Why Not Everything is “Double”?
In the past, when I bought blueberry muffins, I asked myself: Why there are so little blueberries in it? In a way, I think I found the answer today… Now, before I continue, I must mention I started to bake recently. Back in Panama, we only had stoves so that meant I never had home-made cookies or similar goodies (though my mom made similar steamed goodies).
So I took one of several quick bread recipes from Suanne (of Chowtimes) and made some adjustments. However, when preparing the strawberries and blueberries, I prepared a little more than expected (a little more than 2 cups for recipes that call for 1 cup). What to do? Well, that’s the reason of this entry – I just dumped all the berries in the mix. Below are the pictures of the end result.

I had that slice shown above. Yes, it had a lot of berries and, needless to say, it was good (Thanks Suanne for the recipe!). But, there were slightly sour spots… I think that was because of the fruit “burnt” to the side of the pan. Next time, I will try to stick with what the recipe calls, hehehe.
