I think I just ate some Christmas candy, although it might have been some sort of little decorative guest soap.
Speaking of blurred borders, at what point does a muffin become a cupcake? Because yesterday building management gave everyone a nice breakfast in the lobby, and I grabbed what I thought was a muffin. After a couple of bites I decided it was probably an un-iced cupcake. How does one distinguish?
The difference:
ReplyDeleteCupcakes are never mistaken for soap, while I often find myself obliviously toting a muffin into to shower, only to find myself lathered in crumbs!
cupcake = Icing
ReplyDeletemuffin = no Icing
"If you threw a cupcake against the wall, you would hear something of a "poof!" If you threw a muffin, you would hear a "thud!"

At the risk of counding like a bit of a killjoy - - Kevin, did you really google muffins and cupcakes? You Tablers kill me! And I love you all for it.
ReplyDeleteOf course not. I just consulted my fellow members of the North American Cupcake vs Muffin Debating Society. We meet the 2nd Tuesday of each month. The refreshments are great!
ReplyDelete"You" Tablers? Gee, Mrs. Kim, what do you think YOUR last name is? ;)
