After a walk this early morning I felt like baking. I had a bag of fresh cranberries so I looked up a recipe for orange cranberry muffins. If you like cranberries you might like these muffins with a nice hint of orange rind and the juice of one orange these muffins are more on the tart side. They are a good accompaniment to a cup of coffee or in my case tea. If you like a sweeter muffin increase the sugar or top the unbaked muffin with some sugar.
There’s a sweet little neighborhood cafe called “Starling Diner” which is as cute as its’ name. I haven’t been there in years but went for breakfast this morning with my friend Jeanette. The food is great. They only serve eggs two ways:scrambled or poached but their menu is interesting and the food delicious. I had the blue crab cakes with scrambled eggs with their house potatoes which are super yummy. Jeanette had their classic breakfast eggs, potatoes and bacon. We lingered over our meal to catch up. Jeanette is an avid traveler and has recently completed her second trek on the famous Camino walk in Spain. There are different routes and her second three week trek this past spring started in Portugal. She will do another part of the Camino in May 2027 which begins in southern France. Very inspiring. A lovely meet up with a dear friend.
