The gnarly muffin,
oven art:
happy stomach,
happy heart.
Each lump a wink
of what’s within,
promise of sugar
on the chin.
I read of COVID projects.
One of mine is the pursuit of the
perfect
gluten-free
blueberry muffin.
A worthy quest, don’t you think, dear reader?

A delicious blueberry muffin, with or without gluten, is definitely a worthy quest. I hope it was delicious. 🙂 I eat blueberries almost every morning. A day with blueberries is a good day. 🙂

Blueberries are a superfood, right? So is sugar, right? So the two together should make us invincible, right? As for this batch, it was OK but not the best. Gee golly, I’ll have to try more.

p.s. How are things there? We had a rather heavy frost but I’m not sure of damages yet.

Cold, cold, cold and brutal winds. I don’t know if there has been damage. It’s been too cold to go out. 🙂

It sounds dreadful! I will have my fingers crossed that your plants will be OK. What a weekend!

A very worthy quest. Plastic perfection is overrated in muffins – gnarly is almost a guarantee of wholesomeness. Either your blueberries are massive or your muffins small – I’m used to the ones that grow wild on our moors and in woodland (wimberries).

Absolutely — a smooth and tidy muffin is not to be trusted! I’d say the blueberries in these muffins qualify as massive. I cannot imagine the luxury of blueberries that grow wild. That would be fun! And what happy purple faces!
