A Valentine's Day Story


 Husband M likes bran muffins so I decided to make some using this recipe.  The recipe uses buttermilk and molasses.  If you don't have buttermilk you can substitute plain yogurt or add a tablespoon of vinegar to a cup of milk.  Apparently brown sugar is a good substitute for molasses if you don't have any on hand.

So we have been trying to clear out our stacks of old paperwork, memorabilia, etc.  I seem to have kept all of my children's school notes throughout their school lives.  Anyway I came upon this old email printout sent from my sister dated February 5, 1998.  She doesn't remember it and thought maybe my mom might have sent it.  It contained a charming story which I found in this link.  I hope you will read it and have a Happy Valentine's Day!

What a touching story! I was wondering what would happen next. Lol. My God!
As for the muffins, I don't really care for bran. Too much fiber.
