Muffin Monday ~ Apple Custard Muffins

Is it wrong to want to kiss a colleague? As I said on Saturday, this weekend was hugely stressful with my data disappearing, a laptop that the hard drive and the motherboard have failed, and basically crying uncontrollably over seemingly lost budget papers.   The work papers were recovered on Saturday but not my food photos……until today!!!!   I really did want to kiss my two IT heroes but, in lieu of a harassment case, I made them fudge

I don’t have a lot of words today as I still have lots of cleaning to do.   I did manage to relieve a bit of stress by conquering the holy grail of recipes in gluten free but still have much to do.  Most importantly, I need to wrap presents and ice a layer cake because tomorrow is my sweet Chelsea Bun’s 14th Birthday.   I can hardly believe that 14 years have passed but that story is for tomorrow.   For today, enjoy this imaginative muffin with a coffee with your friends…….or those colleagues who save your backside!!!
