We just had a little birthday over here at The Muffin Myth. As in the royal we. As in, I’m now thirty-two. Just let me take a moment to digest that; it some how seems so much older than 30 or 31. In a good way though, rounder, more complete. Am I making any sense?
In any case, if you are in Vancouver and you’ve got a reason to celebrate, let me recommend Nuba to you. I hit the newest Nuba location, at the Waldorf Hotel, with a gaggle of hip and cool people who were kind enough to spend their evening with me, and we enjoyed an amazing feast. I asked our server to choose a menu for us and serve us family style, and so everyone got a little bit of everything. It was fantastic food, and even after my friends refused to let me contribute to the meal, I believe the food tab came to no more than about $15 per paying person. Friends, thank-you. Your generosity is surpassed only by your ridiculously good looks.
All I asked for for my birthday was some flours. A couple of people checked in to see if I had intended to say all I wanted was some flowers but my months in Sweden had tarnished my ability to spell in English. I know what I said. And so, they brought me flours; spelt, millet, soy, tapioca, chickpea, buckwheat, and hazelnut. Hot dang! Amazingly, only two of the flour varietals I received appear in my book about baking with alternative flours, so I’ve got my work cut out for me researching and figuring out some recipes for my bouquet. Stay tuned for more reports on my adventures with flours!

Oooh, hazelnut flour? That sounds divine…
It’s basically just ground hazelnuts, but I’m sure it would be killer in a muffin recipe or something like that.
I have a recipe for yummy zuchini muffins that are made with almond flour. I wonder if it would work just as well with hazelnut flour!
All almond flour, or a blend with something else? I imagine that almond flour, like hazelnut flour, is essentially just ground almonds. I’m trying to brainstorm something chocolate and hazelnut (nutella!).
They are all almond flour, and yeah it is just ground up almonds!
Hmm, all almonds, eh? I’m intrigued. Can you send me the recipe?
Sure thing! Do you want me to just post it here or e-mail it?
You can use the email under the contacts tab. Thanks!

Hmm it appears like your website ate my first comment (it was
extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I had written and say, I’m thoroughly
enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to the whole thing. Do you have any recommendations for rookie blog writers? I’d
genuinely appreciate it.
Just be yourself!
