Here are a few recipes (courtesy of my mother), for muffins and other
tasty goodies. All of the recipes have been tried, and taste bud tested (my
mother has done the trying, and I have done the taste bud testing). Hope you
enjoy. If the response is good, I will have her post more to the group.

It was pointed out to me that I forgot to describe whether the orange should be sliced with its rind on, or off. The response from my mother was `wash the orange, and slice it into 8 pieces with the rind ON'. Sorry for the earlier bit of mis-information. Bruce Pinn p.s. Good Cooking.
