Blueberry, Banana, Walnut Muffins, + Greek Easter + Haircuts + Stats

It was a busy weekend. I got most of the herbs planted. I bought more basil, thyme, and 3 more tomato plants. I hope I don't regret buying the tomato plants. They have never worked out here.  There is not enough sun in our yard, but they have 5 months to grow.

The blueberry muffins on the other hand came out killer. The recipe is below.

May 5th, aka Greek Easter, aka Cinco de Mayo, was yesterday and we celebrated it in style again with our friends Charles, and Kathleen Cramer and a bunch of friends. Amazing food by Kathleen, lots of music, and good times with old acquaintances.

I gave my friend Michael a haircut this Saturday. He looks handsome.

Try this recipe, it rocks.

That's it.
