The other fun thing I saw today were ducklings! Sophie and I went for a walk by the lake and saw these babies. They must have just been hatched, otherwise I suspect they might not have survived the foul weather this weekend. I don't think the killdeer parents made it. There was no sign of a nest this morning when I went to work.
P.S. - CPR and First Aid certified! I can save your life!

Hello - You wanted the recipe for the cupcakes I made with the strawberries? It's from 125 Best Cupcake Recipes.
Preheat to 350, put cupcake liners in cupcake pan.
Mix 1 cup flour, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp baking soda and a pinch of salt - set aside.
In the mixer, blend 3/4 C. sugar, 1/4 C. unsalted butter. Add 2 egg whites (one at a time), and then 1/3 C pureed strawberries (about 4 or 5 large berries).
Measure 2/3 C. buttermilk. Alternately add flour and buttermilk to batter (1/3 the flour, then 1/2 the buttermilk, then the 2nd third of the flour, then the rest of the buttermilk, and then the last 1/3 of the flour mix).
Scoop the batter in to the cupcake liners, and bake for 20 to 25 minutes (until the tops spring back when touched). When they cool, I used a basic buttercream frosting (1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar per stick of butter, with a splash of vanilla).
Enjoy :-)
