Purple...

Hello,
I thought I would try something new today.  So I decided to crochet a little critter.

I named him Pablo.

Meet Pablo the Purple Hippo.  

  Isn't he cute!

The pattern for this little cutie can be found in a crochet pattern book titled,  "Vanna's Choice Easy 

Crochet Critters".

Yesterday, I got a little frustrated and decided to bake my way out of it.  :0)

I went to my pantry, looked around, didn't have much but decided to throw something together with what I had.  Wasn't sure how it was going to turn out, but am happy to report it turned out delicious.

This Southpaw's Cinnamon Bread

1. 2 cups flour
2. 2/3 cups sugar
3. 1/2 teaspoon salt
4. 2 teaspoons baking powder
5. 1/2 tablespoon cinnamon
6. 1 egg
7. 4 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled down a bit
8. 1 1/2 cups milk

Heat oven to 350° F.

In a large bowl mix the first 5 ingredients well.  Add egg, melted butter and milk.  Mix well.  Pour into a greased and floured loaf pan.  Bake for 50 minutes or until it tests clean with a toothpick.  When it cools you can make a simple glaze to drizzle over the top.  

The glaze I made was confectioner's sugar, a little milk, 1/8 tsp of cinnamon and 1/8 tsp of vanilla, all whisked together until smooth.
