    I've been baking these muffins for 26 years - in Winnipeg, Abbotsford, Vancouver, Mayne Island and recently for the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises Home Retreat group at St. James' Anglican Church. Over the years, I've reduced the sugar, substituted whole wheat flour for white and added toasted flax seeds. They get better over the decades.

    Joyce, the last phrase says it all: "chocolate chips, as many as you wish". Solace, in this capricious life, takes many forms, but truly, chocolate is one of the pillars....
    Of course, to eat YOUR muffins in your presence is a whole other level of solace....
