Muffin Fiend

The sock, which started out so well, doesn't fit. I'm slightly distressed, though I shouldn't be considering the gauge was smaller than it should have been and I should have paid more attention to it before I started. The next attempt will be on bigger needles; the yarn will be the same. And hopefully I'll get it right this time! Part of my problem is that I knit tightly, which makes my gauge smaller. Now that I know what the problems are and how to do things like short row heels, I should be able to get through it without any other hitches. The finished one will be a trophy sock, I guess, 'cause I don't know anyone who wears a narrow size 8 shoe. Mmph.
And now, because I kinda-sorta failed at one thing, I'm making up for it by flashing pictures of muffins. See recipe below. Since we don't have any fresh fruit in the house, I used dried bing cherries, but other stuff would work just fine.

Cherry Muffins:
2 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup plus about three tablespoons soy milk
2 eggs
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup dried bing cherries, roughly chopped (or a little more, if you want)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Whisk milk, eggs, and oil; sift dry ingredients together in a separate bowl. Mix wet ingredients into dry and stir until mostly smooth; add the cherries and stir a little more--lumps are okay, according to The Joy Of Cooking. Oil the muffin tin and fill cavities about 3/4 of the way. Bake on middle oven rack for about 20 minutes. Makes about 10 muffins, depending on the size of the pan.
