By mistake, I bought some Crisco shortening a while back that is yellow!  I opened it up a few days ago to find it looked like butter.  I’ve never seen yellow shortening before.  I tasted it.  Definitely not butter!

My sister, a while back, commented that cheddar over here is orange but shouldn’t be.  Why do we put food colouring in everything?  Can’t we simply enjoy the taste of natural stuff?  Now Floyd’s muffins are extremely orangy-brown.

Breakfast!

This just an experiment.  I made meatloaf muffins!

It’s a mixture of ground beef and turkey along with finely chopped vegetables.  It turned out well but maybe a little too well done.
