Yep. Irish on the railroad from the East and Chinese on the railroad from the West.

Makin' chalkboard labels for things!

fancy

Ok, more like cleaning chalk pen first....

oh?

test

Sorry, fencing appt got here.

Back!

woo

wonder where Mr D is

though you all were up late

Sleeping, if he has any sense.

mmm, chocolate muffin

Train treat!

yup!

chocolate with chocolate chips

I think it might secretly be a cupcake without icing

I think a muffin should contain fruit and use the creaming method of mixing fat into the flour.

Chocolate w/chips? Face it, that's a cup cake.

a delicious one

though texture wise, it is not

muffiny texture

We might need an agreement about muffins v. cupcake the way we have an agreement about tomatoes.

wait, what?'

I forget the tomato agreement

Fruit and Veg depending on how it's prepared and even if it's raw, don't put it in fruit salad.

tomatoes are delicious?

Not you and I personally, I mean in a general culinary sense.

a tomato-based fruit salad is salsa

Yes.

Well, pico de gallo, which is uncooked salsa.

Yes

my go-to at chipotle

Texture has a lot to do with baked goods.

Yes

Muffin is denser than cupcake

So texture counts in the muffin v. cupcake debate.

fair

And the texture has to do with how you mix the fat into the flour.

gotcha

so - likely creamed!

Yep.

and likely a solid fat?

my cupcakes use oil

Butter is usually the fat of choice.
