muffin

Just before we left town last week, I desperately needed to do something with my cheap sweet potatoes that were sprouting. I waffled between making muffins based on The Frugal Girl's adaptation of the pumpkin muffins Money Saving Mom makes or just chopping and freezing them. I decided since I had the ingredients to make the muffins and expected Paul to bring his boss home for lunch, I'd better have some form of a dessert on hand.

Yesterday James, a new drug rep that I had not previously met, had lunch catered for the office. I suspect it could have been the best catering job we've ever experienced. It came from Sweet Tomatoes, and although I don't think much of them since they chewed me out for photographing their food, I can't say I was sorry for the delightful lunch. There were two ladies delivering the food, and I have never seen a faster set up and nicer arrangement of a meal for 60 people in our small kitchen.

The menu included three pre-made salads--a broccoli, lettuce, and bacon that was a success with my friends; a Caesar (with a dressing that I'm pretty sure is non-vegetarian, but I ate anyway based on the fact that I needed the vegetables), and a couscous with chick peas, red bell pepper, celery, and black olives. Although the couscous was a little bland without a great spicy dressing, it really was pretty good.
