That's a well thought out essay. I was just thinking earlier today how while I may never actually read Night of the Gun I appreciate knowing that exists, partially because it's such a great object lesson in the difference between How I Remember It and How It Was.
Apparently, my real problem with the jumbo muffin size is that I do not have nearly enough food storage containers that are appropriately sized to hold them comfortably. I'm regretting not impulse buying the cupcake carriers I saw at the grocery store.
Somewhat relatedly, I think I might be a bad person (sustainability-wise, anyway) because I have started using paper liners inside my silicone liners. These "muffins" do not have enough structurally integrity to make it on their own all naked and unprotected, and I can't be tying up precious silicone liners until the whole batch is eaten.
