Personal Notes:
I first served these muffins to Mark when he came to stay with me to build a new deck. They were very good and he ate a few too many. Needless to say, our building project was delayed multiple times that day. He had a new understanding of regularity and the importance of eating in moderation! We still laugh about that :)
