eat make read

I had to giggle a little bit when I read this article in the Times. The author, Melissa Clark, asks what the difference is between a muffin and a cupcake. I’ve always told myself the difference is frosting and sweetness, but when it comes down to it, they’re both cake. As it says in the article, “Muffins are just an excuse to eat cake for breakfast.” I like to think muffins are a little better because they have fruit in them… right? Well anywho, there’s a yummy sounding recipe for Spicy Ginger Muffins with Currants and Toasted Pecans. It’s high on my list for weekend baking.
