MUFFINS!

i whipped up an early a.m. batch of blueberry muffins so good,
they make me want to do high kicks and berserker somersaults.
the thing is:
i'm not as spry as i was once....
so, instead of that, i ate about a dozen of them,
and was far too fat and full to flip out all over the place with jumps and sh!t.
at least that's why i tell myself i didn't do the tip-top-toe kicks throughout the house.
what brought on the muffinstorm?
well,
my dudes were in town, and they needed breakfast,
and that's what really real hosts provide when they see a need that needs filling,
or an empty bellyhole that needs nourishing-
at least,
that's how it goes if you understand the concepts of gratitude and generosity, y'know?
yeah.
you know.
so, i fed my friends with fresh-baked flavorful antioxidant dopeness.
and really, what else would i have done?
there's protocols in place in regards to entertaining after all.
just look at what i'm talking about, man:
BLUEBERRIES ARE FOR BREAKFAST!!!
shoutouts to these little heavies-
you guys like muffins?
word up.....me too!!
these big action babies are spongy, firm, buttercrusty,
and covered in light-brown sugary cinnamon-kissed streusel!
F* yes!
i recommend you make a batch yourself-
huh?
...why?
what do you mean: why??
because they're really good, duh.
here's how to have a whole tray of morning magnificence in under an hour:
-

HUGGY-BABY BLOOBIE BLOX!!
-
preheat your oven to 350℉
-
in a medium mixing bowl, begin by creaming together:
3/4 cup sugar;
1 stick earth balance vegan butter;
1/2 tsp salt;
1 tsp vanilla;
1 T lemon zest.
-
stir in:
1/2 cup vegan sour cream;
2 fat cups of a.p. flour;
1 tsp bakey powder;
1 tsp bakey soda;
1 cup wild maine miniature blueberries,
(or any other not-as-good blueberries if that's what you've got, i guess);
1/4 cup tapioca;
and 1/2 cup non-dairy milk.
a quick fold-in, and stir-up,
and you've got a lightly lavender-hued berry blarpity batter, ready for baking.
greased muffin tins,
and a scoople apiece,
and you're well on your way.
HOWever,
rules is rules,
and muffins need streusel-
-
1/4 cup oatbran;
and 1/4 cup flour;
1 tsp vanilla;
1/4 cup light brown sugar;
3 T vegan butter;
cinnamon, allspice, ginger;
and a dash of lemon zest;
voilĂ !
DASSAVIBE!!!
-
bake those little baddies for 20ish minutes,
and eat them right away.
your face isn't ready for this much hottness,
but it'll have to adapt, because once you tune up one,
you're gonna need another 'nother couple dozen immediately.
ha!
that's real.
***********
SATURDAY.
that's what's up.
today is the day, duders.
we get our signs.
we get to zipzap some oldschool regulars from the old spot.
we've got Perfect Fall Day magic on our side.
and it's official.
autumn is here.
and not for nothin', the equinox was tight.
indian food, a dog walk, some vegan ice cream, and exercise after the fact...
that's a whole post-work evening's worth of good stuff.
i'm grateful for the company i keep.
i'm thankful for all the work i'm doing,
and humbled by all there is ahead of me.
it's all really happening,
which is kind of the whole damned point, isn't it?
...yeah.
everything is unfolding around us like it's supposed to.
there's a kind of comforting horror in that;
never quiet, never soft.....
