Completed!

Well, the "baking blitz" from Saturday went off without a hitch.

I started mixing batter at 10:45.

The first batch went in the oven at 11:30.

The last batch came out about 2:00.

They were delivered by 3:00.

Then I prepped myself for the wedding and duties there.

I was thankful for a loaner muffin tin so that I could have 2 dozen in the over,

while another 2 were being prepared.

I was thankful that none of the muffins burned.

I was also thankful that God saw fit to have us sit at a table with a teenage celiac.

As we talked about the muffins, her ears perked up at the mention of gluten free cornmeal;

and I was able to assure her that they were indeed gluten free - 

she promptly returned to the buffet to sample one for herself.

155 corn muffins

I think that the favorite recipe of the week was Coriander-Crusted Salmon.

I think it may just be the sentimentality and reminder of our 4 years in Seattle where Salmon is a staple,

but it was a good recipe as well!

Coriander-Crusted Salmon

3 Tbsp ground coriander

1 tsp salt

1 tsp pepper

6 salmon fillets, thawed and patted dry

2 Tbsp olive oil

Rub fish with spices.

Cook three-four minutes per side in oiled skillet over Med-High heat.

Church Dinner this coming week:

I think that in the spirit of Valentine's Day,

chocolate covered strawberries sound good ...

... and an attempt at caramel covered berries for the non-chocolate eaters!
