“It is very strange, this domination of our intellect by our digestive organs. We cannot work, we cannot think, unless our stomach wills so. It dictates to us our emotions, our passions…After hot muffins, it says, “Be dull and soulless, like a beast of the field – a brainless animal, with listless eye, unlit by any ray of fancy, or of hope, or fear, or love, or life.”” – Jerome K. Jerome – Three Men in a Boat: To say Nothing of the Dog
This is our first muffin. It has been a while since I made them as I have been working up the will to write these. So here we go from memory: The Associative Muffin.
The Cranberry Sparkle Muffin is a variant of the muffin we have all the time. I make a standard Cranberry/Blueberry muffin that is wildly popular with all and is the standard to which all muffins must be compared. The recipes called for sanding sugar (the Sparkle component) which I have never heard of and could not locate. Whitehorse is still a small town and some ingredients are not to be found in our grocery stores even with minimal efforts .
The next muffin in the book has reviews from the family and friends but this one was made before our friend came up with the muffin blog idea. This article then mostly seems to be outlining the general features of the discourse while setting a benchmark with this delicious and popular cranberry muffin.
