Blueberry Muffins Tied Up With String

These are a few of my favorite things...

This morning I just finished the last blueberry muffin with a nice cup of coffee.

Do you want the recipe and the story behind it? Check out my food blog And Razzleberry Dressing on BoomerGirl. You can find it here.

My mom used to make blueberry muffins on Christmas morning. I don't remember a single Christmas without them. This is a tradition I know do with my own family. So...thanks for the recipe link because I usually cheat and make them from a box! Hopefully I won't be lazy about it and try to make them at least once before December :)

I remember these! We didn't usually buy them, though, because we were more of a Filene's family, and my Nana would take me over to Bailey's for lunch after we were done shopping-- grilled ham and cheese, and a butterscotch sundae-- coffee ice cream, of course! Thanks for the reminder-- I can smell them now, mixed in with the smell of fresh purses and the cosmetics department.

nina - I love traditions like that. There is something so comforting about them. And you are quite welcome!

bipolarlawyercook - That's so funny! I guess there was kind of a rivalry between the two stores back in the day. And I can totally imagine the smell of purses. Another wonderful scent!

Oh, my gosh, I can't tell you how many times my family has sat at the table lamenting the closing of department stores--Filene's, Peerless, Jordan Marsh, etc. Why is that? I think it's their longing for some more peaceful past (even if it is romanticized),and I never tire of hearing them. Love the muffins too!

wheresmymind - LOL! You can have some with no strings attached!

amisha - Thank you! They were quite tasty. : )

kaylee - Me too! Did you make those cookies the last time?

susan - I guess we all do the same thing. Part of it too, might be that we suddenly realize how much things change and it kind of shocks us. I know it's been shocking me!
