I LOVE English Muffins - especially when they are drowned in butter unfortunately......

Those are tasty little devils.

Do you still have afternoon tea in England? When I was there that was very popular. scones and hort tea as I recall.

Lol, Yes, i take my mum out to places that do cream teas all the time, and I make scones for tea every Sunday through summer, and cheese ones in winter..But we dont really have them everyday for tea, but we do still eat at the time afternoon tea would be.And Linda, I am right with you on the butter, unfortunately, i cant eat anything without it. XXXXX

LOL me too Clay.

So I thought I had solved the butter issue by buying "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter". Well - I just watched a video that indicated these diet margarines actually make us fatter - no kidding!! Apparently since our bodies don't know what that fake butter is - our bodies send it right to fat. Not even a chance to work those 50% calories off.

But I'm am opting on not believing that - I just can't give up my butter - fake or not :)

I am right with you Linda, i love butter too much.. I have tried margerine, but the preservatives and casings that were in it, really made me ill, so at least with the farm butter i get i know thats all it is is butter.. I lost 30lbs about three years ago, and i didn't give my butter up then even or since. XXX

When I saw the title muffins I thought we were going to be discussing Chocolate Muffins, not the right kind at all.
I don't think I have actually eaten a Muffin but I must admit that if Cream Teas are on offer with Scones, Butter, Jam and Clotted Cream then I am afraid I am there and even though I drink coffee as a rule I am there with the cup of tea that goes with it, can't resist, luckily they don't do it to often where I live they are so tempting. I do love scones in all forms they come in, plain, fruit and cheese yum.

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
