No offense to Kayte, who picked these allspice crumb muffins (muffins! One bowl! Easy! Yay!), but I'm a wee bit distracted right now. Not to say that these weren't perfectly acceptable muffins. Helloooo, they have a CRUMB TOPPING! But it's just to say that they were sorta "eh" without that CRUMB TOPPING, especially because I didn't use freshly ground allspice. Oh, and my CRUMB TOPPING sorta melted together into a (tasty!) sugar coating on the top of each of my muffins. But who cares? It's CRUMB TOPPING!
Oh right, distraction. My excuse for being a wee bit scatter brained right now. Well, it started with this:
And (of course!) my answer was this:
Which meant I got this (handed down from his great grandmother!):
Well, I'll get it in a couple days. Darned fingers, with their large knuckles.
So I feel the need to apologize to Kayte for giving short shrift to these muffins with CRUMB TOPPING. Because, well, it's not her fault - they were tasty, just not quite as exciting as my weekend.
