The muffin trials have begun.

porcinea's banana muffins are indeed fool-proof, and I should know, because I'm the fool who forgot the butter, scooped the batter out of the tins, stirred the butter in as well as she could, and then baked huge muffins, two of which went down the teenager's gullet to cries of "Oh Em Gee these are so awesome!"

tiger_spot's Morning Glorious muffins are in the oven, minus the cinnamon, and with dried cherries in place of raisins. I'll let you know, but ooh, they smell good.

Next, a batch of thrown-together muffins using up some of what I've got handy, like dried cherries and a fresh mango that needs to go. Maybe coconut and pineapple? I know -- tropical fruit-salad muffins! Yes, that's just the ticket.

Short version: Hard as life can be sometimes, it's full of little joys, and big ones, too.
