Marcia, Marcia, Marcia Muffins

Muffins, muffins, muffins. We love muffins. I make pumpkin muffins regularly throughout the fall and winter. These were interesting because the recipe called for honey - and no butter, an anomaly in Alice's cooking.  They tasted sweet, sweet, sweet - too much honey. Julia thinks they would be better with chocolate chips, but what wouldn't? Made a dozen (although the recipe said they would be large, and as you can see they are rather small), so I left some at home and am taking the rest with me to Grand Rapids for Judy, Judy, Judy.

Episode Note: "Her Sister's Shadow" A seminal Brady Bunch episode and one with which I can personally identify. Jan is tired of constantly being compared to her older sister at school and utters one of the most famous lines from the series "Marcia this, Marcia that....Marcia,Marcia Marcia...that's all I ever hear". One of many episodes where Jan has an identity crisis. In an effort to seperate herself from Marcia, Jan enters a school essay contest. She appears to have won, until right before accepting the award she realizes that the teacher has made an error in computing the scores. Conflicted over whether to accept the recognition or fess up, Jan (in true Brady fashion) decides to tell the truth, thus sealing her fate as the quintessential middle child.
