     I had a very sad looking box where I kept recipe cards from a very long time ago and I thought It time to go through and separate the good from the bad.  I was rather proud of myself, actually.  Thirty years ago, when I was in my 20's, I was recording some pretty great and unusual recipes; many of which I still have not yet tried.  Then, there were other recipes that definitely needed to be tossed along with the box. 
     I found a recipe card for Carrot and Currant Cornmeal Muffins in my mother's handwriting.  Altho' I have no memories of my mother ever making these muffins, I thought I'd bake them for breakfast this morning.  Tasty and crumbly, they are very good with a cup of tea.

I love this blog! Came over from the Expat's blog and I think I have already gained 10 lbs just looking! Beautiful stuff here. Is there a place to "follow"?
