This week, I've been feeling a bit sluggish. Slow on the bike. Drained energy. What's goin' on? Don't feel sick. Life is treating me well. Go figure. Tried to bike up the wall twice on Monday and couldn't do it.
When I got home, I had the urge to whip up some good ole' bran muffins -- tossed in some fresh berries, and voila! I whipped up the best darn muffins I've ever pulled from the oven! Jeremy's band was practicing downstairs and they all emerged from the basement drooling from the aroma that engulfed the kitchen. Those poor, starving musicians. They didn't stick around long enough for a sampling.
Check out this pan. Great for Yorkshire Pudding and even better for muffins!
I highly recommend getting a set of Yorkshire Pudding pans. These worked amazingly! Nice, high muffin tops - yummy! Scorfed one of these babies down before hitting the sack and then plowed into another helping for breakfast.
Well, let me just say that I have had a little bit more pep in my step! And the wall? Tackled it no problem on Tuesday morning - with gusto! Thanks, Bran, for bringing me back to life.
