> Hey All Done,
Hi there, Zen! Sorry I haven't written back. It's been a really long long-weekend for me.
> Did you get a chance to make those muffins? It took me two or three tries to work out the amounts of flour/cornmeal/millet to find the right balance for me crunch/sweet wise and also my oven temp varies so I bake slightly longer.Unfortunately, my son has been very sick since Friday. We actually had to bring him to the ER on Sunday night/Monday morning when he had a fever of 104.3! Turns out it's "just" an ear infection, so we have medicine for him now, but I wasn't able to get out much until yesterday for a bit. I bought all the ingredients I need for the muffins, but the store I was at was out of buttermilk. I'm familiar with the possible substitutions, but they've never quite worked for me. So, I'm going to get the buttermilk somewhere else. I'm *so* anxious to make them, though!
> I used to bake them for all my charges I took care of as well as bring some to group when I used to go. You would be surprised at the reaction of bringing a dozen homebaked muffins to your mechanic or local gas station attendants. It is fun to make em and being only one here I take the rest out as gifts.
Oooh, I love bringing baked goods as gifts! You are so lovely to share them with others. Baked goods seem to make everyone happy, don't they?
> My godkids are coming to visit me tomorrow so hopefully tonight I will have a batch ready for three sets of grubby mitts clammoring for goodies. = )
Have a fabulous day tomorrow, Zen! Your godkids are quite lucky to have you as their godmother.
> Sooooooooo...what did you think? a recipe to keep or one to toss in the circular file? ; )I will definitely let you know as soon as they're done!
> P.S. super bonus points for a husband who assures you that it is okay to relax for a bit. That's a keeper there!
You got that one right!
Thanks again for passing the recipe along. I bet they are going to be so yummy!
Laurie
