it's true
I’m going to let you all in on a little secret of mine. The secret is that I have many dreams. In fact, I constitute everything I want to do/ haven’t ever been able to do as a valid dream of mine. It’s all a part of my scientific method, which you can read all about if you click on “about the style” above the Ray Bans at the top of this blog. Here are a few examples of some dreams I have:
- Up until Sunday, it was my dream to see Cats, the musical of course. Then on Sunday, I got to see Cats. I will say that I didn’t understand it in the least bit, so if you have any insight or experience with the musical don’t hesitate to contact me. But regardless, it is no longer my dream to see Cats because I saw it on Sunday.
- It is my dream to go to a Carvel ice cream shop. Up until college, I thought Carvel was just a company making ice cream cakes and selling them at Stop & Shop. Apparently they sell ice cream, and it’s a dream of mine to try it.
- It’s a dream of mine to see the movie “House Bunny.” But no one will watch it with me. I’m sorry but I think it looks hilarious. Actually I’m not sorry. Who wants to see House Bunny with me?
- There is a place across the street from my house called “Olde Ye Butcher Shoppe” or something to that effect. It’s my dream to go there. But would it be awkward if I didn’t buy anything?
- I also want to go to “Bread and Chocolate” on Whitney Ave.
- **Note: Most of my dreams are food and restaurant related.
- But some aren’t – for instance it’s always been a dream of mine to read Trinity, by Leon Uris. But I don’t think I’m in any sort of position to be able to get through it right now.
- It’s a dream of mine to go to India.
There are also a few, if not many, things that AREN’T dreams of mine. For example,
- I don’t ever want to enjoy eating a chicken wing.
- As an adult, I won’t have potpourri in my house.
- It’s never been a dream of mine to milk a cow.
I think you get the idea. But I digress. I originally planned on blogging about the most ongoing and constant dream of mine there is and ever was:
I WANT TO FIND A HEALTHY MUFFIN RECIPE THAT TASTES GOOD.
What constitutes as a healthy muffin, you may wonder. Well I’m glad you asked. A healthy muffin, according to my standards, should be relatively low in calories, and relatively high in fiber/ whole grains. My dream healthy muffin would be like a coffee cake muffin recipe with a butter struesel topping that is somehow healthy, but pigs can’t fly and I can’t breathe under water either so a simple blueberry muffin recipe would do just as well.
And I’ve tried. I’ve tried carrot-pecan muffins (you could knock someone out with one of those bricks). I’ve tried cottage cheese and cherry muffins (they oozed out of the pan). I made a molasses blackberry quick bread that tasted like a tree. I made Bran-raisin muffins that I ate but didn’t really enjoy (I tried to salvage them with powdered sugar -HA. As if.)
And so here I sit, not especially looking forward to my thousandth bowl of oatmeal tomorrow morning as I have given in to the fact that until I have my own kitchen and a Kitchen Aid electric mixer (to own a standing electric mixer is another dream of mine) I will be unable to cook up the healthiest and tastiest of muffins.
Any ideas?
