I recently met a lovely couple, now engaged. It seems they met on Facebook. He has 2 teenagers from a previous marriage. She has 5 kids aged 3 to 12 from a previous marriage. They each have their kids on alternate weekends in joint custody agreements. They live about 200 kms apart in different cities. That's about 2 hours' drive. The challenge is for them to spend time together, not to mention how married life will work. It's complicated.
L made delicious chocolate muffins last night using a Duncan Hines cake mix. She wanted to make them just like in the stores and decided they must fill the muffin cups right to the brim and it worked! They swelled into those oversized muffins. She pushed some chocolate chips down into each muffin before baking and decided to call them double chocolate chip muffins. I tried to have only half a muffin and ended up having the whole one. The same thing happened to M, who declared them 'light and fluffy'. K had 2 whole muffins.
Wow--good luck to that couple!
ReplyDeleteAnd those muffins sound dangerous. How many can you make if you fill them to the brim? about 6?
Japra, L made 12 muffins believe it or not!
ReplyDeleteThat is super complicated. glad they found love though. I understand that every other weekend is typical for custody but when 2 hours away that is hard!! I have my kids every weekend but for 24 hours, vs. 48 hours. I also have built in two weeks during the year for holidays. It so so hard but one does the best on e can when thrown into such situs.
ReplyDeleteThose muffins sound intersting!!
