I love them toasted, and then watch the butter melt into the nooks and crannies along with the swirls of golden honey.... As much as I love my trim healthy mama eating plan, I do miss English Muffins!!! I'll have to keep some around for a planned cheat once in a while.<br /><br />And I've always loved the views in Kentucky. Since you were born there, you can really enjoy them. We only lived there for five years, so we were always Yankee invaders when we ventured into the countryside. The natives tolerated us, but everyone knew we didn't belong there. You belong there. I bet you even add the required extra syllables when you talk! <br /><br />While we lived there, my husband's name expanded from one syllable to three. We call him Floyd, but his employees called him "Fa-low-weed" with the accent on the middle syllable. Say it out loud. Isn't that the perfect eastern Kentucky accent?Jan Drexlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609332074458434806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-23894096654491070122014-05-30T10:52:13.887-04:002014-05-30T10:52:13.887-04:00Oh, Kav!

I've run into people who think lilac bushes (and forsythias) are an invasive species and need to be hacked and controlled.<br /><br />We had neighbors in Kentucky who planted forsythias all along the fence between our property and theirs, and they were just getting big enough to be beautiful in the spring. But then they moved and sold their house to a plant-hacker. The forsythias, the beautiful rose garden, all the lovely shrubs around the house....<br /><br />Sniff. I'll mourn your lilac with you.<br /><br />I just remembered - I'm planning to hack a lilac this weekend. What??? Someone planted it at the foundation of the house, in the corner, and it was overgrown when we moved in. Now it's dying from the inside out. So I'm planting another one along the easement where it will have plenty of room to grow!Jan Drexlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609332074458434806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-51846081086551803132014-05-30T10:18:56.943-04:002014-05-30T10:18:56.943-04:00Yeah.

I've read ...Wow, that trip sounds exotic to me. I've read about all those places in fiction and so want to visit those states some day. And you have peonies already? Of course you do! <br /><br />Our lilacs are just flowering now. That's quite late for up here. Oh, and get this...last fall my landlord hacked away at half my lilac tree in the fall. Have no idea why. It was nearly dead when I first moved here eight years ago. I nursed it back to health and it gives a grand flower show every year. Anyway, he hacked it to bits and I was sure that he'd killed it, but lo and behold, it blossomed again this spring...kind of funny looking since there weren't many branches left, but that lilac bush has spirit and it wasn't going to let my axe crazed landlord bring it down. <br /><br />So I come home from work yesterday to find the poor thing is now nothing more than a stump. Landlord came back and hacked off all the flowering limbs. I have no idea why but I feel like someone has just dismembered by baby. Not to mention that all my shade plants in that area no longer have any shade. :-(<br /><br />Sorry for the rant but I had to tell someone who would understand. sniffle. And thanks for the recipe idea. I've never had an egg mcmuffin (because of the meat) but I could definitely do a vegetarian version at home.Kavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03719229222267994577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-50774411451039540212014-05-30T02:30:17.300-04:002014-05-30T02:30:17.300-04:00yum!
