I was waiting for a week to feel well enough to do them, so when they were finally made, I just dolloped the frosting on with no ceremony whatsoever so I could scoff one. Unfortunately, my puppy reached up and woofed four down while they were cooling, had another one when I was doing the frosting, and finally climbed up to the counter and stretched his very long leg and paw up and had another one which he consumed complete with the green paper case. It might not look like much, but it makes me very content. Here's the recipe taken from <i>Vegan Cupcakes take over the World</i>:<br /><br />Carrot cake cupcakes<br />¾ cup all-purpose flour<br />¾ teaspoon baking soda<br />¼ teaspoon baking powder<br />¼ teaspoon salt<br />¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon<br />¼ teaspoon ground ginger<br />2/3 cup sugar<br />1/3 cup vegetable oil<br />1/3 cup soy yogurt (plain or vanilla)<br />1 teaspoon vanilla extract<br />1 cup finely grated carrots<br />¼ cup chopped walnuts (optional)<br />¼ cup raisins (optional)<br /><br />For decorating:<br />Cream cheese frosting<br /><br />1.Preheat oven to 170°C. Line muffin tin with 12 cupcake liners.<br />2.In a medium mixing bowl, mix together sugar, vegetable oil, yogurt, and vanilla. Sift in the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, spices), and mix until smooth, fold in carrots, and walnuts and raisins if using.<br />3.Spray the cupcake liners with non-stick baking spray. Fill the liners two-thirds full. Bake for 26 to 28 minutes until a toothpick inserted through the centre of one comes out clean.<br />4.Once fully cooled, top generously with cream cheese frosting.<br /><br />Vegan cream cheese frosting<br /><br />¼ cup nonhydrogenated margarine, softened<br />¼ cup vegan cream cheese, softened<br />2 cups icing sugar<br />1 teaspoon vanilla extract<br /><br />1.Cream together margarine and cream cheese until just combined. Sift in icing sugar a bit at a time and beat with the margarine/cheese mixture. When all the icing sugar is combined, whip with a handheld mixer. Mix until smooth and creamy, then mix in the vanilla. For a lemon tang, add fresh lemon juice and freshly grated lemon zest.</p>Cat Johnsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06952955886547934272noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573919327337072349.post-82411513968848258492011-09-05T07:03:00.003-07:002011-09-05T07:03:49.386-07:00bench Monday: the "I can do tae kwon do anywhere" edition<div style="text-align: left; padding: 3px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cat_moonstone/6116034648/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6194/6116034648_f427750b2a.jpg" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" alt="" /></a><br /><span style="font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cat_moonstone/6116034648/">bench Monday: the "I can do tae kwon do anywhere" edition</a>, originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cat_moonstone/">Cat Johnson</a>.</span></div><p>We went on a walk. With the dawg (he is <b>so</b> not in my good books, he keeps stealing my cupcakes by jumping up high to the work counter, five cupcakes in one go!!!). Anyways....we went on a walk to one of our favourite places, which, incidentally, is a bit of a dog walkers' paradise, and we found our favourite picnic table and had a picnic. Afterwards the boys jumped up on to it (don't you just love the Pavlov-like response; if they see something to stand on, they stand on it), and now thief-puppy is climbing up to, and my boy decided that it was as good a place as any to practice Tae Kwon Do. He loves TKD so much, and trains four times a week. He's begging to up this to five times a week but we've decided to say no, he needs a life, he's only five.</p>Cat Johnsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06952955886547934272noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573919327337072349.post-24393402780984475192011-09-05T07:03:00.001-07:002011-09-05T07:03:12.426-07:00pretty in pink<div style="text-align: left; padding: 3px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cat_moonstone/6109402690/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6066/6109402690_be5f7d6162.jpg" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" alt="" /></a><br /><span style="font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cat_moonstone/6109402690/">pretty in pink</a>, originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cat_moonstone/">Cat Johnson</a>.</span></div><p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c08vQ-vUhWI" rel="nofollow">The Psychedelic Furs</a><br /><br />SOOC</p>Cat Johnsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06952955886547934272noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573919327337072349.post-77574592349405339412011-09-05T07:02:00.005-07:002011-09-05T07:02:49.650-07:00circus puppy<div style="text-align: left; padding: 3px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cat_moonstone/6109358316/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6208/6109358316_54a98a799c.jpg" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" alt="" /></a><br /><span style="font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cat_moonstone/6109358316/">circus puppy</a>, originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cat_moonstone/">Cat Johnson</a>.</span></div><p>I have to wonder which idiot male taught the puppy to climb up on to the trampoline.

It all stems from the RAW debate of last week, where I did a snappy snap but shot it in RAW by mistake. Boy, that opened up a whole can of worms! So, having dicussed our plans for today, James suggested we do this shot of him in the raw.<br /><br />So there you have it, my husband in the raw, never to be seen this way again on the web! Enjoy (or not).</p>Cat Johnsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06952955886547934272noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573919327337072349.post-80243631896138806882011-08-24T03:59:00.001-07:002011-08-24T03:59:11.179-07:00and they call it puppy love<div style="text-align: left; padding: 3px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cat_moonstone/6065311867/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6200/6065311867_ba77d3c8b5.jpg" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" alt="" /></a><br /><span style="font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cat_moonstone/6065311867/">and they call it puppy love</a>, originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cat_moonstone/">Cat Johnson</a>.</span></div><p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYDgjY7_jW8&feature=related" rel="nofollow">Donny Osmond</a><br /><br />The boys look pretty happy with the new pup, all three are besotted with each other.<br /><br />As an aside, I totally loved Donny Osmond when I was about my boy's age.

Luckily I don't usually suffer all that much so one off day every few weeks isn't too bad. Dragged James down to one of our favourite spots this evening and requested that he lie down on a jetty to get the sunset. he refused, and probably quite rightly since it was covered in bird poo, so we opted for a picnic table instead.</p>Cat Johnsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06952955886547934272noreply@blogger.com1
