room for improvement...

 old version on the left, mine on the right...

The other day i was going through the BAJILLION papers i have not gone through since my move up to washington, and as i was sifting through the pay stubs, old cards, and books i stumbled upon a recipe my sister had sent me a while back. it was a recipe for banana spice muffins she had found in a book. so i checked out the recipe and saw if i had all the things in my kitchen, check and check! i was good to go (plus i still hadn't gotten the flour to make my croissants...but that's another story)! anyhoo, so i started to make them, mixed all the ingredients, put them in their cups in the cupcake pan, set my oven and stuck them in. but, unfortunately for me my sister forgot to write how long i had to bake them for! so i set it for 20 minutes and watched attentively so they didn't get burnt. as i watched them puff up and turn a good color i took them out. i placed them on top of the oven to cool, and then they all fell down!! quicker than a souffle when it falls! i was so saddened by the look and the taste of them that i decided to look up some other muffin recipes online and see if i could spice them up a bit more...added more flour, sugar, baking soda, and brown sugar crumbles on top and voila! a "muffinier" muffin appeared! however i still think it needs more banana, but as the title suggests, there is always room for improvement ^_~
