I’m not really into pastries. I could pass by a donut tray and not even be tempted. And if there is a danish laying around? I’m not interested.

But sometimes all I really want is a warm muffin smeared with a bit of butter.

We rarely have muffins in our house. Mainly because they are a ‘breakfast’ food, and we rarely eat something like this for breakfast. We are also always on the go in the mornings, and Mr. How Sweet must get in his 27 egg whites to meet his protein requirements for the morning. You know the drill.

So in the chance that I ever do make muffins, I make them in the afternoon, or the evening.

And then they become the dessert that Mr. How Sweet shovels into his mouth while standing over sink.

When making muffins, I love adding some raw turbinado sugar on top for that delicious crunch.

I think most of us can agree that muffin tops are the best part, right?

So in my usual wasteful, bratty fashion, I tend to eat the tops off most muffins, and just leave them sitting on the counter.

I mean, I don’t want to waste the muffin by throwing it away.

But I only want the top.

(Which usually results in muffin tops over my jeans, but that’s neither here nor there.)

Muffins must be warm for me.

I’ll even take it when it is piping hot.

I usually scorch the tastebuds off of my tongue approximately 3 times a week, due to my lack of patience.

If you start seeing unappetizing recipes popping up, just know it’s because I no longer can taste anything. And we all know how boring the recipes would get if Mr. How Sweet was the only taste-tester.

Sometimes I am reluctant to only eat the muffin top, and feel like I should act as an adult.

As long as I can slather that baby with a bit of butter, all is right in the world.

Remember when I told you yesterday that Mr. How Sweet was a man’s man?

Last night was no exception.

He and his friends cut down a tree in our backyard, in the pouring rain, that was split from the massive snowstorm. There may have been a few cases of beer involved.

And some of that wretched old-school country that makes my ears bleed.

He looked like he took a roll in the mud. So I fed him pizza.
