Let’s talk about renovating houses, shall we?
Whoever (me) decided to buy an 80-year-old house that had been poorly fixed over the last few decades needs to be punched. Or at the very least, have some sense knocked into them.
A simple, “let’s repaint this spare bedroom!” has turned into a “well, we need to patch the cracks in the wall first” and “let’s rip down this shoddily put up trim around the top of the room”. Instead of an afternoon project, this has now turned into a several-weekends-long project.
In my spare time, I’ll be putting up netting tape and mudding cracks, instead of dusting off my hands and saying “well done”. As you can tell, I’m super jazzed about it.
Here’s to fixing the walls in your life and baking when you find time.
Note on the recipe: this batter is THICK. I mean, THIIIICK. Don’t be surprised when you put it into the muffin liners if it sticks to the spoon and won’t come off. Also, the best way to serve these muffins is with a pat of butter melted on top or inside.
