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.
Indira was right to make her muffins for dinner; here's Matt's review:
Good. There's a good jalapeno flavor without overwhelming heat, and
they're remarkably soft for something made with cornmeal. Must be the
potatoes. I do think it might be a better dinner thing than breakfast,
though.
Sorry it took so long to post!
And man; am I getting my money's worth from those jumbo muffins pans, or what?

- Wdb#25: Pups At Play (almost)
It's another round-up of all things dogs at Sweetnicks; be sure to get your over-load of cuteness! Greenie 'toothbrushes' for everone. I'm just so happy! Wanna see? I'm so cute, it kills me. Hmmm...it would be so easy... Hey!...

Or in my case, you make Lemon Poppyseed Muffins. Third recipe from this book. The zest of two rather large lemons, two tablespoons of freshly-squeezed lemon juice, and 2/3 cup lemon-sugar (see above...if you can); you'd think this would a be a seriously...
- 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,...
