...my hair actually looks healthy. No more stringy, frizzy ends! : ) (It also brought some color to my complexion. Yay!!)
I had this done while my kids were in school yesterday. Neither of them knew I was going to do it. When I picked them up from the bus stop, their jaws both dropped to the ground. My daughter (who is very blunt and to-the-point) said that my new hairdo looked good and that I reminded her of a pixie. My son kept saying, "Mommy, I love your hair.". As the evening progressed, he repeated that line about 50 times. Each time, he'd end up hugging me- then sneaking to "pet" me on top of the head. LOL It was cute.
On a side note- my boyfriend hasn't seen it yet. I'm curious to see what his reaction is going to be. :P

The same recipe as the last. By the 3rd stretch & fold it looked like the dough was nicely developed with its stringy internal texture. Ambient temperature was around 18°C during the S&F dough development.
Again, no real shaping due to the wetness of the dough just straight into the proving bowl after the last S&F, then into the fridge for an overnight retard. I didn’t get to bake the loaf in the morning and it wasn’t until around 16 hours later that it was going into the oven. It looked like a giant muffin as it was nearly overflowing out of the proving bowl!
The fun didn’t stop here. Due to inflated state, it was very delicate and I didn’t want to deflate it. While I was trying to transfer it to the pre heated pyrex dish, my aim wasn’t so good and it caught on the lip. This meant I couldn’t put the top on it. The slashing went ok but then I some how managed to drop the in oven temperature gauge on top of the dough! Thankfully there was not much damage done and it was baked like the rest have been.
