At work it's crazy?? They are alway's calling me & another girl to come in early or on our days off??!!! I'm trying to keep a low profile! LOL My back has been bothering me since last Thursday! I've tried wearing different shoes & no luck??!! Also tried Aleve instead of Ibuprofen just yesterday so not sure if that's going to help.

So I tried my new pizza stone!
Look at how pretty my pizza looks fresh out of the oven!!
Look at how the crust stuck to the stone!!!
BUMMER!! I've never used a stone before & the directions don't tell you to pre-heat the stone?? I googled it all after the fact! LOL Plus I googled on how to get the stuck crust off!
I joined a bag swap for October on My Quilting Buddies group. We were to make Lazy Girl's one hour tote.
We were to make it with what we had. So I pieced strips from a jelly roll. I forgot to cut off the 4' inches for the handles, so it's bigger than it's supposed to be.
I made a Pumpkin muffin bread with dark chocolate espresso mini cups! Yummy
Recipe is from Joy of Baking
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins:
1 1/2 cups (195 grams) all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup (200 grams) granulated white sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup (75 grams) solid packed, canned pumpkin puree
1 cup (175 grams) semisweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C). Place rack in the middle of the oven. Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners or spray each cup with a non stick vegetable spray.
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, ground spices, and salt.
In the bowl of your electric mixer, or with a hand mixer, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. With the mixer on low speed, alternately add the flour mixture and pumpkin puree, in three additions, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Fill the muffin cups evenly with the batter using two spoons or an ice cream scoop. Place in the oven and bake for about 18 - 20 minutes, or until firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted in the center of one of the muffins comes out clean. Place on a wire rack to cool.
Makes 12 regular-sized muffins.
Note: The batter can be baked in a 9-inch (23 cm) loaf pan. Butter or spray the loaf pan with a non stick vegetable spray. Bake the loaf in a 350 degree F (177 degree C) oven for about 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean
