I had a total rest today, no work at all. Reading books almost the whole day, life never felt so good to just chill out and not worry about deadline. I have been living my life on the edge for as long as I remember. Can't even remember the last time I went out. And I baked the muffins again, this time I used the same recipe but different fillings. For one batch, I put chocolate chips and banana. For the other batch, I put raisins. Both turned out delicious and smelling lovely. This recipe is definitely a keeper, low fat and yummy muffins. The crunchy streusel topping is really addictive.

I went to Cedele to chill out in the afternoon, and I ordered a blueberry crumble muffin. I have been sort of craving for it after mum bought it for breakfast one day. I think its really good. Moist, and yet not too sweet, with the tangy blueberries, and most importantly, generourous heaping of the streusel topping I so love. And it didn't feel oily at all, so I suppose it must be quite healthy. I really love it. I wonder how the exterior can be so nicely browned yet its so soft and moist. The mufins I make are always somewhat anaemic looking because I am so afraid I would over bake it.

Then I saw the carrot cake beckoning out to me, and I couldn't resist ordering that too. I really love it. Moist, studded with walnuts and the delicious cream cheese icing. Now that I have mastered muffins, I think I might move on to carrot cake too. I guess it's an acquired taste. I used to only like to eat chocolate cakes, but somehow nowadays, I eat chocolate, but I tend to eat other kind of cakes.

Ah, it was really bliss. To eat my cake and read a book...
