Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Mini Muffins

I posted this delicious recipe previously, but want to update it with some new pictures of my slightly modified Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Mini Muffins. If you click on the old recipe, you will see how the muffins look without adding the chocolate chips to the top as a garnish.  They looked fine back then, but they look even more tempting and delicious now, which also makes them taste better, simply by adding the chocolate chips to the top prior to baking.
  • 1 can (15 ounces) pumpkin
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 12 ounces miniature semisweet chocolate morsels
  • about 1/2 cup regular sized semisweet chocolate chips, to garnish

Mix everything together in this order, blending as you go, then scoop batter into a mini muffin pan.  I prefer to use silicon flexible trays, which are non-stick, and create the best baking results.  Use a heaping, medium-sized stainless steel scoop.  Bake at 375 degrees F for about 20 minutes. Cool for five or ten minutes in the muffin tray, then pop them out and allow them to cool completely on a cooling rack.  Makes about 60.  Eet smaakelijk!

Triathlon triumph

Are you kidding me? A triathlon and I have never belonged in the same sentence. It must have been time for something new! (The "BEFORE" race shot, with goggles and swim cap in hand.) What an unforgettable week this was! I actually DID enter my first triathlon, with the goal of simply finishing it. Take note of the emphasis on the word FIRST, because I loved it so much, that you can guarantee that there will be more. It was a blast. Seriously. My friends Lorraine and Robin had trained and signed up to do the event, which was two days ago, on Saturday. Three days beforehand, I heard about it and basically had a spontaneous urge to join them, so I registered. The only partial preparation ahead of time that I had been doing was cycling in the neighborhood here and there on my mountain bike with some other friends. And doing some micro-laps in our backyard pool. Our friend, Dave, was also there. The three of us women appreciated Dave's encouragement and support, as he's ...

The BIG REVEAL!

We LOVE our new pool! There are a couple of problems that need to be fixed, so we're crossing our fingers that they get it done right, and soon, considering we have given them the final check for the balance of the pool, and we don't have any leverage. Three of the waterfalls work. This is the main one and I like the natural look. Below, here's the deep end waterfall, and it's flows nicely. The water sheer like this one, that flows into the shallow beach area, is the fall that is not working. It's frustrating, but hopefully they'll fix it soon. The fountain in the spa is blocked too. Here's the small rock waterfall, which works just great. It took about 18 hours to fill the pool and we practically watched it gallon by gallon. I stayed up all night long, making sure it didn't overflow. We swim in it every day. Last night we went on a midnight swim and it was beautiful. The water temperature is perfect. I'm extremely thankful that we have our new...

Our new daughter!

This picture was taken at church a few days ago while Kelly was on his way to the US for work this week. We have some wonderful news to share.  We are adopting 7-year-old Yeh Min Yu, who has been in our home off and on the last couple of months.  There's a lot that goes into making this official, dealing with US Homeland Security to arrange for her immigration visa, Taiwan courts and Chinese documents, getting a home study done by a licensed, qualified person, applying for a passport.  You have no idea.  I'll be glad when it's all done, but I couldn't wait to share this bit of joy with everyone.  We will name her Hannah to go on her new US birth certificate.  She's excited and nervous to go to America with us.  She can say more than 100 words in English so far.  Some of her favorite things to say are "small dog, butterfly, apple, pig."  She says it more like pig-uh.  We love her and feel this is one of the reasons we came to Taiwan....
