Mom said there woulf be days like that. Only she didn't mention that
there would be so many in a row.

I've got one sink and damned little usable counter space. And no dining
table/chairs. I generally eat at my confuser deak (after covering the
keyboard if it's a "messy" or drippy dish). When cooking I wash up as I
go. That has two benefits - the debris has not a chance to "set-up" and
cake on the dish/utensil. And it's pretty much ready for immediate use
on the next part.

If I hit the lottery for a good whack - or get an inheritance of good
size I'm going to design and have built my dream kitchen with all the
toys I've ever drooled over. And then make that the centre of my new
home.

But, that's in future. For now I'll deal with things as they are.

 blended.

 Spoon nine heaping tablespoons of batter on cranberries,
 three in each row. (Cranberries will show in spots.)
 Bake for 25 minutes or so until topping is golden brown.
