Late Night Baking with Jasmine Tang

Yes, i just finished baking some apple cinnamon muffins. Was quite nervous about it beocs it was the first time i tried out the recipe from AllRecipes. Went out really well even though i was shuffling between the kitchen and the computer. Wanted to make the muffins for dear Yili who's down with chicken pox. She loves apples so i decided to give it a try too. Hope she likes it. It turned out really well. No burning or cracking and smells heavenly!

I can imagine myself hosting a graveyard shift talk show. Baking and viewers/listeners calling in to talk about life and all that. Sounds cool..

Okie.. feel a bit tired now. Think i better sleep soon or else i wont be able to wake up to cook lunch for yili!
