Cooking
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, to find something I could make now. And as the fellows on "Coupling" say, "Re-sult!".
Bacon and Gruyere Muffins
Fairly simple. Milk, egg, sour cream, melted butter and/or bacon grease added to pretty basic dry ingredients, followed by the standard 'fold just until combined'. Add grated cheese and crumbled bacon, spoon into cups, bake till set.
Just so you have an idea...those muffins weigh around six ounces. Each!
I won't have Matt's report till later today, but I just can't see how they could go wrong.
And one muffin's all it takes...those suckers are huge!
Blog Party#7 is coming up, and this month? It's all about Red and Hot! Your cocktail and appetizer entries are due this Thursday, 16 February...send them to thehappysorceress at gmail dot com, or leave a link in the comment section. Get planning, and hope to see you at the party!

- Chocolate Chip Muffins: Not For Breakfast
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...
- Nothing Like The Smell Of Peanut Butter To Start The Day...
Haven't had much time, or inclination, really, to make breakfast foods for Matt lately. But Wednesday morning, around 1:30 (don't even ask what I was doing up at that hour), I decided I was fed up with myself for not baking anything, turned the...
- 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...
- A Neat Little Package
Couple of weeks ago, I made these - I think, personally - very scrumptious-looking muffins. Loads of almonds, milk chocolate chips and Daim chocolate. TONS I tell you! 56 kr. worth! (about $9!) So how come the result just wasn't good?? I mean they...

Now that's what I call a 'muffin'
