Muffin

​I was not sure before, but I now think it really is a bad idea.  I thought, “one swallow does not a summer make” so I thought I would give the dictionary another go.  Let’s just say I am wanting summer to come real quick.  I want big mobs of swallows to appear.
I went to the dictionary to write about the first word I saw.
It was “muffin.”
I have muffins so rarely.  Now if it had been “steak”, I have had a few of them in my time.  Or even “potato.”  But no.  It was “muffin.”
I got the definition wrong at first.  The word was domed.  I read doomed.  “a small domed spongy cake made with eggs and baking powder.”  Put it in front of me though and it is doomed.  Piece by piece it will be consumed.  Not a pleasant way to go.  For it anyway.  It is for me.
I might be saved though.  It just occurred to me that on Friday for breaky we often have a “bacon and egg mcmuffin.”  We get it from the drive through take away.  I have learned I need to be really specific.  One time we got home to find there was nothing on the muffin.  Zero.  Zilch.
So much for salivating ready to eat.  It was a real disappointment to open the muffin to find nothing.  A thorough search was conducted and still we found nothing.  Mc Donald’s were good though.  I told them and the right thing was forthcoming.  Now I specify every time the exact thing I am after. “Two bacon and egg mcmuffins with one hash brown thank you.”  “Is that all?”  “Yes thanks.”  “That’s (whatever it is).  Drive through.”
One-time Merril and I thought the attendant should have been doing paid politic adds.  She spoke so fast.  All that was needed was for her to say “Authorized by Mc Donald’s for the McDonald’s party. 147 Station Road Burpengary”
But the word I saw was “muffin” and not “mcmuffin.”  So maybe that could be disqualified on a technicality.
I was stumped so I looked up the internet.  Bad idea.  I can’t believe the amount of stuff on muffins.  Type in “muffin” and a whole world of muffins opens up.  Apart from what is written, there are video’s of muffin recipe ideas.  One article was titled “Muffins – All recipes Australia NZ.”  Seems there is even a muffin alliance.  Muffin cooking is so not a place I would normally visit.  Doesn’t all food come from the freezer in containers?
The kitchen is not my regular haunt.  When Merril is preparing a meal, it should be taped off.  The end product is always good, but I try to stay out of the way.  That’s just the kinda guy I am.  Besides don’t women often get married in white to match all the white goods in the kitchen?
Thankfully this is a one-off.  I do not think I will be writing about muffins again.  It is not the sort of topic that I think about often.  So I cannot see myself writing about muffin variations.  Still, I have learned to never say never.  Let’s just say, “I sure hope not.”
