My friend is retired and sits around a lot and thinks of
things to do. He takes a lot of baths I am told (I never go and see) and he
reads the paper and looks at the stocks on line. He is constantly rebuilding
his house so his wife will get a better price for it when he dies. He worries
about popcorn ceilings and door mouldings and such, way too much.
He is a great gardener, and grows some stuff that he
doesn’t like so I can get it. We encourage him to keep it going. I like Swiss
Chard, and we gets tons!
One of his pet projects is muffin making. He is good at
it and every now and then we receive mysterious bags of baked goods in our vestibule.
We usually find them within the day and they don’t often have to sit out
overnight.
Here are two bags, each with a few muffins, and they are
the result of a man with way too much time on his hands. The bags, you will
notice, are quite greasy, just like the good old days of donut purchases before
the modern age. I have translated the writing, as seem below.
Breakfast
Muffin with one change
Used
with the addition of Montreal corn beef Deli on Eglington Ave in Mississauga
I
got dispensation from the Rabbi.
Pear
and Pecan
Do
not know yet - have not made before
They are quite good, and the meat ones were fantastic but
I better not tell him for fear we’ll get more. A leftover sandwich may not be
everyone’s idea of a perfect larder! There is no refrigeration used anywhere,
much like an Asian bakery. It’s magic!
