Sunday Morning Cherry Muffins

I must confess it’s mostly the little things that make up my quiet happinesses: a week of sun, waking up every day except Monday to warmth and light and summer; my near-daily americano, an indulgence at $2/per, with organic milk and sugar; a perfect peach, cut in long juicy slices for my breakfast; a surprise lunch meet-up yesterday (and Out the Door veggie rolls — thanks, mom!)

; learning something new from the A.P. style guide (it’s Smokey Bear not Smokey the Bear — who knew?) ; an unexpected new book stumbled over in the library, in this case The Secret River, by Kate Grenville, about settling Australia, and the aboriginal conflict that resulted. I’ll take vacations to exotic locales, but give me a long, lazy afternoon with a bowl of strawberries and a good book and I’ll be just as content. Or, throw in one of the cherry muffins I made the other morning and a day will be elevated above the ordinary. [Breakfast frittata, June 2008.] Preheat oven to 375 F. Carrot Muffins Recipe.

I’m partying here! Whisk Kid. Selecting a cart is the first of my troubles.

Whisk Kid

It happens all too often that I grab the handle of one in a row, confidently tug it in my direction and consequently find myself reeling backward with neither my balance nor dignity. Or the cart. Then, if I am to victoriously retrieve a cart from its resting place, I always find it difficult to excuse myself from the surrounding environment. Amongst other cart-hungry folks and those innocently entering and leaving the store, that breezeway becomes a dark labyrinth; the cart an unfortunate extension of the limbs. Patience always prevails as the best option, but it is so tempting to simply disrupt the flow, expediting my escape and angering those around me.
