3" of slush, and orange-ginger muffins

[42itous]

I just went out and shoveled the heaviest snow I've ever lifted. There was rain falling out of the sky when I went out, and by the time I came it, it switched to sleet. Bleh.

In other news, I revisited my orange-ginger muffin recipe this morning, this time using my brand-new bright-blue silicone muffin pan! The recipe:

Preheat oven to 425.
2 cups flour
1/3 c sugar
1 generous Tbsp baking powder
some cinnamon
a bit of nutmeg
2 eggs
1/3 c canola oil
juice of one large navel orange (1/4 cup or a little less)
zest of one orange
insides of a different large navel orange, chopped into approximately 1/4" pieces
candied ginger, chopped into smaller pieces
Bake 20 minutes. Makes 8 muffins.

And the verdict: the silicone pan is wonderful! You don't have to pry the muffins out. Their bottoms aren't burnt. They're baked evenly all the way through. Yay!

When I went out to shovel earlier, I figured, "I'd better get this done because it's turning to rain and it'll just get heavier." Now we have thunder and lightning, and more snow and lots of wind! I looked out the front door, and it's not even apparent that the front walk has been shoveled.

I am grateful that I have been able to stay inside pretty much all day. Going out this evening should be, um, fun. And no, I can't cancel: shelter cats need to be fed, medicated, brushed, etc, no matter what the weather.
