Love within a cloud, a cloud moved by love
Pervading that same ethereal fleece,
Bringing down drops of rain. – St. Gregory of Narek (951-1003)
Mincemeat muffins are not bad. We don’t eat much meat in this house other than fish and seafood so I used some non-meat (non-fish) mincemeat. The palate in our house leans toward medieval so the cinnamon, nutmeg and mincemeat convey just the right hint of the Avignon papacy.
Avignon is a beautiful city. I had hitchhiked there through Lyon when I was young. I grew up in love with France and Europe, reading the Larousse Gastronomique and the Western Canon. Living in small towns you often see only fragments of the high culture. We have a couple philosophy books in our local library including a old pair of Plato and Aristotle books.
The curious child of the periphery, builds a strange culture.

Reviewer #1: Tastes like Christmas! Also like a hot cross bun, so Easter. A festive muffin. I ate too many and felt a bit bloated.
