Trip down memory lane

I found the cookbook I learned to cook "the american way" with when I first hit the States. And no, nowhere in it does it state that brownies are NOT a breakfast item! LOL. That must be one of the unwritten rules only natives know about so they can make fun of unexpecting foreigners :-) Anyway, I was thumbing thru it, and found a recipe I had all but forgotten..... the sweet memories came streaming in, and made me homesick. (I know I'm considered home, it just doesn't feel that way much.) The recipe was for "sunshine muffins". I used to make these and blueberry muffins if we were going away for a daytrip or camping, to eat on the way. I'm going to bake some, as soon as the stores open after the holiday and I can get some flour. I used to make batter for a dozen, split it up into 2 batches before adding the berries and pineapple, so we would have 6 of each...... And after a couple of times doing this, I made a full batch of each, and kept 2 each out and froze it for breakfast on Mike's day off, usually known as "sun up at Tahoe". We would get up at about 2 in the morning, because we has a 2 hour drive, and would be perched on the waters edge, on a rock, with a cup of coffee and a muffin before the sun came up..... The quiet and beauty were amazing. We would pick a big flat rock, and sit in a bearhug, just enjoying eachothers company and the surroundings. Depending on the week we'd had, we would either spend the day in the area, or get breakfast at a casino around 10, drive home and crash for a couple of hours, before getting the groceries in for de week. I though I share this with you, maybe inspire you to check out some recipe you haven't made in a while..... I hope you are enjoying your weekend, and don't forget to hug that loved one!
