Let me start off by saying I did not make them. Friday was another total fail!!
I woke up at R's place with a five hour drive ahead of me and a growling belly. I should have made oatmeal or something but I woke up with a craving for one of the best muffins ever. Where are they? Cafe Ole in Pembroke, Ontario. I've seriously never found another one like it. I was considering what makes them so good as I started my drive to Toronto.
For starters they're a real hearty muffin. They are big and brown and you'll usually find oats throughout. They're also jam packed with fruit. This time I had a blueberry-peach muffin and the fruit adds such a nice texture and sweetness to the muffin. I once asked if there was dairy in them and Christine Tomka, the owner, told me there is no added fat to the muffins. I don't understand how she does it but it makes a difference. When I get a craving in Ottawa I try muffins from other small cafes but they always seem worse for you. You can taste the oil or something.
These muffins are usually too big for me to eat in one serving but I couldn't stop this time. I ate it at 10 and then I wasn't even hungry again until 4. I figure it's kind of like eating a big bowl or oatmeal with fruit. Or something.
Again, I was going to take a photo but didn't want to stop eating.
And... because I was driving I clearly didn't make lunch.
I was going to make dinner for my mom and sisters but when I arrived at my parents' my sisters called and said they were coming to get me. They had found a store that had the wedding dress I wanted and they wanted to see me try it on but the store closed in an hour and a half.
We tried on dresses and then ran out of time to make dinner before going to the movies which we were doing for my mom's birthday (a belated celebration).
Now I'm going to make breakfast so that I can say I made SOMETHING this weekend!
