A week of firsts...

I've done a lot of things for the first time over the past couple of weeks - started a blog, made a lampshade, etc. Now I have two more things to add, making banana nut muffins and re-potting a cactus. You heard right, a cactus...a 7' tall cactus, actually. It was not an easy task, and I cannot take all (or most) of the credit. Chris did most of the hard labor, but I helped...getting the soil, mixing it with perlite (I didn't even know what that was until this afternoon, but it's those little white balls in potting soil), etc. It looks great, see...

 Next on the to do list, banana nut muffins (without the nuts, I was out). I had never made any banana nut bread before, and we had some old bananas, so why not? They turned out great...here's the recipe I used. Yum!

I also found these little to go boxes at TJ Maxx and wrapped them up like this...

Now the only question left is who will I give them to?
