Cooking
When I get a new cookbook or cooking magazine, I grab a pad of sticky tabs, and mark the pages of (all) the recipes I want to try. I don't always get to them (all), but it saves time flipping through, thinking 'I know there's a recipe for (fill in the blank) here some where'.
Often, after I've done this, I will hand the publication to Matt and ask him to pick what he wants (from the already marked pages).
From the Williams-Sonoma Baking book, he marked these chocolate chip muffins.
A very chocolatey, and very dense, cake-like muffin. Only half a cup of flour for a recipe that allegedly makes a dozen. As I now make my muffins and cupcakes in the jumbo or mini pan, I can't say. But I'm willing to guess it makes less.
In any case, I got four, count 'em, FOUR, muffins from the jumbo pan.
And holy mackerel; these things were not meant as breakfast food. Dessert, maybe. If your dinner was a light salad, no dressing.
Seriously chocolate.

- Someone's In The Kitchen With Alex: Chocolate Bombs
I think I enjoy Alex's cookbooks just as much...if not more...than he does. I'm not sure why, exactly, but I do. He's accumulating a nice little shelf of them, too...and during the Christmas break, he kept bringing out his Donna Hay: Cool...
- 'b' Is For "brrrr' And 'blueberry'
Alex is a fruit monster. Cartons of berries disappear the day they're purchased. Melons last only as long as it takes to cut them up. The kid inhales fruit. One of his favorite fruits is blueberries. While shopping over the weekend, Matt noticed...
- Finally, As Promised:jalapeno-cornmeal Muffins
Indira's been waiting, and here they are! Muffins for Matt, three jalapenos, minced, cornmeal, flour, buttermilk, and mashed potatoes (recipe calls for zucchini, but ours went bad), topped with grated cheese (Asiago), and baked till dry and firm....
- Cinnamon Buttermilk Muffins
Second recipe from this book, and we're just as happy with the finished product. A nice muffin batter, with buttermilk and nutmeg (I like to think I don't need to include the 'freshly grated' instruction every time...), baked till dry...
- Now That's What I Call A 'muffin'
After a recent spend-fest at Bed, Bath & Beyond, and a purchase of a jumbo muffin pan, I then had to spend even more money, buying up muffin cookbooks. Two in the mail Monday, including the Williams-Sonoma Collection: Muffins book. A quick flip through,...

Chocolate Chip Muffins: Not for Breakfast
