Muffins Munchies

Sqquuaaawwkkk!

Wow! I love this internet! (whatever that is) I normally don1t like nets especially when they1re used to catch me..........but this one gives you recipes! That1s right, for food! (My favorite subject). My good buddies, Mark & Pam (they always take time to talk to me & scratch my head when they come over to visit Mom & Dad) have been 3surfing2 - (I thought that was something you did with a board on the water - how they do it with a net I1ll never understand!) But, hey, who cares. The result is what counts and this surfing expedition resulted in lots of good recipes for Mom to fix for me! I can1t wait till she has time to try them all. In the meantime maybe you1d like to cook up a special treat for your feathered 3kids2. Here's a couple to get you started. I1ll share more in the months ahead. Happy cooking!!!
