... "life is like a batch of muffins" ... so Reverend Gump said ...
... or do I hear a Martha Stewart periphrase? ...
... "when the going gets rough the tough bake bread" ...
... either way ...
... course grind balances fine blend ... a little salt to our sweet ...
... let's stir it up ... dry parts prime to come wet ...
... light-beaten egg ... finger-greased pan ... high oven heat ...
... and ...
... if you've ever seen sunshine emerge from a stove ...
... or smelled wafting readiness from a cook's kitchen ...
... you've "been to the mountaintop" ... gazed out and beheld ...
... my golden cornbread ...
... just add butter...
