thread that Nate and others were talking about. I read the post and how your sister wrote a book on muffins and these were in it. After reading about how good they are I had to try them out for myself. Wow!! Holy Moly they are damn good.. I was reading about bbsb on old post how I came into muffins and actually making them I'll never know but they are super... Thank your sister from me.. Ed
 
Is that the cranberry and white chocolate chip recipe? Dang, those are good! May have to make some next week for the blind. They are good with a hot cup of joe on a cold morning.

Best,
Nate
 
When hunting with guys you've never hunted with before bring Cranberry and White Chocolate Muffins. You will not only get invited again but you will have found some new best friends. Works every time.
 
Yes the Cranberry and White chocolate chip ones....

The boys are in for a treat this Saturday am....

Pete they are kind of a "magic muffin" wouldn't you say ??

I ate three before bed last night......hahaha... Wife and kids liked them... I hope there is a few left for my coffee break today.

Hopefully I'll have some ducks to cook up this weekend.. I have a great recipe for broiled duck breast that Jason T. posted back in Dec. 2000. on this site.. Been my favorite ever since...

thanks, Ed
 
Dang! Y'all must've been reading my mind! I just searched the old posts yesterday and found that recipe. Going to arkansas this weekend and was thinking about making a batch or two. Have to find a muffin tin that'll work in this crappy convection oven that my apartment has (max length has to be <12" or the try won't spin and a 9x13 pan is too long) or I'm doing the stop at the gas station and pick something up dance. I think I licked it, though. Going to get a silicone pan this afternoon at the mall.

Thanks, Eric, for keeping all the old posts. Just searched on 'muffin' and there it was.

Here's a question. Is white chocolate bad for dogs like regular chocolate is? Might mean the difference between sharing with Duncan and not.
 
Ed,

I sent the link to my sister as I'm sure she will enjoy hearing that her muffins are being enjoyed.

Thanks,
Scott

PS: to others out there, please remember once you've used your muffin tin for casting decoy weights don't use it for making Sandy's muffins splurge and get a new tin :^)
 
This is why I can't be pryed out of Petes boat. Those White Chocolate/Cranberry muffins are the best. Bill, we gave Pete's dog Otto a half bite(human) out of each muffin we had in the boat. It was that or hit the bilge pump to get rid of the drool or get bit. Pete gave me a couple for the ride home after the hunt...I ate one stopped along Lake Michigans North shore..watching the waves and the other after stopping at Jay's Sporting goods in Clare.
 
Thought I'd toss out a new Recipe just to say thanks.

Bill,

I was ready to reply that white chocolate was perfectly OK for dogs but did a quick google search and came up with this site. http://www.pets.ca/pettips/tips-20.htm

White chocolate: 200 ounces per pound of body weight. It takes 250 pounds of white chocolate to cause signs of nervous-system poisoning in a 20-pound dog, 125 pounds for a 10-pound dog.

According to their calculations my 100 lb Chessie would need to eat 1250 lbs of white chocolate to have any indication of nevous problems.
 
Thanks, Pete.
I guess he'll be getting the scones whilst I wolf down the muffins. Win/Win as I see it.


Be safe all............
 
OK, somebody may need to repost this recipe just in case I can't find mine at home. Thinking of making these tonight to bring in tomorrow to the office.

If Ryan Werden sees this maybe he can put it up. I emailed him the recipe but it was from my other, now-defunct, computer. No time today.
