Sending you big hugs and warm wishes. You know I'm here for you. <br /><br />The muffins sound really good as does the asparagus topping. My husband feels the same about white asparagus. The "hype" is why I don't follow food trends. But hey at least you tried them now. xoNancy https://www.blogger.com/profile/16584827253488904364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7325749581084923590.post-65357301044325961312012-09-27T10:46:38.640-07:002012-09-27T10:46:38.640-07:00I'm so sorry for your loss sweetie.

The muffins are on my list - the asparagus - not so much. I like tender and green! I have lost track of Foodbuzz - so what is the Foodbuzz Festival? Is that what their conference once was?<br /><br />I am sorry you experienced a loss - it does make you stand up and wonder when they are younger than you. Life throws in their challenges. And then I try and remember how lucky I am to have this day - but there are days I wish I had stayed in bed!Claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15601656778586008081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7325749581084923590.post-52801955896959325012012-09-24T04:05:04.357-07:002012-09-24T04:05:04.357-07:00Such yummy muffins...I love sunflower seeds!!!

The stuff I've had in restaurants has been great. The stuff I've bought? Let's just saying I'm not buying it anymore. And your muffins look terrific!Kitchen Riffshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09334461438904669081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7325749581084923590.post-87505414364437975132012-09-21T20:31:48.674-07:002012-09-21T20:31:48.674-07:00Gina, so sorry for your loss.

My grandfather passed in his sleep and I like to think that at least the passing, which we all have to do at some point, was peaceful. <br /><br />Onto cheerier topics, those muffins look AMAZING and I think I will try them while the hubby is away the next two weeks! I hate white asparagus too. I always thought it was just a bad batch since I only tried it once. I guess not!<br /><br />Hugs to you.

It is scary when someone close to your age passes away, and if it's before her/his parents. I cannot imagine losing my own child first. I'm sorry to hear.<br /><br />You and Patty will have an awesome time, and do update with lots of pictures please! :) I've never tried white asparagus but it's quite popular right? I just want to try one day at a restaurant as I'm not sure if I can cook it right. And lastly, your muffins look healthy and delicious. I never had muffins that has seeds (besides poppy seeds). You can tell I don't eat "homemade" muffins often... lol.
